Nereyda Martinez is an oral storyteller, somatic guide, and co-steward of The Healing Tree Collective in Tempe, Arizona. As co-host of The Collective Voice, Nereyda brings a soft but powerful presence.. inviting people into deeper honesty with themselves, their bodies, and their stories.

Through her Ishtara body-based practice and somatic healing work with women, Nereyda helps people reconnect to the parts of themselves they’ve been taught to hide: their emotions, their voice, their sensuality, their truth. Her work is rooted in movement, music, nervous system regulation, and the belief that the body remembers what the mind tries to forget and that we can rewrite our stories from the inside out.

On the podcast, Nereyda holds space for nuanced, tender conversations about self-worth, intimacy, motherhood, trauma, and the ongoing process of coming home to the body. She speaks from lived experience, not theory.. sharing her own journey through grief, shame, healing, and reclaiming her voice as a woman, mother, and leader. With every episode, Nereyda’s intention is the same: to help listeners feel less alone, more seen, and more empowered to live as their truest selves.
