Martina is a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Mind-Body Eating Coach with ten years' experience in the nutrition field. She combines nutritional science with a real understanding of behaviour, psychology and everyday life, because good nutrition has to actually work for the person living it, not just look good on paper.
Martina sees clients with a wide range of concerns, but she's particularly experienced with digestive health, fatigue and low energy, complex or persistent symptoms, cravings, and difficult relationships with food. She rarely looks at a symptom in isolation. Instead, she takes the time to build the wider picture (nutrition, digestion, blood sugar, lifestyle, stress, sleep, health history) and the patterns that tend to keep someone stuck.
Alongside her clinical work, Martina spent three years at Genova Diagnostics as a Clinical Education Specialist, helping practitioners understand and apply functional lab testing in practice. She's now in her third year teaching nutrition and biomedicine at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM), where she also supports students as they build their own clinical skills. Both roles have reinforced something she already believed: that it's rarely useful to look at a single symptom or test result in isolation, it's how the different pieces fit together that actually matters.
Her background in psychology, alongside her nutritional therapy training, means she's genuinely interested in where biology and behaviour meet. Knowing what to eat and actually being able to do it are two very different things, and she's seen firsthand how stress, emotion, habit, environment and years of "should" and "shouldn't" messaging shape the way people eat.
That's part of why her work isn't built around restriction, perfection, or handing someone a long list of things to overhaul. She works with clients to understand what's really driving their symptoms or eating patterns, then narrows in on changes that are both clinically meaningful and actually doable.
Meeting people where they are matters a lot to Martina. A nutritionally perfect plan means very little to someone with fatigue if they don't have the energy to make it. And for someone already fighting cravings or constant food thoughts, more rules can just mean another battle. So her recommendations are built around the person, their health, their capacity, their actual life.
She's warm, curious and practical in how she works. Where it's useful, she draws on functional testing and works alongside other healthcare professionals to build a clearer clinical picture. Just as importantly, she wants clients to understand the why behind what they're experiencing, and to feel like an active part of the decisions being made about their own health.
At the end of the day, Martina isn't trying to create dependence on a practitioner or a "perfect" diet. She wants people to understand their bodies better, trust the choices they're making, and land on an approach to food and health they can genuinely live with.
