Begoña Martínez

Certified Professional Co-Active Coach. Mindfulness & Resilience Instructor. 25 years of Buddhist practice.

Begona Martinez Gorriz is an executive coach, leadership development facilitator, and contemplative psychotherapist who supports leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations in cultivating resilient, human-centered leadership in times of complexity and change.

With a unique approach that integrates mindfulness, polyvagal-informed methods, nervous system regulation, and deep transformational coaching, she helps individuals and teams build clarity, emotional intelligence, authentic presence, and sustainable performance.

Begona has worked with global organizations, multinational companies, and executive leaders across sectors including technology, healthcare, finance, and education. She also led the development of health, well-being, and leadership initiatives at the World Economic Forum, where she helped integrate mindfulness and human flourishing into conversations on leadership and organizational culture.

Method

Co-Active Coaching — a relationally grounded, evidence-based methodology for clarity and aligned action.

Mindfulness & contemplative practice — twenty-five years of training that brings presence, spaciousness, and emotional balance into the room.

Polyvagal-informed nervous-system tools — practical regulation techniques that help the body settle so deeper change can land.

My Journey

I’ve experienced transitions firsthand — across countries, careers, and identities. From leaving Spain to discovering meditation and Buddhism in Scotland, to working internationally in banking, tourism, and at the World Economic Forum, where I contributed to bringing mindfulness into leadership, working hand in hand with thought leaders such as Richard Davidson or Jon Kabat-Zin.

Later, I led the transformation of a struggling mindfulness center into a thriving and sustainable space for growth and learning.

Along the way, I trained as a coach, mindfulness and resilience trainer, and contemplative therapist — working with leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations across Europe.

These experiences shaped a simple truth: life is always evolving. And every transition is an invitation to grow, realign, and lead from a deeper place.

This is the essence of InTransition Coaching.
