"Humanistic philosophy [offers] a new conception of learning, of teaching, and of education.  Stated simply, such a concept holds that the function of education, the goal of education - the human goal, the humanistic goal, the goal so far as human beings are concerned - is ultimately the 'self-actualization' of a person, the becoming fully human, the development of the fullest height that the human species can stand up to or that the particular individual can come to.  In a less technical way, it is helping the person to become the best that he is able to become." - Maszlow
 
  "My mentor coach Deb Martin has been the perfect intuitive guide for me.  Deb reminds me to enjoy BEING in the moment while manifesting my wildest dreams.  Deb is my rock when I need grounding and the gust of wind that fills my my sails when I second guess my lofty visions.  My coach truly inspires me to create and live an authentic life."
SVL
"Deb Martin sets the example all the way through as a coach who is totally comfortable in her own skin.  She's built her coaching practice authentically and is tops as a mentor coach.  With her I help I built my practice from two to thirteen clients in 6 months.  From our first session she has lovingly held my space in sacred respect, no matter how tough the challenge and the feelings. Working with Deb is productive, sound and we laugh out loud on nearly every call."

 "Deb has helped me accept who I really am, and supports me on a journey to fully realize my life...in spite of my best efforts to imagine insurmountable obstacles every step of the way!"

 Alison Boston, Athlete, Artist and Performer

   
 "I began my working relationship with Deb when I was coming to the end of a long teaching career. I was leaving my comfort-zone of teaching to embark on a new and challenging coaching career. Initially, I chose Deb as my mentor coach from the thousands of other coaches out there simply because of her love of the outdoors and her adventuresome spirit; something we have in common. As she successfully guided me through a scary transition from teacher to coach-in-training to ultimately, coach I realized there was so much more to Deb than the wilderness, wild side that I love about her.

Deb is an intuitive listener who has a gift for asking powerful questions that guide her clients to their own incredible insights. I have come away from absolutely each and every session with Deb with a greater clarity and awareness of who I am and where I want to go because of her amazing ability to sift through the light stuff and get right to the core of any dilemma. Her unique understanding of the human psyche, coupled with her wonderfully irreverent spirit and sense of fun has made her, in my estimation, the Queen of Coaches! Deb has impacted just about every aspect of my life. She is not only my coach extraordinaire; she has become a life-long friend."

  Dear Deb,
 "I've wanted to write to you now for quite sometime and thank you for all that you've done for me.  They were simple gestures and guidances which allowed me to feel protected, connected and reassured.  This has allowed for magic to happen.  Has allowed for the "right" teachers, circumstances and situations to occur which have moved me along on this ever changing creation called life. I appreciate you for not pushing me to do anything I wasn't ready to do and for not making me feel less than who I am."

Ken, Chiropractor

 "Deb Martin is without a doubt the best. Deb has a way to get right to the root of the problem and teaches problem solving techniques. She has helped me not only through my personal life but also in my business, to become very organized and productive. I highly recommend Deb to be involved in any aspect of your life. I consider Deb to be not only a Great Coach, but also a life long friend."

"Deb, I love you!!! "
