  For clients that are already experiencing ill health, Marta will take a holistic approach when working with them, firmly believing that finding the root cause of ill health is the most effective way to help one become healthier and happier.

  Nutrition is an important piece of the puzzle to a healthy and happy life. Marta says "Food is powerful. It can make you feel healthy, it can also make you feel sick. It is about making informed choices as there is no one-size fits all diet approach. We have the ability to manage and impact our quality of life through the food choices and lifestyle choices we make."
