OMA Wellness was founded 10 years ago by Giselle Martins, an internationally qualified therapist who takes a holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing, integrating contemporary and evidence-based therapeutic methods with traditional practices. Giselle Martins is a qualified therapist with a Dip. in Counselling and B.Soc.Sc. She has undergone postgraduate training across New Zealand, Brasil, and at UC Berkeley, USA, where she was also directly taught by Peter Levine, the founder of Somatic Experiencing. Additionally, drawing from over 15 years of dedicated meditation practice, and as a certified Taiji and Qigong instructor trained at the Wudang Mountains in China, she integrates mindfulness into her therapeutic approach. Giselle brings a rich and diverse background to her practice, having worked with Indigenous communities, served as a university course tutor, and supported survivors of severe interpersonal violence and abuse. She has supported hundreds of clients globally through individual therapy, group workshops and retreats. Her purpose is to provide guidance on the journey toward inner peace and resilience.

39 and still swinging (literally 😄) through life with a curious heart, a big smile, and a playful soul.

Time flies, and life is fragile, but that only makes me want to live it even more fully.

Laugh louder, love deeper, stay open, stay wild, and keep saying yes to wonder.

Age may climb, but my spirit stays light. 💫

I honour the ones who walked before me,
The forest-dwellers of old Germania, who whispered with trees, sang with wolves, and lit fires in rhythm with the stars.

The songweavers and earth women of Slavic lands, who danced with the rivers, offered herbs to the moon, and spoke to their ancestors in dream and ritual.

The first people of Brasil, who moved with the jaguar and knew the language of water, fire, wind, and root.
The blend of spirits and saints, of drums and prayers, of candles and African rhythms, that shaped the soul of Brasil I come from.

I honour the ones who survived, the ones who remembered, and the ones whose stories were silenced.
Through my blood, your memory moves.
Through my voice, your song returns.
Through my breath, I root into the earth and rise to the stars.

May I walk with reverence.
May I carry you with care.
So be it. 🙏🏽

Stepping away from the scroll to return to the soul.

Taking a sacred pause to quiet the noise and deepen my roots in the stillness where spirit speaks.

If you need to reach me during this digital detox, I’m still reachable at omawellness.info@gmail.com

See you on the other side of presence. 💚

Resilience

Beneath the weight of broken skies,
the river bends — but never dies.
It finds new banks, it carves new stone,
it makes a wilderness its own.
So too the soul, through grief and flame,
rewrites the world, and claims its name.

Trauma survivors often develop over-attunement, where they become hyper-aware of others' needs at the cost of their own.

In this carousel, I explore how this coping mechanism forms and how it impacts healing. Understanding this dynamic is key to reclaiming balance and nurturing self-awareness.

Fake Healers

You wear the feathers, but have you felt the wind?
You chant the mantras, but do you know the silence they come from?
You speak of healing, but does it live inside you or only in the words you repeat, the poses you perfect, the workshops you sell?
Is it a costume, or is it a calling?

Today, ancient practices become hashtags, sacred lands turned into profit, ceremonies marketed like products.

The real medicine demands more.
It calls for sacrifice, a truth that lives in your bones, a reverence for the unseen.

It asks for hands that have tilled soil,
for hearts that have been broken and rebuilt, not with gold,
but with humility and integrity.

Healer isn't a title you claim, not a badge you wear.
It's not about the image you craft,
the followers you gain, or the identity you adopt.
It's about what you've lived-the weight carried in your body, the stories woven into your being.
It's the wisdom whispered by ancestors, the truth passed down through generations.
It's not for sale.
It's not a product.
It's a calling that demands everything, a commitment to the soul.

There's no shame in wanting to heal, no fault in wanting to serve.
But the call to heal others demands a deeper responsibility to walk through the fire, to confront your own shadows first.

True healing is humility.
It's not about being seen, not about claiming light, but about becoming the bridge . A space between the broken and the whole.

Honour the roots, the lands these teachings rise from, the ancestors who carried them through.
Recognize the voices who first spoke them, those who held these truths when the world turned away.
It's more than a practice. It's lineage, sacrifice, respect.
It's about returning these teachings
to the soil they come from.

The spiritual space isn't a market;
it's become a battleground.
But when the roots are honoured, when the teachings are held with reverence, the medicine does its work-unseen, profound, pure.
This is where the magic lives-not in claiming titles, but in honouring truths.

A bit of my journey

Ola, Kia Ora, Hi!

I am Giselle Martins, I have a degree in Psychology, Human Development and a certificate of Human Anatomy & Physiology. I am a holistic therapist, certified Qigong teacher, international mentor, speaker and retreat facilitator and my purpose is to bring awareness, supporting human beings to evolve into conscious beings through sharing the gifts I have received and remembered along my journey.

I grew up in an alternative family and started meditating by the influence of my parents when I was around 7 years old. I have always been aware of the subtle energies through the practice of channeling healing of Johrei on my family, friends and even in public places such as hospitals and on the streets in Brazil. Since early age I have studied and participated in psychic surgery groups from the Spiritism philosophy, crystal activation rituals, shamanic initiated and I am a certified Reiki practitioner.

I have received precious buddha-dharma teachings from the Vajrayana/Dzogchen (Ta**ra) tradition from Kagyu lineage and throughout the last eight years I have engaged in various meditative retreat work, including a 6 weeks silent retreat, with support and guidance from my beloved root teacher Lama Yongdu Chokyi Gyaltsen. In addition, since 2014 I have studied Taoist energy arts, including Qigong, Tai Chi and Tui Na, holding over 500hrs of Qigong training by different lineage holders of the Internal Martial Arts, including deep immersion up in the Wudang Mountains in China - the home of Tai Chi.
