Confidence Moving Forward

Taking the Stress Out of an Integrative Approach

Empowered to Reduce Recurrence Risk

Peace of Mind

I am very grateful to have found a truly dedicated and compassionate professional to be a part of my team! Maria has played an integral part in helping me maintain optimal health and wellness throughout treatment of HER2 targeted treatments while taking into consideration my strengths, challenges, and lifestyle. I love that she personalizes a plan by looking at your beliefs and values, & collaborates integrative and conventional methods embracing a full body approach. She has encouraged me to explore my emotional health and helped me gain a better understanding in blood sugar regulation, detoxification, and immune support. She ensures her nutrition plan, supplementation, and recommendations are attainable and geared towards success. Her knowledge in nutrition, breast cancer research, and her own experience has given me confidence in my recovery and has decreased fear of recurrence so I can put more energy towards happiness and joy. - Allison

Maria has been such a breath of fresh air in the dark alleys of cancer care. Taking an integrative approach to cancer treatment is beyond stressful — the holistic vs conventional cancer worlds don’t overlap, and often slander the other, and the patient is left to decide what information is true and which risks they are willing to take with each decision. Maria is an incredible wealth of information, an essential aid in navigating all of that.  She has a strong gift for simplifying the essential information. Of utmost value to me has been her attention to detail - she lays it all out in a very clear way. I can fully trust her to know which supplement is the best choice, as well as if substances shouldn’t be taken together. My oncologists and naturopathic oncologists have come and gone, but I hold onto Maria with a tight grip! I’m forever inspired by her long-term stage 4 remission of HE2 positive breast cancer as well! Maria is a great gift. 

I highly recommend Maria as a functional nutritionist. Being a breast cancer survivor carrying a BRCA2 mutation, I came to Maria to help me maintain optimal health and prevent recurrence. She is a wealth of knowledge and has helped me to put together a plan of lab tests, diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes. She also connected me with an integrative doctor to collaborate in my care. I’ve learned so much from her and feel more empowered having her on my team. - Bonnie 

Maria has provided me what traditional medicine cannot — peace of mind -— knowing that I am doing everything that I can to prevent recurrence. She's helped me keep my sanity. She serves as the greatest inspiration and because she had HER2+ breast cancer, like myself. I trust everything she recommends. She also is generous with her knowledge, carrying the lantern of light that guides us all through that dark night of fear. - Ellie

Maria is a wealth of information about supplements that block all the breast cancer pathways and is a prolific researcher and contributor to online cancer support groups. She did a wonderful job evaluating and making recommendations for diet, and making me a customized  list of supplements for my particular meal timing choices. I just got back my latest estrogen metabolite (DUTCH) test and with Maria’s guidance I’ve made brought my markers into normal range! Thanks Maria!!! - Betsy

True Understanding

Maria is a gifted expert on managing the nutritional needs of a highly sensitive client. She has a true understanding of food sensitivities and allergies, and is able to make meal suggestions that work. She is indispensable as a guide on how and where to shop, and how to prepare meals and treats that truly satisfy. - Paula

Passion for Nutrition

Maria’s passion for nutrition and health in general has changed my life. She knows her science (so much knowledge about body chemistry and nutrients), and she knows people (how hard it can be to change our habits)! Maria’s program for me of diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes helped me get through major menopausal symptoms and changes. She understood my hectic life and offered a variety of options to make my diet work. She also recommended the right nutrition for me to successfully quit taking medication for depression and settle into a comfortable healthy routine. With her expert support, I have learned strategies for sleeping better, feeling less stressed, and avoiding sickness and disease. I’ve also lost nearly 40 pounds thanks to her! - Deanna

I began working with Maria after my treatment for HER2+ breast cancer ended.  She has spent countless hours with me, reviewing my entire history of labs, surgeries, and doctor reports.  My gut was destroyed from treatment and she recommended a list of nutrients—as well as a detailed schedule as to when to take them all—to help me get it back up and running.  Currently I feel great, have lots of energy, and feel very healthy.  I am amazed and so impressed with Maria’s level of knowledge and wisdom, and truly feel that I have the right person in my corner. Thank you Maria! - Suzanne
