Martina Cowen Nutritional Therapy

Martina Cowen Nutritional Therapy I help women to take control over their snacking habits by rewiring their beliefs and habits.

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 tendi

ng 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:

Here is a little exercise for you today...
🚀 Your Future Self is Cheering for You! 🚀

Yes, just think about what would the successful ex-snacker from the future tell your current self.

Close your eyes and picture the version of you who feels free from cravings. The one who enjoys food with joy, pleasure, and zero guilt.

⭐What would your future self do differently?
⭐How does your future-you talk to themselves?
⭐What choices does your future-you make with ease?

I'd love to hear what your future self would thank you for doing TODAY.

This summer I saw a similar macrame Tree of Life in France on holidays and I fell in love with it.

The price was high, so I thought to myself that I can make it myself - surely how difficult can it be?

If you know me, you know that I'll try my hand at any craft, so this was simply another project.

It was an interesting experience completing this project - it took far longer then I thought it would.

I got inspired, motivated and excited to do this, followed by bored, disgruntled with the slow progress and unmotivated to continue.

However, I persevered, slowly, literally doing one leaf at a time, then undoing it if it wasn't nice, and re-doing it again.

I stuck to it, inspired by my family's appreciation of the time and dedication it took.

Last weekend, I finished it and I'm pretty impressed by myself. It reminded me of my client's and their journey to health, which is often anything but speedy and guaranteed. I was reminded of the dedication, perseverance in spite of setbacks and difficulties.

I was reminded that the journey is as important as is the destination. We are richer for it, for the experience, the lessons and the growth it brings.

If you are on a health journey, whether it's energy related, digestion related or snacking related, reach out - I'll help.

Eating challenges are connected with all aspects of our humanity, our relationships, family, work, sexuality, spirituality, and our search for fulfillment, and it all begins in the mind.

Shockingly, nine out of ten women are unhappy with their appearance, and this dissatisfaction is being passed on to our children, with 70% of 10-year-old girls fearing becoming fat.

To truly heal our food and body challenges, we must address the psychological patterns at their core.

Despite the abundance of superficial food philosophies that promise transformation, many of us end up stuck in the same frustrating cycle.

You can’t fix eating challenges using nutrition alone.

Can Switching To Diet Soft Drinks Sabotage Your Weight Loss Goals? ❌🍹

My clients are frequently changing from regular soft drinks to their zero-calorie or low-sugar alternatives in their effort to reduce calories and therefore lose weight.

But, even if they don't pack many calories, they are sweetened artificially to make them palatable, and research suggests that they are not helping with weight loss as one might have hoped for.
