Hi,
I'm Martina Opava
I believe there is always more within us than we can see.
I’m an entrepreneur, coach, author, mother and philanthropist. Throughout my life, I have been driven by a simple question: What becomes possible when we truly connect with our own strength, energy and potential? My own journey has taken me through entrepreneurship, motherhood, personal challenges, charity work and countless moments of learning and transformation. Today, I bring all of these experiences together to help people create more meaningful, conscious and fulfilling lives.
My Story
From a small town to a life without limits
I grew up in a small town on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland. From an early age, I felt that there was something bigger waiting for me beyond the place I called home. I was ambitious, curious and eager to explore the world.
I travelled, experienced different cultures and eventually returned to Prague, where I founded my first business in 2003. Building a company taught me about courage, responsibility and the importance of believing in an idea before anyone else does.
Then life changed.
I became a mother to two wonderful children, lost my business and faced one of the most difficult chapters of my life when my husband was diagnosed with cancer in 2015.
What initially felt like a series of devastating events became a profound turning point. I discovered strength I didn’t know I had and began looking at life, relationships, motherhood and personal potential in a completely different way.
That experience became the foundation for the work I do today.
Daily Energy
Turning life experience into a mission

After everything I had experienced, I knew I wanted to create something that could help other people navigate their own challenges with greater strength, awareness and confidence. That is how Daily Energy was born.
Today, through coaching, mentoring and education, I help people reconnect with their inner energy, recognize their strengths and discover the potential that is often hidden beneath everyday expectations, fears and limiting beliefs.
My work is not about becoming someone else. It is about coming back to who you truly are.
Soul Clearing
A ritual born from motherhood
When my children were born, I made a promise to myself: to become the best mother I could possibly be.
I studied sociology, psychology, mental health and identity development. I explored Montessori and countless parenting approaches, searching for ways to create a relationship with my children based on trust, love and acceptance. And yet, despite everything I knew, I sometimes found myself using exactly the parenting tools I had promised myself I never would. I realized that knowledge alone was not enough. I needed something deeper.
So in 2015, I created Soul Clearing – a simple but powerful evening ritual designed to help parents and children reconnect emotionally, clear away the tensions of the day and strengthen their bond. What started as a personal ritual in our family became an important part of my work with parents and children around the world.
From one family’s evening ritual to a method shared with others.
Anglo-American University
Connecting people and creating meaningful communities
I serve as the President of the Alumni Council at Anglo-American University (AAU), where I help strengthen connections across the university’s international alumni community and contribute to the continued development of its alumni network. Being part of such a diverse and international community allows me to bring together something I have always valued deeply: people, ideas and meaningful connections. In this role, I continue to support a community I am proud to be part of and to create opportunities for people to connect, collaborate and make a positive impact.
Life in a Suitcase
When gratitude became a purpose
In the same year that my husband was diagnosed with cancer, I made a promise to give something back to life if he recovered. He did.
And that promise became the beginning of my charitable work.
I founded an NGO in the Czech Republic dedicated to supporting abandoned newborns and created Life in a Suitcase, a project providing care and practical support for babies who begin their lives without the security of a loving family.
For me, this project is deeply personal. Every child deserves to enter the world surrounded by dignity, care and the feeling that they matter.
European Parliament Award
My charitable work and the Life in a Suitcase project were recognized with a prestigious European Parliament Award.
This recognition is one of the most meaningful milestones of my journey. Not because of the award itself, but because it brought attention to an issue that is very close to my heart – the needs of the most vulnerable children at the very beginning of their lives.
Books
Sharing ideas, stories and perspectives
Writing has always been another way for me to connect with people.
Through my books, I share stories, ideas and reflections on life, relationships, personal growth and the human experience.
I am an Amazon bestselling author of:
ONE
Lady X
#StayHome
Each book explores a different part of life, but they all share the same intention: to make the reader pause, feel, question and perhaps see something from a new perspective.

The Journey Continues
I don’t believe we are meant to have everything figured out.
Life has taught me that the most unexpected chapters can become the ones that shape us the most.
The loss of my business.
Motherhood.
My husband’s illness.
Starting again.
Creating a charity.
Building a new business.
Writing books.
Meeting thousands of people and hearing their stories.
Each experience has brought me closer to the same belief: There is always more within us than we realize. And sometimes, all we need is the courage, support and space to discover it.
