I look forward to Marta’s Fitness Pilates class every week – she’s a real professional who creates a safe and friendly atmosphere for the class to work in – always explains how each exercise will benefit specific areas of the body, and then makes sure we’re doing them properly to avoid injury – I definitely feel stronger and more flexible since starting her classes – and they’re fun !

Mu husband and I have had personal training sessions with Marta for a few months and cannot praise her too highly.
We always look forward to the sessions.
The exercises are never boring or repetitive but are carefully tailored to address our individual needs, to stretch and strengthen us and to build on previous work. Every session is different and I always feel invigorated and well worked after them. We have both noticed many improvements (which my osteopath has also remarked on) and Marta's enthusiasm and positivity also provide a great incentive to practice on our own so as not to disappoint her when we next meet!

My wife and I go to one of Marta’s Zumba classes once a week and we found the class so joyous and uplifting that when she said she was going to start Personal Training we decided we should give it a go. She asked us what our needs were and now she comes every week to try to sort out our aches, pains, weaknesses and stiffnesses. Just as with the Zumba class we find our sessions very joyful but they are cleverly designed so that our ailments are treated thoughtfully and very thoroughly. We look forward to each session after practising most days the exercises she has taught us. I think our Personal Training with Marta will become a fixture of our lives from now on. More...

I have had Marta as a Personal Trainer for only a couple of months now. In that short time I have found a definite improvement in my balance and energy levels.

Marta did a brilliant job on the choreography of our wedding First Dance. She devised an imaginative routine to our chosen track that was within our limited capabilities but made us look good, and patiently guided us through it. As in her classes, her teaching was relaxed and fun, full of her natural charm and lively personality. More...

I have been taking Marta's dance and fitness classes for years and find them really fun and a terrific workout. I also follow her Pilates classes which are excellent. She is a delightful person - enthusiastic and encouraging, very friendly and always concerned that you get the most out of her classes. It is a joy to be taught by her and to profit from her expertise and years of dance experience. I couldn't recommend her highly enough. More...

I absolutely love Marta’s dance classes. Marta is so friendly and encouraging and makes it easy to follow even for new starters - but adds in more twiddly moves for those who are more advanced so it keeps you on your toes at all levels. There’s a range of dance styles and music to bring out your inner goddess/diva - whatever your taste - so you can’t help but loosen up and let yourself go! Best of all, it always brings a big smile to my face. A great way to exercise and have fun at the same time More...

I’ve been coming to Marta’s Zumba Gold class for over 8 years and I love it, gets my weekend off to a great start every time. Marta is excellent at offering different levels for ability or fitness in the same class. And she changes and updates routines regularly to keep us on our toes. We are also welcome to say which routines we like or don’t like and make any other suggestions. She always tries to take them on board. Her Zumba Gold class is great for fitness but more than that it’s great fun. More...

I have attended MM Health and Fitness 'Fitsteps' class in Newmarket. Marta is a great teacher, up beat and inclusive. She makes the workout fun but challenging and overlays that with an excellent soundtrack to keep your feet moving. Every class leaves me feeling happy and revitalised. I cannot recommend MM Health & Fitness more highly if you are looking for an enjoyable workout. More...

Marta offers teaching of the highest quality; she builds up the routines step by step and always offers options for lower impact. In this way, she enables beginners to benefit from a class, that also suits more experienced dancers. Her own dance is skilled and she makes it great fun . She offers such a high degree of support and encouragement; everyone leaves her class feeling boosted both mentally and physically. More...

Marta is the consummate professional. Her classes are always fun, energising and uplifting. She takes the time to explain technique to us, and motivates us to develop skills and confidence while getting great exercise. That's why I've been her regular student now since 2012. She's wonderful, and I feel wonderful after every single class I take with her. More...

Life Coaching
We are all looking for the same thing - HAPINESS. Some people find joy in their career, others find it in a romantic relationship, and some in a new sense of self-confidence. No matter your goal, introducing life coaching will ensure you reach it in the near future. If you are lost, distracted, unsure, unmotivated, lacking confidence, have lost your passion for life, or just want to make some changes, what you need is to ask for support from a professional.
A life coach can help a person to identify strengths, develop them, and identify personal and professional goals. Their role is to assist the coachee throughout the change process.

It may be you have had a low mood, anxiety, depression, anger or just feeling ‘stuck’ at this point in your life. I would love to work with you to find a sense of calm in your life and offer tools and knowledge that will enable you to feel differently. It may be you have a mild phobia or have experienced a trauma that is impacting your everyday life. I would like to help you come to a place where you once more feel in control of your emotions and reactions. What type of therapy am I offering? It is short-term, solution focused therapy (typically 6-8 sessions). All the techniques are evidence based and work with our brains and body natural responses.
Psychotherapy
Human givens psychotherapy offers practical, solution-focused help that deals with mental and emotional distress in the here and now. I won’t waste your time just endlessly listening to you or attempting to dredge up real or imagined miserable memories from the past. My psychotherapy training ensures that I have a sound body of evidence-based knowledge and the proven skills to help both adults and children as quickly as possible with a wide variety of emotional and behavioural difficulties. Aa a human givens practitioner, I will focus on helping my clients to identify their unmet emotional needs and empower them to meet these needs by activating their own natural resources in new ways. To do this I use a variety of up-to-date, proven techniques aimed at problem solving.
