Hi and welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Marina, and I’m a Fitness & Bodybuilding Athlete, Judge, Fitness Model, as well as a Level III Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Advisor. I’m proudly Croatian, Australian, and British, and fitness has been a constant thread throughout my life — not just as a passion, but as a lifeline.
My sporting journey began at a young age. I trained in Jazz Dance at a prestigious dance school in Zagreb, Croatia, led by renowned ballerina Edita Cebalo. During high school, I performed for Senna M, a Bosnian–Croatian pop-dance singer, dancer, lyricist, composer, and producer — an unforgettable experience that deepened my love for movement, discipline, and performance.
Alongside dance, I competed in national-level swimming and remained active across many sports. Coming from a highly athletic family — footballers (including my mum!), water polo players, boxers, UFC fighters, dancers, and runners — it felt natural that sport would shape my path.
After completing my A Levels in London, I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Journalism and Communication Studies with Italian, spending my final year in Bologna, Italy, where I refined my Italian and immersed myself in the culture.
It was during my university years that I discovered my true passion for fitness and bodybuilding. While working in media after graduation, I also trained clients as a Personal Trainer — and before long, fitness became my full-time profession.
Since then, I’ve worked in some of the top gyms, training a wide range of clients — including celebrities — with diverse health and fitness goals. Competing nationally and internationally in fitness and bodybuilding eventually led me to become a judge within the sport.
I was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a rare and complex congenital heart defect. At just two years old, I underwent open-heart surgery, and from an early age I was told by doctors to avoid strenuous exercise.
As I grew older, those limitations followed me into adulthood. I struggled with conception, and on top of that, developed leaky heart valves — a long-term complication commonly experienced by Tetralogy of Fallot patients. I am now due for my second open-heart surgery.
When it came to starting a family, I was told my only option was IVF. As always, I questioned the limits placed on me and chose to take responsibility for my own health.
I turned to my education and knowledge of nutrition, listened closely to my body, and followed a nutritional ketosis approach. Against all expectations, I conceived naturally — not once, but twice.
Today, I am a proud mum of two.
The second child was a miracle no one expected.
Fitness has opened many doors — from fitness modelling and promotional work to charity involvement and patronage. One organisation especially close to my heart is the Wheelchair Dance Sport Association (WDSA) UK, whose mission and community I’m incredibly proud to support.
Home-schooling, healthy living, and a passion for digital marketing! As a mom, teacher, certified digital marketer, and personal trainer, I combine my love for education with a focus on movement, fitness, and nutrition for my children.

My journey — through sport, health challenges, heart surgery, motherhood, and fitness — is the reason I’m here today.
I know what it feels like to be told your body can’t.
I also know what’s possible when you take ownership of your health, make informed choices, and refuse to be defined by limitations.
That is why I’m here — to help you on your individual health and fitness journey, whatever your starting point.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Now I’d love to hear about you.
