My story

A diagnosis was my turning point 15 years ago when I overcame Multiple Sclerosis naturally and holistically. 

I stripped all toxicity from my life, strengthened and balanced my system, quietened my mind and reconnected to myself. I followed my intuition, I did my own research, studied Nutritional Medicine and became a Yoga Instructor.

Protocol

 

As well as a daily practice of Yoga, breath-work and meditation, my protocol that helped me heal my disease, includes an organic, whole food, plant based diet that is dairy and eggs free, refined sugar free and gluten free. Low saturated fats and foods rich in Omega-3 feature in my protocol as well as turmeric/curcumin and a high dose supplement of Vitamin D.

Yoga

 

I trained to become a yoga instructor abroad with renowned Rishikesh based Yoga Guru, Ravindra Tomar. 

 

When I embarked on my training, I had just recovered from my last ever MS attack where  I had lost function of the entire left side of my body including my eyesight and had only recently cleansed myself of all medication and toxicity. 

 

During my intensive training with Ravvi, I reconnected to myself and completely transformed and strengthened on a cellular level. There has been no change to my inner strength and vitality from when I completed this training. 

 

I teach my students the way that I was taught and in the way that helped me heal, to enable them to experience the transformations that they need.

I strongly believe that the most effective and permanent way to heal is through self work, and in my opinion the practise of yoga, breath-work and meditation along with dietary changes are the most powerful tools.

*At the time of diagnosis 15 years ago I had already accumulated over 20 lesions in my brain. I wanted to support my claims of overcoming MS, so I compared MRI scans of my brain taken nearly 11 years apart. It was no surprise to me that no new lesions had formed since I began my natural protocol.

 

Testimonials

Before starting meditation, yoga, and transitioning to a vegan diet, I struggled daily with the relentless pain and challenges of CRPS, alongside the emotional weight of anxiety and depression. Traditional approaches only took me so far, and I was desperate for something that could help me reconnect with myself and find real relief.
Since embracing these changes, I’ve noticed a profound shift.. not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Yoga and meditation have given me tools to manage my pain and calm my nervous system, while a plant-based diet has helped reduce inflammation and given me more energy than I thought possible. But beyond the physical benefits, this journey has also helped me find a sense of peace, clarity, and strength within myself that I never knew I had.
None of this would have been possible without Martha. Her guidance, wisdom, and unwavering support have been life-changing. She creates a space that is safe, nurturing, and empowering.. one where healing truly happens. Her knowledge and deep care for every individual she works with shine through in everything she does. Martha isn’t just a teacher; she’s a light, helping others find their own path to wellness and self-discovery. I am beyond grateful to have found her.
I’m still on this path/journey, but I already feel like I’ve reclaimed a part of myself that CRPS and chronic illness had taken away. If you’re struggling and looking for something that truly nurtures body, mind and soul I can’t recommend this journey, or Martha enough.

I joined Martha’s yoga classes to hopefully fix my back, but I found more than I ever imagined! With over a year of regular attendance 2 -3 times a week on average, I am once again enjoying activities that I had to stop. I have more energy, am more focussed and have had my mind opened to a world of holistic health. Thankyou Martha for a beautiful class experience in an encouraging and supportive environment and for caring enough to make focus and discipline mean something.

“When I first started yoga with Martha, I couldn't even sit cross-legged on the floor - I had so much back pain, many of the postures were impossible. However, with gentle coaching and regular practise, 12 weeks later I can not only sit in Lotus on the mat, but I can do all the postures which previously hurt AND I can do a head stand! I cannot recommend more highly, Yoga with Martha, she is a yogic angel!”

Kim J - Mt Eliza.

"I began yoga classes to improve my posture, srengthen my core muscles and develop balance.That was delivered, and was more than I expected & exceedingly more than I paid for! Martha's skill, expertness & tutelage coached me into not only how to conquer the most difficult of poses from my beginner level but she taught me to breathe. The simplest body movement I had no idea how to do! From all that, stemmed growth in mindlfullness, connection & strength. So if you want to whip your mind, body and soul into shape, I prescribe Martha's yoga class. Martha's intimate yoga group gifted me friendships, support and an appreciation for all that she does. And she does it with love! Thank you Martha”

​“Martha offers a relaxed, unpretentious vibe in her welcoming and friendly classes. Women, men, bodies of all shapes, sizes and abilities coming together. Using breathing techniques and poses, we move and stretch, reconnecting and revitalising our bodies and minds. Martha draws upon her many years of practice, sharing her learnings and stories of personal growth. Simultaneously relaxing and energising, these classes are perfect for those seeking that yoga afterglow. Highly recommend.“
Alexandra E - Mt Eliza 

Yoga was a practice that I have been wanting to start for quite some time, though I hadn’t yet come across a teacher that I felt was right for me. When choosing someone to learn off I look for the warriors that have persevered through times of great challenge. Martha’s story is incredible.

I wanted to try yoga to see if it would help me with stabilisation, I felt off axis and uncomfortable even just standing up. I have been practicing for around 2 months and things are shifting & great change is taking place. The real treasure is the deeper connection and awareness I’m building with my body. Thank you Martha.

"When I first came to Martha’s class I had chronic hip pain, I was unable to function normally and I walked with a pronounced limp. I was scheduled for hip replacement surgery and Yoga was my very last resort. After three weeks of yoga with Martha - five classes a week, I was practically pain free. I could hold most positions in class and move my body freely during the day. I have practised yoga over my lifetime but as I now realise, I had never learnt it correctly, in a way that could help me heal. I can now postpone, if not cancel my hip operation. I feel I have a new lease of life. Thank you so much Martha!"

We live in a society where we are becoming more connected with external influences and  less connected with ourselves.
 
I passionately believe that you can take back control, empower yourself and connect with your true nature and purpose in life.
