Markéta is a psychosomatic therapist and a tireless advocate for the body-mind unity approach and the wisdom of compassion in healing. As a therapist, she primarily works with the Compassionate Inquiry approach, as it effectively uncovers the roots of problems and can lead to rapid and transformative shifts.

Originally a journalist and political scientist, her own healing journey from depression and addiction led her to the work of Gabor Maté. His profound insight, compassion, self-disclosure and understanding of the challenges humans face in today's toxic culture resonate deeply with her. She has had the honor of welcoming Gabor Maté to Prague twice and is at the core of connecting Czech and Slovak members of Compassionate Inquiry.

Through her previous work as a journalist and election observer, which took her to many countries on almost every continent, she has come to understand that what manifests in individuals, as well as in social and political processes, is so often trauma—be it individual, collective, transgenerational, or historical.
