Media & Speaking
For therapists, coaches, healers and magical practitioners who live between worlds.
Martin Rothery is the creator of the Nine Realms – a full architecture of human change that integrates trauma work, identity, emotions and what most people would quietly call “magic”.
Over 40 years, he has developed Sanomentology and a nine-Realm training path used by therapists, coaches and practitioners who are:
- too deep for Instagram therapy,
- too sane for full-woo chaos,
- and too experienced to believe one technique fixes everything.
Martin is available for:
- podcast interviews
- livestreams and YouTube shows
- TV, radio and online radio
- in-depth conversations with serious practitioners and curious mages
If your audience lives anywhere between therapy, trauma, spirituality and magic, they will feel at home in this conversation.
Meet Martin Rothery
Martin Rothery is a British therapist and creator of the Nine Realms – a deep architecture for changework that brings together clinical reality, psychological reality, mythic reality and magical reality without turning it into circus.
He is the founder of Sanomentology, a healing methodology used by practitioners around the world to work with pain, trauma, identity collapse and non-ordinary experiences.
Martin has spent over four decades:
- resolving his own trauma (“client zero”),
- working with clients,
- studying magical and mystical traditions,
- and building a coherent system that can hold everything from simple phobias to full-blown spiritual emergencies.
Today, he trains therapists, coaches, healers and magical practitioners who want more than scripts and protocols – they want a map.
He speaks with clarity, humour and respect for both scepticism and strangeness.
Topics I Can Speak On
Why “one technique fixes everything” is theatre, not change-work
- How one-size-fits-all methods fail real clients
- The difference between tools and architecture
- Mapping complex clients across different Realms (layers of reality)
- Why this matters ethically as well as practically
Therapy & magic – what serious practitioners can learn without losing their licence
- How modern methods quietly stole from voodoo, hoodoo, hermeticism and chaos magic
- Why pretending we’re not doing “magic” makes the work less safe
- Ways to integrate magic, psi and synchronicity into changework without going full-woo
- Case examples of “impossible” outcomes and how to think about them
The Nine Realms – a map for people who live between trauma, therapy and magic
- The 9-Realm architecture in plain language
- Why trauma, identity, emotion and magic all need different rooms in the same building
- How practitioners can stop guessing and start locating the Realm they’re in
- Stories from the Healing, Transformational and Potentiality Realms
Identity, archetypes & the 13th pattern – the God Seed
- Why archetypal work exploded (and often got watered down) online
- The limits of the classic 12-archetype grids
- What Martin calls the God Seed – the 13th archetype that doesn’t fit the boxes
- How this changes identity work in practice
Practitioners as instruments – structure, shadow and scope
- Why two practitioners can use the same technique with very different outcomes
- How practitioner trauma, identity and shadow shape sessions
- Ethics, scope and responsibility when you work with deep or “weird” phenomena
- What the Practitioner Realm asks of us
Sample Interview Questions
These are suggestions only. I’m happy to tailor topics and questions for your audience.
Questions list:
- For listeners who’ve never heard of you before – what are the Nine Realms, in simple terms?
- You talk a lot about “architecture” instead of “techniques”. What do you mean by that, and why does it matter?
- Why do you think the self-help and therapy world became so obsessed with single techniques and protocols? What’s the danger in that?
- You openly connect therapy and magic. How did you get there, and what do you say to people who are sceptical or nervous about that language?
- Can you share a story where a conventional approach failed, but working across multiple Realms made the difference?
- You mention a 13th archetype – the God Seed. What is that, and how does it show up in real clients?
- What are some of the most common ways practitioners unintentionally limit or sabotage their own work?
- If someone listening is a therapist or coach who feels they “don’t fit” in either clinical or spiritual boxes, how can they start to explore this architecture without blowing up their current practice?
- How do you think we should be talking about “miracles” or “impossible” results in a way that’s honest and responsible?
- Where can people find out more, and what’s a good first step for listeners who resonate with this?
