about martha

Author. Speaker. Wayfinder.
I grew up wanting to be an ecologist or a professor. However, after bearing three children and earning three Harvard degrees at the same time, I decided I’d rather just lie down for a few decades. During that time I became an author and life coach. I’ve written a number of books and more magazine articles than I can count (math not being my strong suit). My most recent book, The Way of Integrity, was an instant New York Times Best Seller.
As president of my company, Martha Beck, Inc., I continue to speak around the world, as well as offer virtual teleclasses and in-person workshops a few times a year. I also train life coaches worldwide through my Wayfinder Life Coach Training program.
All my work is dedicated to freeing all beings from suffering. This requires a commitment to valuing all humans as equally and infinitely precious. Integrity, compassion, inclusion, antiracism, and the preservation of our planet are my primary values in all that I do.
