Hi, I’m Marina – Co-founder of 80:20 Living.I’m a Nutritionist, educator, wellness facilitator, and the heart behind 80:20 Living – a business I co-created with my daughter Sara to help others find balance in a world that often feels overwhelming.I’ve spent over 11 years teaching Science and Nutrition in high schools and working as a wellbeing leader, and along the way, I’ve learnt that true wellness isn’t just about food or fitness – it’s about creating space in your life to feel calm, connected, and clear. After navigating my own health challenges – including iron deficiency, post-baby weight fluctuations, and burnout – I shifted my focus to gut health, nervous system support, and simple daily rituals that actually feel good.What I love most is bringing people together in a way that’s real, hands-on, and meaningful. Through 80:20 Living, I run workshops and retreats that blend evidence-based wellbeing practices with the art of slowing down – like tea blending, mindfulness, decluttering, and exploring how our spaces and habits impact our inner world.I believe wellness should feel like coming home to yourself – not another thing on your to-do list. That’s why our events are grounded, nourishing, and free from perfectionism. Whether it's a two-hour tea workshop or a three-day retreat, my aim is to help you reconnect with yourself, one small, mindful step at a time.I’m also a mum, a lifelong learner, and someone who genuinely loves good food, soulful conversations, and time in nature. If you’re curious about how to bring more clarity, energy, and balance into your life – without all the pressure – I’d love to welcome you to one of our upcoming events.Let’s make wellbeing feel simple, soulful, and sustainable – together.— Marina
