Martha B. Marshall
M.A., LPC, owner of Wild Basin Wellness, and Founder of 5NP Texas training organization
Martha Marshall is a licensed counselor for individuals and couples who want to improve their sense of wellbeing and relationship skill. In addition to talk therapy in an office, her creative approach to change might include nature as a co-therapist: a walk outdoors under the oaks, or even a paddle boarding session on an Austin lake to help get in touch with the deeper, inner-knowing and strength we all forget sometimes. Her goal with clients is their return to balance, a new perspective, and a welcoming of their whole, wise soul. Martha teaches about the mind-body connection, mindful self-compassion, and functional family dynamics. Martha leads outdoor experiences for groups, such as first responders, military, and medical frontline workers, often with Operation Get Out. She is NOLS Wilderness First Aid certified. Martha is an Acudetox Specialist licensed by the Texas Medical Board to treat stress, trauma and addictions with ear acupuncture using the 5-needle protocol.
