Martina Cowen Nutritional Therapy

✨ Feel like nutrition advice is all noise and no clarity?

One day it’s “cut carbs.”
The next, it’s “carbs are essential.”
No wonder it feels overwhelming.

And when the confusion sets in, it’s easy to think:
💭 “I must just lack willpower.”
💭 “Maybe I’m the problem.”

But you’re not broken. You’re not failing.
You’re stuck in a cycle of shame, self-blame, and contradictory advice that was never designed for you in the first place.

What you really need isn’t another set of rigid food rules.
It’s clarity. Compassion. Guidance that meets you where you are.

That’s why I do what I do, so you can stop second-guessing yourself, quiet the noise, and finally feel safe, confident, and in control around food again.

💬 If that sounds like what you’ve been searching for, I’d love to hear your story.
Get in touch for a "Freedom Call" today and let's work together to give you the true freedom you deserve.

It started with cravings that didn’t make sense.
After becoming a mum, Martina found herself thinking about food constantly, not from hunger, but from exhaustion. Even with her nutrition background, the usual tools weren’t enough.

💭 “I realised it wasn’t about willpower. The cravings weren’t flaws, they were signals. That’s when everything changed.”

Now, with over 9 years in practice, Martina blends science with compassion to help others uncover the real drivers behind cravings, gut issues, and fatigue.

✨ Because lasting change doesn’t start with rules, it starts with being seen.

You’ve tried diets.
You’ve followed meal plans.
You’ve done everything “perfectly”.

But cravings, guilt, and gut issues still show up.

Real change doesn’t come from more restriction.
It comes from understanding your body, resetting habits, and finding a calmer way forward.

🌿 Freedom from Cravings can help you do exactly that.

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.
