“Marta, this work changed my life.
Now I know, that I was meant to take a sabbatical and go to all the way to Bali - just to find your workshop. I keep using the tools and already see changes in my relationships to work and people.
Thank you so much! Please, keep teaching”

I loved it and can‘t wait for future workshops!”
