Experience
In addition to supporting others with nutrition and training, both online and in person, Maren has faced her own health challenges.
Her journey began at 19 when she started traveling and experienced sudden changes in her digestion. These issues developed into leaky gut, food intolerances, candida overgrowth, bacterial imbalances, skin problems, and a weakened immune system.
Through these struggles, Maren experienced firsthand how quickly health can decline and how deeply it affects both the mind and body. However, she also discovered the incredible healing power of proper nutrition and supplements, helping her regain her health and feel like herself again.
This personal journey has given Maren a deep understanding of her clients' struggles. She truly empathizes with what they are going through because she has been there herself.
Maren share her experience, knowledge and help people both hands on as a personal trainer in Portugal, as an 1:1 online coach and through her own Wellness Week retreats in Portugal.
