Olga Martínez

Olga was originally a research scientist at Harvard University and has managed science labs at UC Berkeley and elsewhere. Since then her journey has taken a more inward focus. She facilitates Family Constellation workshops and also uses Sound Bowls, Access Bars, Reiki, and cacao ceremonies in her healing practice. Olga and Mark have been married since 1996, and credit Positive Discipline and their inner work with the longevity of their relationship. Their skills complement one another beautifully in their various workshops also.
