• Affiliates

    Trusted Professionals Who Support Your Health Journey

  • A Holistic Network — Without Confusion

    Empowered Ageing is guided by a clear philosophy: movement is the foundation of a healthy, independent, and fulfilling life.

    At the same time, we recognise that wellbeing is multi-dimensional.

    In some cases, people benefit from additional support beyond movement alone.

    For that reason, Empowered Ageing collaborates with a small number of carefully selected independent professionals, referred to as Affiliates.

    These professionals are not part of the core Empowered Ageing service, but trusted partners who share similar values and a preventative, person-centred approach to health.

    When appropriate, clients may be guided toward these professionals to support their wider health journey.

  • How Affiliates Work With Us

    It’s important to be fully transparent.

    • Empowered Ageing services are delivered by Arlindo Martins
    • Affiliate services are provided independently by each professional
    • Any collaboration is based on referral, not obligation
    • Costs, bookings, and professional responsibility remain separate
    • Clients are always free to choose what support feels right for them

    This structure ensures clarity, trust, and integrity — while still allowing access to high-quality complementary expertise.

  • Brigitte Spurgeon

    Holistic Nutritionist & Metabolic Health Expert

    Brigitte specialises in nutritional strategies that support:

    • Metabolic health
    • Blood sugar balance
    • Inflammation reduction
    • Sustainable lifestyle changes.

    Her work focuses on education, empowerment, and long-term health, helping people build a nourishing relationship with food that supports movement, energy, and vitality.

    Clients working with Empowered Ageing may be referred to Brigitte when nutrition plays a key role in supporting their goals or health conditions.

  • Dr Carlos Chan

    Doctor of Traditional East Asian Medicine

    Carlos practices Traditional East Asian Medicine, supporting health through:

    • Acupuncture
    • Herbal medicine
    • Energetic and systemic assessment.

    His work complements movement-based approaches by addressing:

    • Pain
    • Stress
    • Fatigue
    • Internal balance and recovery.

    Referrals are made when clients may benefit from deeper systemic support alongside their movement practice.

  • One Journey — Multiple Layers of Support

    Empowered Ageing believes in integration, not fragmentation.

    Movement remains the foundation — but when movement is supported by:

    • Appropriate nutrition
    • Nervous system regulation
    • Recovery and internal balance

    …the results are often deeper, safer, and more sustainable.

    Affiliates exist to support the journey, not to complicate it.

    Your Choice, Always

    Working with an affiliate is:

    • Optional
    • Clearly discussed in advance
    • Tailored to individual needs
    • Never required to participate in Empowered Ageing programs.

    The goal is simple:

    to help you feel stronger, more confident, and more supported — in a way that respects your autonomy.

    An Integrated, Respectful Approach to Healthy Ageing

    Empowered Ageing brings together:

    • Intelligent movement
    • Preventative thinking
    • Trusted professional collaboration
    • A strong, health-focused community

    All guided by clarity, respect, and care.

    If you have questions about whether additional support could benefit you, this can always be discussed openly during your journey.
