Martina McLeod – Sports Massage Therapist, Personal Trainer & Movement Coach

Martina is a Qualified Massage Therapist, Personal Trainer, a VIPR Trainer and Functional Movement Trainer.

Helping people achieve better life-quality through whole body movement is her passion! Preferably she loves helping those that don’t fit into any specific category.

People who have an unexplained niggle here and there, who are not into elite sports, but who still want to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Like being able to walk up a hill without starting to puff and pant. Or parents who want to chase their kids around the playground or park without feeling back or other pain kick in, or those who simply want to live life without needing a daily dose of painkillers and anti-inflammatories.

Martina’s personal history led her into studying naturopathy, because early in life she experienced the mind-body connection firsthand. Realizing that everything in the mind and body is connected and therefore needs to be addressed as a whole is absolutely necessary in seeing long term positive results.

Martina believes that:

• Only when you start moving can you find out what works for you and is fun for you!
• Staying physically fit all your life is a key aspect of staying healthy: You rest, you rust!
• Life is not something that happens to you, but something you create. It is up to you what you make of whatever it is that crosses your path.
• Fitness can be anything that involves moving, whether it’s weight training, walking, jogging, skipping, boxing, yoga, martial arts, swimming, dancing, or team sports. The most important thing is that it’s fun for you!
