Freedom from cravings, bloating + burnout, without diets or guilt 🍃

Hello, I am Martina and I am a passionate believer in the body's ability to heal itself, if given the right tools. From early years I watched her grandmother as she tended to her allotment and cooked with home grown fruit and vegetables and prepared tea and ointments from herbs grown in her garden. Growing up in the Czech republic on a small holding meant that most of my spare time was spent tending to the vegetable patch or the animals. This meant that I learned first hand not only that it's hard work but also that the benefits greatly outweigh the work. Daily meals were prepared using vegetables grown in the garden; where we also grew vegetables and grains used to feed the animals. Cooking with my mother and father were favorite past times (especially around Christmas time). It was these special moments that prompted me to study cookery in Melbourne Australia, where I gained certificate in Cookery. This was however, only part of my dream and after moving to Britain I became very interested in the nutritional benefits of specific foods. With the rising amount of convenience foods, crash diets and sugar consumption it was clear to me that many health complaints could be resolved by wholesome and nutritionally rich diet. I studied at the prestigious College of Naturopathic Medicine where I gained qualification as Nutritional therapist. I am a fully insured member of British Association of Nutritional Therapists (BANT) and Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). If any of the below apply to you, you would benefit from Nutritional therapy session with me:
- I crave sugary foods
- My energy dips in the afternoons
- My mood changes regularly
- I wake up tired
- I don't have the energy to exercise
- I want to lose weight
- I have thyroid problems
- I have eczema
- I suffer from asthma
- I suffer from bloating
- I have IBS
- I have a bad skin
- I'm hungry all the time
- I often can not sleep

If you’ve tried plans, programmes, or “starting again” more times than you can count, it’s easy to assume you’re the problem.
You’re not.

Often, it’s simply that you haven’t been met where you are.

Whether you’re dealing with cravings, emotional eating, gut issues, or that constant mental noise around food, the Freedom Quiz helps you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface, without labels, judgement, or food rules.

It’s a gentle starting point.
A way to gain clarity.
And a way to find the programme that fits your needs, your struggles, and your life.

No guessing.
No forcing yourself into the wrong solution.

Just support that actually makes sense for you.

Our first topic:
From control to cooperation
A new way to understand food and the body.

If dieting, discipline, and “trying harder” haven’t brought peace with food, this session is for you.
We’ll explore why control often backfires, and what works instead.

🗓 20th February, 5pm
More details and a page on our site will be coming very soon.

You don’t need to earn it.
You don’t need to make up for it.
And you definitely don’t need to “be good” tomorrow.

Pancakes aren’t the problem.
Food rules are.

You’re allowed to enjoy food without guilt.
That’s freedom

It responds to stress, speed, and season.

Emotional tension can slow digestion.

Rushed meals can disrupt gut rhythm.

Winter comfort eating can shift the microbiome.

Bloating isn’t a failure.

It’s feedback.

Your gut is asking for safety, steadiness, and support, not stricter rules.

They’re a physiological response.

When your energy crashes, your body isn’t lazy or unmotivated.

It’s communicating.

Blood sugar swings, stress hormones, poor sleep, or under-fuelling can all drain energy fast, especially when your system doesn’t feel safe or supported.

This isn’t about discipline.

It’s about regulation.

Support your body, and energy follows.

Blame it, and the signals get louder.

You’re not broken.

You’re responding exactly as a human body does under strain.

Lower daylight, disrupted sleep rhythms, and stress can shift serotonin and cortisol, making cravings louder, digestion slower, and energy harder to find.

This isn’t willpower.
It’s physiology.

Supporting stable blood sugar, balanced meals, and gentle movement helps steady hormones and soften cravings.

Nothing is wrong with you.
Your body is adapting.

Cravings are often blamed on hunger, but that is not always the case.

This video highlights three common signs that your cravings may be driven by factors other than hunger, such as habits, emotions, or energy dips.

Understanding the difference is an important step towards changing your relationship with food in a calmer, more supportive way.

Hello to new and existing visitors to this page, I’m Martina. Let me introduce myself a little bit so you know a bit more about me.

I work as a nutritional therapist and mind-body eating coach, and I spend most of my time supporting people who feel tired of fighting their bodies. This could shows up as low energy that never quite lifts, digestion that feels unpredictable, or food choices that feel emotionally loaded rather than truly supportive.

What I see again and again is that many people already know what they “should” be doing, but something still isn’t working. Actually sometimes their digestion gets worse with better food choices.

Oftentimes it's about understanding what the body has been trying to communicate through symptoms like cravings, bloating, fatigue or tension around food and this is where I come in.

My work sits in the space between nutrition, physiology and the nervous system. I’m interested in how stress, life experience and day-to-day demands shape digestion, energy and appetite, and how we can support those systems gently rather than pushing them harder.

My role isn’t to tell you what to eat and walk away. It’s to help you understand why your body is responding the way it is, and how nutrition, digestion, energy and the nervous system are all connected.

When those pieces start to make sense, change tends to feel calmer, more achievable, and far less confrontational.

For many clients, that shift alone brings a sense of relief, like they are finally feeling what it's like to be listened to by their own body rather than at odds with it.

If something I’ve shared resonates, I’d love to connect

𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁-𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗲.
It can quiet cravings.
It can help the body move towards a goal.

And still… you might feel awful inside.

Flat.
Anxious.
Disconnected from food, or from yourself.

That doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful.
And it doesn’t mean the medication isn’t “working”.

It means medication is doing what it’s designed to do:
Support the physical side of eating.

But eating is never just physical.

Medication doesn’t automatically ease stress.
It doesn’t untangle emotional patterns with food.
It doesn’t rebuild trust with your body or quiet the mental noise that’s been there for years.

So while the scales might be moving, you can still feel tense, restricted, or stuck in your head around food.

That’s not failure.
It’s a sign that the psychological side needs support too. 🌱

Lasting freedom comes from understanding what drives your eating, stress, habits, beliefs, and your relationship with food, not just changing what or how much you eat.

You deserve support that looks after your body and your mind. 💚
Because real change isn’t just about weight loss.
It’s about feeling calmer, more confident, and at peace around food again.

You’ll be part of a small, supportive group of people who genuinely get it.
People who understand cravings, energy dips, self-doubt, and the quiet frustration of trying to hold it all together on your own.

This isn’t about comparison or competition.
There’s no pressure to be “good” or get it right.

It’s about:
– Connection instead of isolation
– Accountability that feels supportive, not punishing
– Being seen, heard, and encouraged,especially on the hard days

As you move through the programme, many people begin to notice real shifts:
Feeling calmer and more grounded around food
Letting go of guilt and building quiet confidence
Replacing loneliness with shared understanding
Creating habits that feel realistic and sustainable

By the end, it’s not just about knowing what to do.
It’s about trusting yourself more.
Feeling steadier around food.
And knowing you’re not doing this alone.

What’s included:
– 7+ hours of expert content across 9 core modules
– Bi-weekly live Zoom sessions with Martina for guidance, support, and troubleshooting
– A small group format (max 10 people), so everyone has space to be heard
