About Me

I am a native New Englander who has always been drawn to the beach at sunrise because each time the sun clears the horizon, my hope is renewed. I believe that home is where all good things begin. However, there is no magic formula to create such a home. It requires a never-ending flow of work to maintain order and harmony: physically, mentally, and spiritually. Sometimes our best efforts fail and we need others to orient our compass back toward home. I have decades of experience helping people work through overwhelming situations. I look forward to working with you!

All the best,

Heidi Martin

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at acompassforhome@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is holistic coaching?

Holistic coaching addresses all of the aspects of you: mind, body, and spirit, and all of the aspects of your life: physical surroundings, relationships, career, and community. My coaching gives you the ability to talk to someone confidentially about anything that is not at the level that you enjoy. You will gain fresh insight and receive help to formulate steps which will improve your situation. You will be more encouraged and motivated because you will have a companion who has been trained to recognize behavior and patterns that are preventing your success, while teaching you approaches which will jump you out of coping into overcoming.

How do I know whether or not coaching will help me?

I offer a free 20 minute consultation so you can become more familiar with the process of telling your story and receiving feedback on how to move forward with a problem-solving mindset.

What does coaching provide?

You will learn new habits, new ways of communicating, and new perspectives that will give you the motivation and energy you need to live in a way that brings out your potential for success.

Who do you work with?

I work with people who want to see improvements in their lives, with people who want someone who will hear them out and help them find a path that leads away from chaos, sadness, or stagnation, with people who are not satisfied with things as they are.

How is coaching different than therapy?

Coaching focuses on where you are now and where you want to go. We will talk about the past to understand what helped, what didn't, and how certain patterns developed, but we don't dwell there. The goal is clarity, direction, and forward movement to create a present and a future that feel steadier and more fulfilling. In some situations, spending extra time understanding past experiences can help explain how you arrived where you are, so you can move forward with greater confidence.
