Have you tried every diet out there and still feel overwhelmed and stuck in inaction? You know that the answer to get your cravings under control isn't another diet, but you're unsure what steps to take to consistently get yourself on track towards a healthy lifestyle you truly desire.
You've already put a tremendous effort into this but none of it has worked because you've been mislead into thinking that willpower alone is the solution.
It's important to understand that this is not about your willpower, it has nothing to do with any inherent weakness of character or willingness to change.
The good news is that you have the power to create an entirely new relationship with food, enabling you to lose weight in a healthy way without feeling deprived or losing their sense of security.
It's time to embrace a revolutionary perspective on healthy eating!
JUST IMAGINE...
Feeling like you truly eat to live rather than live to eat, seeing the difference in the mirror and being able to relax in the evening without turning to food.
It is possible to make this your reality, the reality where you are in control, you feel relaxed around food, you feel energised and recharged. Feeling proud of what you have achieved and for facing it head on. Feeling confidence and simply knowing that you're the one in control, not the food!

Levels of Service

The bronze level is best for those looking to complete the course on their own. This course relies on your own persistence and drive to keep you going.
Who is it not for?
The Bronze level is not for those who need encouragement to progress with through the programme and take action.

Who is it not for?

HOW WE STARTED
Hi, I'm Martina, Registered Nutritional Therapist with a BSc in Psychology
... and just few short years ago, I was in your shoes - if I wasn't eating, I was thinking about food or making it - food had a complete hold over me.
I changed what I was doing, but mostly I changed what I was thinking and it worked wonders!
I cannot wait to share with you what I have learned and help you to harness the incredible power you have within yourself to get these cravings under control and thrive!
I'll meet you inside the Freedom From Cravings Programme
Martina
How Do I Know if It's Right for Me?
Not sure if the “Freedom From Cravings” Programme is right for you?
Right for you if...
You want to feel empowered over your food choices and unlock the world of wellbeing
Perfect for you if..
You struggle with cravings and find that diets don't really help you to stay off snacks for good?
Great for you if...
You want to experience the joy of balanced digestion, restful sleep and great energy
NOW IS THE TIME
If you’ve stayed with me this far, you owe it to yourself to treat yourself to good digestion, sound sleep and great health.
There has never been a better time to start living up to your full health potential.
I’ve purchased programmes like this in the past and they have not worked for me.
The one thing that most programmes are missing is adressing the root cause of cravings and bad habits. They tend to focus on what and how much is on your plate almost exclusively and omit the role of the brain and mind in your cravings. This program will not give you meal plans or get you to count calories, we work under the surface, deep in your mind, where your habits originate and we change them there. This is not a dieting program, it's a mind reprogramming program.
I’m not sure if I’m ready to do this yet?
The programme is run online and you get to learn as and when it suit you. Whether you do this as an intensive course or whether you take your time and process each lesson and sit with the learnings before you move on. The timings are up to you, your access is lifetime. You do, however, need to have a commitment to change and willingness to be challenged. I find that the more you put in, the more you get out.
I am confused over the dietary advise out there, will there be advise on what to eat?
Absolutely, we will be covering food in quite some detail, it just simply doesn't form the whole programme. You will get clear on what to eat for each meal, while not compromising on flavor and enjoyment of food. We will be talking about what to eat to prevent cravings and how to get the best out of food for you individually.
If you still have questions, then you can address them with me in our weekly group coaching calls!
I am taking medication, will I still be able to take part in the programme?
You should always check the suitability of any dietary changes with your doctor. As the programme works primarily with the mind, you will be able to take action on vast majority of the programme, without it affecting the outcome. If there are any dietary restrictions you have due to the medication, then please avoid these foods in the handouts.
I'm worried I don't have the willpower to make these changes. Will there be help provided?
There is no willpower involved and that is what we go into, within the programme. All you need is open mind, honesty and curiosity, the rest such as the tools and strategies is what I will teach you and these will then increase and incorporate your willpower. You will experience natural shifts in your willpower naturally and this is through the reprogramming of your thoughts, beliefs and habits around food.
I noticed that there are weekly group coaching sessions, what if I can't make the sessions?
All sessions will be recorded and available for you to catch up on when you are ready. If you have any questions, then these can be submitted prior to the live sessions via private Facebook group, this way we will then go through them and answer then on the call for you.
I am pregnant, can I still do this programme?
You should always contact your doctor and check this with them. However, the majority of the programme is psychology / NLP practices, focusing on the mind, which can be done at any time and will not have a direct effect on your pregnancy. The food part of the programme can be individualised.
I have food restrictions that I cannot change, will this be accounted for in the programme?
Yes, you should always stay within a safe remit of what you can eat and should consult your doctor if you are considering including foods that you have previously avoided, however the information in the programme is not a specific diet with a prescriptive meal plans, but rather a set of guidelines that we work with to achieve a certain goal. There are no foods that you absolutely have to include, so whether you are vegetarian, vegan, celiac or have other sensitivities, the meals can be personalised to your specific requirements.
PUT ME ON THE WAITING LIST

"I am following the plan well. I have taken my eye off the ball, so to speak, a few times both nutritionally, and in terms of personality patterning and critical thinking. So the advice you gave was spot on and very relevant for me. Thank you. The consequences each time has been exhaustion and being unwell. But I have been able to recognize this and reverse the situation quite well I believe. The fact that I am even able to reverse the process is excellent and I am in a far better place that a year ago."

“I didn't appreciate what you meant by Emotions just want to be felt. It puzzled me, until I started hearing it elsewhere and when I started doing it, it transformed me! I can eat most things now and I'm loving it, I'm back to running every day and I FEEL good. I have more energy, I'm calm and food doesn't have the same hold over me as it once did. Thank you”
