Where systems find their own way.
Facilitation and accompaniment for individuals, therapists, organisations, institutions, movements, and leadership teams, where what is already alive is given room to organise itself.
Update
I am currently in a dedicated period of integration, fully anchoring the very principles and somatically grounded realities that inform my practice. Consequently, I am not taking on any clients, consultations, or organizational engagements at this time. The container is temporarily closed to allow for full focus and rest.
Martin J. Reinholtz
I work at the intersection of organisational, psychodynamic, somatic, and ecological psychology, drawing on 15 years of practice. My approach is grounded in the latest neuroscientific research and seamlessly bridged by traditional wisdom. As a consultant, practitioner, and supervisor, I accompany individuals navigating genuine life thresholds, support therapists, and facilitate development for leaders, communities, and organisations across all scales.
In my practice, there is no pressure or rigid technique. Instead, the focus is on creating the exact conditions for the body and the mind to rediscover their own natural rhythm and capacity, with a sturdy foundation.
This also extends to those who have completed intensive therapeutic processes but still seek structural grounding and a lasting sense of alignment. Whether working with individuals, leaders, or organizational systems, the underlying principles remain the same.
I wrote my Master’s degree in Psychology, where my research focused on the embodied roots of ecocentric identity and leadership. Amongst other activities I have spent two decade developing expertise within contemporary leadership and organizational development, and sparking and supporting some of the most significant environmental and cultural movements in Norway. Alongside this, I have maintained a dedicated practice in nature for thirty years, and equally as long as a children’s magician. The magician is not unrelated to the rest. It is about perception, wonder, and seeing beneath the surface of things.
Having personally navigated deep thresholds of psychological and systemic transformation, I know firsthand what it means to lose all familiar ground, and what it takes to return more expansive and resilient. This lived experience fuels my lifelong fascination with living human and ecological systems: how they self-organize, how they get stuck in rigid patterns, and how they surprisingly find their way back to life. It is this understanding that guides my work in transforming ecological grief into connected empowerment, a process often facilitated in groups and immersive nature settings over extended timeframes.
Normally, I have the honor of working from a small forest that I care for as a custodian on a 600-year-old farm on Nesodden, just south of Oslo. Here, nature is not a passive backdrop but an active participant. The forest, the fjord down the hill, the local wildlife, and the shifting quality of light through the trees are trusted co-workers. Other locations and online consultations are available.
Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction. Your journey is yours, and I look forward to meeting you there.

Individual accompaniment
I walk with people through genuine descents, and through the slow, often disorienting work of finding ground again on the other side. This includes working through what the body has carried for a long time, perhaps so long it has begun to feel like who you are.
Together, we navigate the aftereffects of experiences – whether relational, communal, inherited, or ecological – that have shaped the nervous system and have not yet found their completion. The focus is on the gradual recognition of something that was always there, but never had the room to exist.
Sensing Leadership
Depth as the Foundation of Organisational Health
I work with executives and leadership teams who sense that something more fundamental is in movement – within themselves, their organisations, and the wider systems they are part of. This work addresses the somatic reality of leadership, the relational dynamics between people, and the quality of attention a leader brings into a room, a decision, and moments of genuine not-knowing.
For organisations recognizing that a deeper shift is required toward ways of working that are more alive, honest, and interconnected, I facilitate developmental processes that begin where conventional training models do not reach. Drawing on organisational psychology and systemic design, the focus is on building the capacity to navigate complexity from a grounded, integrated presence.
Much of this work takes place in natural settings, allowing leadership teams to engage directly with living systems rather than mere conceptual representations of them.
Ecological Grief & Reconnection
For Those Who Carry the Weight of the World
I facilitate this work primarily in groups within immersive nature settings, where the ecosystem itself helps the nervous system settle and a wider awareness can become available. Sessions are held as a contained process over at least three days. This timeframe allows for genuine contact with one another, a deeper connection to the landscape, somatic depth, and the kind of reflection that only arises when things slow down enough to be truly felt.
The work draws on somatic approaches to grief and activation, the relational field that forms when people gather with clear intention, and the more-than-human world as an active participant in the process.
This practice is informed by the Work That Reconnects, the framework developed by Joanna Macy for meeting ecological grief and finding renewed connection to life. It serves as one foundational thread among several in my approach towards restoring neurobiological resonans with the ecosystems we relay on.
Over many years of facilitating this process, I have found that ecological grief rarely remains solely ecological. Underneath the rage and sorrow for the world, there is almost always something more personal. And underneath that personal layer, almost always, lies something that is not grief at all.
The work moves directly toward that.
The Place
Nature as participant, not setting
The work takes place primarily from a small forest setting on Nesodden, south of Oslo.
Something in the nervous system recognises this kind of ground. Settles into it. Begins to remember a relationship with living presence that most of everyday life obscures.
This is not metaphor. The more-than-human world has its own way of moving what nothing else can reach — and that is part of what this work draws on.
For individuals, the setting offers a quality of ground that supports what is difficult to find indoors. For leadership groups and organisations, there is its own logic in beginning the work of reconnection somewhere that is genuinely alive.
Online work is available where distance or context requires it.

Deep Time Walk
A guided walking immersion where ecological time—past, present, and future—is experienced scientifically, emotionally and bodily. In relation with nature, participants practice sensing, and reconnecting through the lens of geological time. Through storytelling the journey becomes alive with each step taken representing one million years.
The Systems Game (as part of the walk)
A simple, nonverbal movement practice where participants keep equal distance between two others. In that constrained field, the group discovers how a self-organising system emerges—quietly, in movement, moment by moment.
Contact
To protect the depth of the work and maintain a dedicated container for those I accompany, I do not offer short-term symptomatic therapy or automated bookings. All engagements begin with a deliberate, non-committal written inquiry.
I take on a strictly limited number of individual clients and leadership teams at any given time to ensure that my presence remains uncompromised and fully integrated.
