My passion is in helping clients achieve a healthier lifestyle through wellness and fitness. I'm a strong believer that when people start to appreciate how the body feels after movement and proper breathing, they can live life to the fullest! An important component is proper nutrition which enhances the activity of your choice, whether you practice Yoga, Zumba, or running. What we eat is how your fuel your system and I feel it is wise to understand the impact on workouts, as you start to understand the relationship developed with food. Besides the fitness world I am an Office Ergonomics Specialists, I make your office, home and environment feel adequate to your body needs. A better posture leads to a better quality of life! I can help you.
I have been working with the senior population for over 5 years, became FAI certified! also teach seated yoga and specialized in working with the Parkinson's population.

For several years Maria has been my fitness counselor on a variety of exercise programs to improve my overall health. While the exercise programs are conducted in a class setting, Maria makes sure each student receives personalized attention, motivating and encouraging everyone to improve performance. She is constantly assessing each student’s strengths and weaknesses and adjusts her instruction accordingly. Her excellent knowledge and experience are evident as Maria patiently encourages each student to strive for peak performance. Rather than being satisfied with the same exercise routine, Maria researches new and exciting exercise theories to incorporate into our program. Coupled with her smile, positive energy and sense of humor, Maria’s approach makes me look forward to each session!

I have worked with Maria for the past three years. Our interaction has involved both group exercises and yoga classes. She is terrific. Her enthusiasm is unbounded and her knowledge of the various aspects of physical fitness is first rate. She has patience, is very observant, and clearly loves her work. Perhaps equally importantly, Maria has a great sense of humor. I recommend her highly to anyone who is exercising to improve their physical fitness level or is working through a physical therapy program. In my experience, it is often difficult to maintain one's commitment to an exercise regimen over the long haul. Maria provides a strong motivation to work out because of the many benefits offered by her classes. I find myself looking forward to working with her and feel that something important is missing on those occasions where I have have been unable to attend one of her classes. She has my highest rating.
