about
Hello
I am Maria, a certified holistic nutrition and weight loss coach. I specialize in hormones, gut health and emotional eating.
Weight loss is a tricky and complicated journey. If it were as simple as "calories in, calories out," we'd all be skinny. But as anyone who has struggled to lose weight and keeping it off knows, there are countless factors at play.
Tell me this…
How many years have you spent trying to reach your magical number on the scale?
How many diets have you tried that has failed in the long run?
How often have you felt as if your own body is working against your very best efforts?
And…how fed up are you with constantly either OBSESSING about food or THINKING about diets?
​
Damn, I had a chocolate croissant instead of scrambled eggs for breakfast, now the whole day is ruined. Screw it, I will eat what I want today and start fresh tomorrow! You ever had these thoughts?
Yeah…I know I have!
I have spent many years trying to reach my own magical number and despite my best efforts, my own body seemed to work against me. I know I'm not alone in this. How often have you felt like your cravings and emotions are controlling your weight loss journey?
​
I know how it feels to be constantly obsessed with food, always thinking about diets and feeling disappointed and heartbroken that no matter how hard I tried, my efforts never seemed to stick.
But...
In 2014 my journey took a turn when I decided to dive deeper into the world of nutrition. I took my first nutrition and weight management course and loved it so much that I continued my studies in the health and wellness field, earning 13 more certifications over the next 8 years.
Now, as a holistic nutrition and weight loss coach, I help others break free from the cycle of emotional eating and yo-yo dieting.
