Martina Rutledge
Writer, Life Coach, and Consultant in Portland, Oregon
Hi! I'm Martina. I am a teacher, writer and guide who creates mentoring programs that use the magic of fairy tale and folklore to help women find their path of purpose, vanquish the big bad wolf of fear, connect to their sacred voices, and even start heart-led businesses of their own. These programs are a healing journey into the ancient wisdom of fairy tale and folklore as passed down to us through our ancestors.
Fairy tales and folk stories have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was a child, my German grandmother would tell me the stories she had learned at her own grandmother's feet. I loved these tales so much that I later earned an MA in German literature with an emphasis on fairy tale, constructions of femininity and the telling of women's stories. My approach to fairy tale healing combines this foundation with earth medicine, music, the teachings of the Druid Bardic tradition, and energy healing.
In my free time, I share my fairy tale cottage in the beautiful Pacific NW with rescued dogs, cats and a garden filled with wildlife and trees. My interests include writing, music, travel, learning, singing, tarot, gemstones, aromatherapy, studying different spiritual paths, and, of course, reading fairy tales.
