Martina E. Faulkner has been called a Mystic for the modern age: part visionary and philosopher, part writer and teacher, and part healer and guide. Always writing, Martina has been sharing her inspirational prose for over a decade, while quietly writing poetry for herself, until now. This is Martina's first book of collected poems, delving into the very human experiences of love, loss, and hope. The theme of hope is prevalent throughout all of Martina's work and teachings. As an author, Martina uses words to teach, share, and express what it means to be both human and divine - what it means to have hope. Martina combines her experience and expertise (as a Certified Life Coach, Therapist, Reiki Master Teacher, and gifted Psychic/Intuitive) in new and innovative ways that serve to inspire others to create more meaningful and joy-filled lives. Martina currently resides in the Chicago area with her family and her dog. She enjoys being in nature or pursuing her other creative interests, such as photography, painting, and jewelry making.
