“I am 60 years old and have been training with Maria for many years now. Prior to Maria I was doing a boot camp and was either getting injured, or just didn't feel the exercises were appropriate for someone my age. Her work out is individualized to me for balance, stability, bone density, strength, flexibility, and aerobic health. I am strong and healthy and very grateful to Maria for her part in my health journey!”

“Maria has been my personal trainer for over 2 years following 2 major surgeries. The results I have achieved to date are largely due to Maria’s balanced combination of methods, individualized exercise programs, and her extensive knowledge to living a healthier active lifestyle. She is professional, energetic, encouraging and punctual to name a few of her many fine qualities. She is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone of any age!”

“Training with Maria is a positive and personal experience. She inspires and motivates with her kindness and intuition. Maria demonstrates sincere interest in her clients; she researches and customizes our personal workouts to strengthen and balance us overall, while rehabilitating areas that may need special attention. Maria is creative and innovative in her approach, challenging and engaging me, and providing amazing results. Training with Maria is more than a workout. It is strength and fuel for the journey.”

“Maria is not just an amazing trainer. She is also the most compassionate and caring person I know. She truly loves what she does and understands the importance of a strong body.”

“My work with Maria helps keep my body, mind, and soul nourished and, day by day, more attuned, strong, and serene. Maria is more than a trainer of my body; she is a mainstay in reminding me of the inseparability of matter and spirit. Our sessions are physical prayers, and I am filled with gratitude.”

“Maria is very well prepared with everything you need for a great workout. As someone who isn’t a fan of the gym, I appreciate that she comes to my home. The workout was wonderful. I felt better after without being too sore the next day. She has a sweet and encouraging style, with a lot of knowledge. Highly recommend working with her.”

“Maria has been a complete joy to work with. I’m growing in strength, flexibility, and balance. The overall experience is that I’m winning! Thank you, Maria!”

“So considerate of my goals, current physical state and preferences. Been working with Maria for 15 months. I have better tone, balance, shape, and attitude toward regular fitness. I highly recommend!!”

“Maria is the best kind of “trainer”. She listens, understands, and adapts. Plus she makes it fun!”

“It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Maria. She guides, motivates and inspires. I look forward to my sessions with her, they always leave me energized and ready to take on the day. I also love that other than making sure I have a complete workout she also works on things like balance and strength. Highly recommend her.”

“Maria has been such an excellent trainer- I’m so happy and grateful to have connected with her. She listens to my needs, checks in regularly during our sessions on how I’m feeling, challenges me gently, and I truly feel it’s a very personalized approach. I really enjoy our sessions and look forward to them every week! I can see the results from my workouts! Besides being a great trainer, Maria is also just a very calm, kind, and generous human being. Cannot recommend her enough!”

I have known Maria for several years, first as an instructor and currently in consulting for her practice. I have watched Maria be unique in her ability to bring both gentleness to her work with clients, as well as a strong sense of support in pursuits of personal health and wellbeing. Maria has the ability to see the best in her clients and uses that insight to effectively support and encourage them toward the areas of change and growth that they are desiring. She is able to artfully and compassionately hold space for people as they process what is important to them, and accompany them into planning the next steps of their health and growth. I recommend her without hesitation and encourage both personal training and health and wellness clients to work with her. It’s clear that she loves what she does and I know that enjoyment to be contagious with her clients! —Misha Leigh, WC, NBHWC
