Hi, I’m Carla Martins.

Nice to meet you! I am a certified Pilates instructor with a Comprehensive Pilates Certification through Balanced Body, with a special focus on Rehabilitative Pilates and the transformative power of mindful movement. I am pursuing advanced training in spinal and orthopedic pathologies to expand my knowledge of movement-based rehabilitation. As someone who personally experienced a serious spinal injury, I understand the challenges of chronic pain, rebuilding strength and confidence in your body - and that’s what inspired me to create a more mindful, supportive space for healing through movement.

I am also obtaining a doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine, to become a licensed TCM practitioner by 2027 with a certification in Advanced Orthopedics and Trauma! I currently intern at a Chiropractic and Acupuncture clinic that specializes in pain management and orthopedics.

My vision is to integrate multiple healing modalities to support individuals on their journey to recovery and wellness.

On the fun side, I am an original Brazilian and bring warmth and joy into my work. I love spending sunny days at the beach, where I feel most connected to my roots and the rhythms of nature.
