Marta Crawford, herself, initially had ambitions to be an actor and joined an amateur group in Olivais in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, later performing, at the age of 18, in Lisbon with the A Barraca theatre group, and subsequently touring with the group in Brazil, Cape Verde and Spain. She then obtained a degree in clinical psychology, from the Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada (Higher Institute of Applied Psychology - ISPA), in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon and then went on to study clinical sexology at the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias (Lusophone University of Humanities and Technologies). She is a sex therapist accredited by the Portuguese Society of Clinical Sexology and a family therapist accredited by the Portuguese Society of Family Therapy (SPTF). She has been a member of the SPTF Board since 2011.[1][2]
