Martha S. Bache-Wiig

has a background in humanistic and integrative psychology and obtained her counseling license in Italy, where she lived for 24 years.

She is specialized in Existential Personalistic Anthropology, an approach developed by Prof. Antonio Mercurio at the Sophia University of Rome in Rome, Italy, and in the Institutes affiliated to this organization throughout Italy, in other European countries and in Russia.

She is highly experienced and gifted in the specific field of Relationship Counseling, where she applies her unique synthesis of theory and practical suggestions to help people obtain tangible improvements in their lives and their relationships.

She is also a musician, a Certified Pranic Healer and a seasoned Astrologer, and she integrates her profound understanding of the subtle energies that underlie all of Life in  her work with her clients. Her daily spiritual practice incorporates pearls from many different traditions and honors all pathways to connectedness. She also teaches meditation and guided visualization techniques.

The Center for the Development of the Person LLC, which she founded in 2009, is the first Center affiliated to the Sophia University of Rome to open in the United States. Its mission is to offer private counseling, healing and educational services to help people transform emotional, psychological and spiritual trauma into ever increasing freedom to enjoy creative and fulfilling lives.

Her gifts as a Counselor and an Anthropo-Astrologist, the approach to astrology that she has developed over the last 20 years, have touched and enriched the lives of many, both in Italy and the Milwaukee area, where she returned to live in 2006.

She is currently training to become a Guide in Living Your Design, and incorporates her understanding of the Human Design System in her work with her clients, as it offers some immediately applicable and practical suggestions to help people align more quickly and effectively with who they are as individuals, so they can better interact with and contribute to the whole of which they are a part.
