Hi, I'm Maura
I became a metabolic health coach because after years of suffering with rapid and unexplained weight gain, severe anxiety and horrible self-image, I knew I had to take action and get control of my health. Little did I know that I had undiagnosed Cushing's Disease, which contributed to all of my struggles. I did my research on what would help heal my body and mind and I improved my quality of life beyond what I could've ever imagined (and REVERSED my Type 2 Diabetes!) I am a new person, and I want to help support as many people as I can to regain their health and feel alive again!
-
I promote nutrition that works best for your body (unprocessed and lower carb)- at your speed.
-
I stress the importance of a positive mindset to help you cope with everyday struggles.
-
I encourage self-advocacy when dealing with healthcare providers. Health coaches are helping to shift the current medical model from reactive to preventative and create a movement around habit change and healthy lifestyle design.
Physical Health:
By exploring nutritional strategies, which are evidence-based and scientifically validated, you can greatly improve your health. You CAN actually lose weight in the midst of your metabolic illnesses- I’m living proof that FOOD is Health Care!
Mental Health:
Anxiety and depression go hand-in-hand with chronic health conditions. You may not recognize who’s looking back at you in the mirror, which can take a toll on your self-confidence and body image. It’s an awful state of mind, but you can improve your inner dialogue. It is a fact- FOOD Affects Mood!
Social Health:
Finding your tribe or community is crucial! You need to be surrounded by like-minded friends who will support your quest for wellness and will support you back authentically. You’re an adult- you get to decide who gets your energy!
Self-Advocacy:
You sometimes have to take action when you need and deserve answers. I encourage speaking up for yourself while working collaboratively with your providers. You need to be taken seriously- patient satisfaction is at an all-time low!
