I’m so glad you’re here.

It takes awareness, exploration, implementation, practice, and courage to create a life you love. Glamorous, it is not. Brave, it is. My credibility as a coach doesn’t just come from my Master’s degree or my resume — it stems from my experiences as a former therapist, Mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and fellow human-er. I have the gift of perspective and wisdom from doing this work for a very long time. Know that I have your back and I’ll teach you to have yours too.

My name is Marta Brummell.

I provide exceptional attention and services to my coaching business. I extend my services to a limited number of private clients. Interested in working with me?

Let’s chat about this crazy adventure called life.

What Am I Doing Now?

If we want to flourish as humans, it helps to know HOW to human. We are thinking, feeling, and doing creatures. The Practice teaches simple and transformative tools to practice all three human fundamentals with consciousness and skill.

Are you ready? Let’s go!

By Marta Brummell

As a little person, I was a human sponge and learned how to adapt to my environment and my caretakers to create safety, closeness, enoughness, and belonging. I learned what got the connection, the hug, the smile, the “good job”, and I learned what created distance, disappointment, and upset. My little self recalibrated accordingly. I felt deeply, and I was very attuned to other people’s feelings and needs. This outward antennae became my superpower, but it also made me less attuned to what was true for me. Relationships were where I felt most seen and well-received, so I got really good at connecting with people. It felt good to be needed. Deep and real conversation was my happy place. People shared their vulnerabilities, their stories, and their hearts, and I made myself useful by listening and tending to them. This was food for my hungry soul. It felt meaningful and purposeful.

Fast forward to majoring in psychology at Notre Dame and studying Clinical Social Work, with an emphasis on Family Systems, at the University of Michigan for grad school. The pieces started to come together. I was hooked. I became a therapist, married my favorite human, Craig Brummell, became a Mom to four sweet humans, forayed into academic advising, fell in love with working with young adults, moved our family to Guatemala for a year, found life coaching, trained with the best in the business, and started my private coaching practice. I have never looked back.

For the past decade, I have worked with thousands of young adults, parents, and everyone in between to cultivate the best tools and practices to human authentically and skillfully.

While I have been able to reach many fabulous twenty-somethings and parents through my private practice, it has become abundantly clear I need to cast the net further - to expand the conversation to more young adults and parents and share the transformative tools to do this life differently. In light of that, I created The Practice of Being Human, an online membership community for the many messy and marvelous young adults and parents out there seeking to learn and practice living in a way that feels most true.

This is how it works: Members will receive weekly live group coaching calls, access to recordings and resources, trainings, live Q&A sessions, access to me, and a supportive community to walk alongside and riff on all things life.

Come join us to build this space and place, a touch point in your day-to-day, to get yourself back to center, hold you accountable to our daily practices, and cultivate relationships with others on this journey.

  • I wanted to reach out just to let you know what a profound impact you have made on my daughter. Her ability to express herself and share her feelings is nothing short of extraordinary, many thanks to you. I don’t know how she would have gotten through the trials and tribulations of this past year if you hadn’t been in her life. A HUGE thank you.

    Sarah (mother of high school student)

  • "Marta helped me recognize that my anxiety is a defense mechanism that is doing its job. Instead of fighting or avoiding the anxious thoughts, she taught me to accept them and thank my brain and body for their efforts to protect me."

  • I was so incredibly fortunate to encounter Marta my freshman year of college. She immediately met me with kindness and has helped me to grow academically and personally through life coaching. Compassion partnered with a sharp and knowledgeable mind makes Marta a powerful resource and intuitive coach. Our sessions are a safe space, and her presence is grounding and inspirational. I owe much of who I am and my successes today to the strong foundation Marta helped me to build.
