After 25+ years in corporate finance, I know what it’s like to chase success while running on empty. Long hours, caffeine, sugar, and stress used to be my fuel, until my health forced me to stop. I was a prediabetic, sugar-addicted, overworked professional who thought I could “push through.”
Once I started listening to my body and looking at the data, everything changed. I discovered how to restore energy, balance blood sugar, and rebuild health from the inside out.
Today, as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), Board Certified Functional Wellness Professional, and personal trainer, I help driven professionals 40+ do the same. Through The Horstmann Method, we uncover the root causes of fatigue, weight gain, and stress so you can feel focused, confident, and strong again—without quick fixes or burnout.
If you’re ready to get your energy and control back, let’s create a personalized plan that helps you thrive, not just survive.
P.S. I’m Brazilian-born and although I’ve lived in the USA since 1996, my English is not perfect. If you have a grammar phobia, ouch! When you catch my grammatical errors, tell me directly. Obrigada!
But you can’t keep living this way, dealing with these symptoms, pushing through, and just hoping they magically get better. The ‘take this for that’ approach isn’t working. Your time is precious and you want to make the most of it. You’re DONE with the EXCUSES. You’re ready to take ACTION and stop making suboptimal diet and lifestyle decisions. Your body is taking a hit. But you’re NOT sure about where to begin [again] and what’s really going to help.

Maria will help you change your life! She helped me change mine and was an incredible motivator, listener, and coach. I discovered and reversed why I comforted myself with food and unhealthy behaviors. I lost 30 lbs and have kept it off with the new habits, but more important than the weight loss, I have gained an entirely new appreciation for myself and a confidence that has improved many aspects of my life.
At 55 y/o my joints were aching, my diet wasn’t working anymore. First, Maria taught me that weight loss is physical and mental. She pushed me to do things I’d have never done on my own. She saw potential in me and wanted me to see it too. I lost 28.4 lbs in her 90-day Blood Sugar Program. Maria also taught me to love myself more and put myself first. It’s not always easy, but I’ve realized that I’m worth it. She’s truly my life-saving coach.
Turn back the clock, reboot your health, and feel amazing from the inside out!
Get toxins out of the way so you can reignite your weight loss and feel happy in your own skin!
