After losing his parents, Gilbert Martina worried that his father’s collective wisdom from his Curaçao ancestors and his mother’s spiritual guidance were forever lost. Instead, he received clear instructions: he needed to carry their legacy into the world.

Healthy Minds, Healthy Nation is a deeply personal portrait of one man’s search for solace while maintaining his health and moral integrity. It is a homecoming for everyone who feels they do not fit in and who longs to find true acceptance and understanding.

Healthy Minds, Healthy Nation introduces transcendental meditation and shamanism to transform your consciousness. It emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and personal growth, even in moments filled with physical pain and suffering. It encourages you to use your light to heal yourself and to be a lightworker to change the world.

Gilbert carries forward the spirit of the Caribbean in all he does, rooted in community, cultural pride, and ancestral wisdom. Educated in the Netherlands, he holds master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of Amsterdam and Business Administration from Webster University in Leiden. Before dedicating his life to teaching and healing, Gilbert led one of the Caribbean’s most significant healthcare projects as CEO of the Curaçao Medical Center, overseeing its successful opening in November 2019 and its response during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, Gilbert’s work stands at the intersection of science, spirituality, and leadership. Through his upcoming book, Healthy Minds – Healthy Nation, and the creation of the Blenchi Sanctuary, he continues to inspire a global audience to move “from individual pain to collective healing.”

He is married to his Queen, Chantal Martina Seferina, and together they are the proud parents of five children Jairzinho, Jorzinho, Aimee, Antoine, and Angele each a living reminder of the legacy of love, purpose, and community that guides their family.
