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.

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

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.

It helps you understand what might be driving your eating and guides you towards the programme that’s right for you, including support that tackles the psychological side of food.

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

📅 Group coaching starts 26th January 2026

A new year doesn’t automatically mean a calmer relationship with food.

You might still be:
Eating on autopilot.
Finishing meals without really tasting them.
Scrolling, rushing, or pushing through hunger cues.
Ending meals feeling heavy, uncomfortable, or frustrated with yourself.

That’s not a willpower issue.
It’s a disconnection issue.

Your body already knows what it needs.
Mindful eating is about learning to listen to your body again, gently, without pressure or rules. 💚

The January Mindful Eating Reset is a free 5-day challenge designed to help you:
🌿 Slow down and reconnect with your body
🍽 Feel calmer and more in control around food
🕯 Enjoy meals without guilt, distraction, or restriction

Each day, you’ll receive a simple, science-backed prompt to help you:
– Tune into your senses
– Pause before eating
– Notice fullness and satisfaction
– Build awareness without judgement

No diets.
No tracking.
No “fresh start” pressure.

Just a calmer way to begin the year.

I’ve officially completed my Mind Body Eating Coach qualification with the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.

From the very beginning of this training, I’ve been weaving these principles into my work, blending nutrition, psychology, and mind-body approaches to help people move beyond diets, willpower battles, and self-blame around food.

To now have this formal qualification feels meaningful.
Not because it changes how I work, but because it deepens and strengthens the way I already support my clients.

The training has given me clearer frameworks and more nuanced tools, which I’m already seeing make a real difference for people struggling with cravings, emotional eating, digestive symptoms, or ongoing stress around food.

For me, this isn’t just another certificate.
It reflects the way I believe change actually happens:
through understanding, compassion, and learning to work with your body, not against it.

Hello everyone,
January certainly started with a bang for me, and perhaps it did for you too. As the saying goes, start as you mean to go on, so I’m leaning into that energy and wanted to share a couple of things coming up over the next few weeks.

🌿🌿🌿Friday 16th January at 5pm
I’ll be running a free webinar on supporting yourself while on a weight-loss medication journey. This will be a practical, grounded session focused on what you can do right away, what challenges may arise, and how to navigate them thoughtfully. This is good whether your experience has been smooth so far or more complicated, the aim is to leave you with tools you can use immediately.

👉 Book your place here:

Next week, I’ll also be re-running the 🌿🌿🌿Mindful Eating Reset Challenge, a gentle 5-day challenge designed to help you begin the year with more awareness, consistency and enjoyment around food. It’s about noticing the small things, slowing down, and reconnecting with pleasure rather than pressure.

👉 Book your place here:
https://freedomfromcravings.co.uk/opt-ins/mindful-eating-reset-challenge

I’d love you to join me for either (or both).

You wake up already behind.
Your day is rushed, stressful, and full.
Meals are squeezed in, eaten quickly, or skipped altogether — until cravings take over.

Not because you lack willpower.
But because your body and mind are under constant pressure.

Digestive discomfort. 🤍
Low energy. 🔋
Mental overload. 🧠

These don’t sit separately from your eating.
They drive it.

If food feels functional, rushed, or reactive, there may be more going on than cravings alone.
And noticing that is often the first step towards change. 🌱
