About

     The Untamed Shaman • Author • Keeper of Living Wisdom

     Born Martine de Petter on 24 June 1953 in the university town of Leuven, Belgium, Martine spent the first forty years of her life following a conventional path.
She studied, built a career in Telemarketing, Marketing and Logistics Consultancy, and achieved what, from the outside, appeared to be a successful professional life.
Yet something was missing.

     At forty, she made a radical choice: she left her career, sold what she owned in Belgium and moved to Ibiza to begin a completely different life.

     What followed was not a search for another identity, but a profound transformation of the woman she already was.  She immersed herself in Martial Arts, the Philosophy of Tao, Qi Gong and Traditional and Classical Chinese Medicine. Her studies eventually led her to become a Master and Grandmaster in Tao and Qi Gong, a 3rd Dan Black Belt in Karate, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, graduating from Shanghai University in China, and a Specialist in Morphological Blood Analysis and Cellular Therapy.

     She is a member of SAC, Societat d’Acupuntors de Catalunya, and PEFOTS, the Pan-European Federation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Societies.

     But her qualifications tell only part of the story.  The deeper work has always been about living what she knows.

     In 2020, Martine Ahavah became an International Bestseller Author with One — Your Wellness Guide to Body, Mind and Soul, written in collaboration with 21 international experts in health and wellness.

     That same year, she published her first solo book, Ahavah — A Woman Rising to a New Dawn, an autobiographical account of the experiences, emotions and inner transformation that led her to embrace the energy and frequency of the Hebrew name she had chosen for herself:
Ahavah — Love.

     In 2023 came Ahavah — The Keeper of the Keys, a book of Love, Rites and inner sovereignty, offering the keys that helped her become her own Keeper and uncover the treasures hidden within the Soul.

     Her writing then expanded into Ahavah Soul Kitchen, a two-book exploration of Conscious Cooking, Eating and Living — bringing together the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, Energy Alchemy and Green Medicine.
Published in September 2025, the two volumes are:
Ahavah Soul Kitchen — Conscious Cooking, Eating and Living with Energy Alchemy
and
Ahavah Soul Kitchen — Conscious Cooking, Eating and Living with Green Medicine.

     In 2026, another threshold opened with Ahavah — The Untamed Woman Who Walks with Spirit.
This book is not a theory of authenticity, spirituality or freedom.
It is the expression of a woman who has lived the territory.
And this is where the name Ahavah has become more than an author name.
It has become a way of living.

     Today, under the name of Ahavah, Martine brings together her experience of the body, energy, nature, spirit and lived transformation through her books, her practice and Ahavah Energy Circle.  At its heart is a simple question:

What happens when we stop trying to become someone else — and begin living as the person we were born to be?

This is the territory of the Ahavah Path.
Not a doctrine.
Not a belief system.
Not a performance.
A way of coming home to Life.

In Love, Light and Liberty. ✨💚✨
