About Martin

---

I’m Martin, founder of MDA Personal Coaching.

I work with people who want to improve their health, performance, and wellbeing through practical, sustainable changes in breathing, nutrition, and sleep.

I’m a Certified Oxygen Advantage® Advanced Breathing Instructor and hold a Level 4 qualification in Nutrition for Sport and Exercise Performance.

I've always had a strong interest in health, performance, and wellbeing.

Through my own experience, I've seen the positive impact that breathing, nutrition, sleep, and recovery can have on both physical performance and everyday life.

Before moving into coaching, I worked in a corporate, high-pressure environment where I experienced first-hand the importance of managing stress, maintaining focus, and supporting overall wellbeing.

These experiences led me to explore breathing, nutrition, recovery, and sleep in greater depth, ultimately inspiring me to develop my knowledge and qualifications so I could help others make meaningful changes and improve how they feel.

My interest in breathing developed further in 2020 during the Covid period, where I began practising the Wim Hof Method.

This introduced me to the wider positive impact that breathing can have on the nervous system, resilience, and overall wellbeing.

Since then, through further learning, personal experience, and my Oxygen Advantage® training, I've developed a deeper understanding of how different breathing techniques can be applied for different purposes and individuals. 

Since completing my Oxygen Advantage® certification, I now use breathing techniques daily to:

• Support calm and nervous system regulation
• Reduce stress
• Improve sleep quality
• Enhance my running and training performance

I’ve seen first-hand how effective these methods can be when applied consistently and appropriately.

I believe that small, consistent improvements in breathing, nutrition, sleep, and recovery can have a meaningful impact on both performance and overall wellbeing.

My role is to help you make practical and sustainable changes that fit around your lifestyle and goals, ultimately helping you feel and perform at your best.
