She specialises in upper limb physiotherapy and hand therapy, with extensive experience supporting individuals with hypermobility, recurrent flare ups, and persistent upper limb symptoms.

 She is experienced in treating complex shoulder, arm, wrist, and hand conditions using techniques such as joint manipulation, joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, wound and scar management, and custom thermoplastic splints. Her goal is to support each patient’s healing journey with compassion and expert care. )

Her clinical approach integrates specialist hand therapy, individualised clinical Pilates, education, pacing strategies, endurance based strengthening, and customised thermoplastic splinting. Treatment is adapted around periods of increased stress, fatigue, or symptom flare ups to support joint stability, reduce pain, and improve movement efficiency in everyday tasks.

Alongside her physiotherapy practice, Sunny is also a Registered Nurse.

Hello! I’m Marina.

I’m an eating disorder dietitian who cares deeply about helping people find more peace with food, their bodies, and their health. During my time at Eat Love Live, I’ve worked with a wide range of eating disorder presentations and understand how these experiences often overlap with neurodivergence and co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, digestive issues, PMOS, endometriosis, and chronic invisible illnesses including fibromyalgia, POTS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermoblity Spectrum Disorder (HSD). 

I have particular interests in working with people who are neurodivergent, those living in higher-weight bodies, and individuals navigating chronic illness and disability — especially invisible conditions that are often misunderstood or minimised. I recognise how complex it can be to navigate relationships with food, movement, body image, and health while also living with pain, fatigue, hypermobility, sensory differences, or fluctuating capacity.

By zooming out to see the bigger picture, I’m able to map out a pathway forward and support clients step by step as they build stronger foundations of trust, confidence, and connection with food and their bodies.I deeply value lived experience and tailor every part of the process to the individual.
