Hi, I’m Maria! I’m a Certified Health and Wellness Master Coach (Nutritious Life Studio by Kerri Glassman) with certifications from NASM CPT, NASM SFC, and NASM WFS. Before wellness became my calling, I spent over a decade leading global teams in the fast-paced world of advertising, crafting creative strategies and mentoring talent. While I loved the energy and creativity of that career, I found my true fulfillment in helping others transform their lives—and that’s where my joy truly resides. My wellness journey is deeply personal and transformative. Overcoming bulimia taught me profound lessons in self-love, resilience, and the value of a balanced, mindful approach to health. Later, when I was diagnosed with insulin resistance and left without clear guidance, I took control of my path and became a health coach. By prioritizing nutrition and physical activity, I not only managed the condition but completely reversed it—a powerful reminder of how intentional, sustainable lifestyle changes can reshape our health and our lives. Later, I owned a boutique fitness studio, where I saw firsthand how movement and community can create lasting change. My journey took a life-altering turn when I survived undiagnosed placenta accreta—a rare, life-threatening condition—while pregnant with my daughter. Movement, mindfulness, and clean living carried me through that challenge and reinforced my belief in the incredible resilience of our bodies and minds when nurtured with care. These experiences have shaped my unwavering commitment to helping others break free from harmful patterns and embrace wellness as a sustainable, joyful lifestyle.
