About Martin
I work at the intersection of organisational psychology, psychodynamic understanding, somatic work, and ecological awareness. The approach builds on current neuroscience and older wisdom traditions.
Over the years, I have worked with numerous individuals and teams within leadership and organisational development, and I have been central to launching and sustaining environmental and cultural movements in Norway. My master’s research in organisational psychology focused on the somatic and relational roots of ecocentric identity and leadership.
For thirty years, I have maintained a close relationship with nature and studied psychology increasingly. For just as long, I have worked as a children's magician. My life turns around perception, wonder, and seeing beneath the surface of things.
I have personally traversed deep personal and systemic transformation. I know in my very body what it means to lose all familiar ground, and what is required to return—more spacious and resilient.
The Place
The work happens from a home office and a small forest I tend, on a 600-year-old farm on Nesodden, south of Oslo.
Nature here is an active participant. The forest, the fjord, the wildlife and the shifting light through the trees are trusted colleagues. The nervous system recognises this kind of ground, settles into it, and begins to remember a relationship to living presence that everyday life often obscures.
The more-than-human world has its own way of moving what nothing else reaches.
Online work is available where distance or context requires it.
Contact
Every process begins with a short written enquiry. Tell me a little about your situation and what you are looking for.
I take on a small number of clients and groups at a time, and usually reply within 48 hours.
