Her journey involved consulting over 30 doctors and receiving multiple diagnoses, including ME/CFS, POTS, and IBS. Despite setbacks, including a traumatic event and navigating a relationship with a narcissistic person, Martina has achieved significant recovery through pacing, dietary changes, psychotherapy, expressive writing, and tension and trauma release exercises. Her background in journalism and human biology has aided in her recovery approach and education.
