Maria excels at listening closely and is quick to spot when you get in your own way. Besides providing accountability and tools to live a healthier life, she supports you each step of the way by helping you work on mindset, clearing “debris” that blocks progress, and motivating you to push to the next level.
Maria knows what it’s like to not take care of yourself. She herself was once so highly addicted to sugar that she would drink condensed milk out of the can. She was prediabetic. Vegetables never landed on her plate. Nor did healthy fats. She suffered from chronic digestive and intestinal tract issues. After experimenting with different diets and digging deep into the research, Maria has learned how to make more thoughtful food choices, use self-healing to nip problems in the bud, and exercise regularly to achieve optimal health. “If I was able to do it, you can as well,” she says.
Maria has trained with the National Academy of Sports Medicine, Institute of Nutritional Endocrinology, Metabolic Healing, and the Corporate Health & Wellness Association. She has earned certifications in personal training, nutrition, and insulin resistance coaching. Maria worked 20+ years in finance before following her passion for health, wellness, and fitness. She holds an MBA from Emory University. Volleyball, nature hikes, and bungee jumping are among many physical activities and sports she enjoys in her free time. “Living life with joy, energy, and health,” says Maria, “is the best gift you can give yourself.”
