Martha’s Studio
A creative place to ease pain, awaken creativity, become aware and grow.
Help for English speaking adult expats and locals.
Change is an implicit part of life, and, as human beings, we evolve and live fully when we are exposed to and deal with changes, big or small.
However, changes can be challenging to face and tempting to resist. When you go through big life changes that turn your life upside down, including moving cities or countries, the amount of change happening simultaneously can be daunting.
This is when you may reach out for help. Martha’s Studio can help you tolerate and integrate the changes. Maybe you need help to simply conquer the slippery hills of Lisbon on foot without fear of falling. It can also be more complex, such as dealing with culture clashes or the absence of support from nearby friends and family. Or perhaps you are experiencing a nervousness never felt before accompanied by mysterious pains in your body.
