I had the pleasure of working with Maria for several months during a pivotal time in my professional career. She helped me through one of the most stressful periods of my life to date. Her approach is direct and honest, which was much appreciated. Maria challenged me to look at things through different lenses and find my course. I looked forward to our sessions together and always left feeling uplifted and positive after. The work was always mine to do, but having Maria as a sounding board to steer and guide my thoughts was immensely helpful.

Maria’s coaching skills were invaluable in helping me to successfully navigate a particularly difficult situation. She was incredibly supportive and instrumental in guiding my goal-setting. Her valuable insights and constructive suggestions kept me accountable, focused (and sane). Maria is a fantastic coach and I couldn’t recommend her more!

Maria helped me see how I was getting in my own way. Once I got past the story I had about my situation, I was able to get unstuck and take action.

Sometimes you need the focused light of an outside eye to illuminate the path to your true goals. Maria offers not only the wisdom of this eye and radiance of this light, but also the kindness and patience it takes to root you, and help guide you to meet your future self.

I've known Maria for years, and this is the perfect role for her. She is a great listener and gives practical, sound advice that can take you to the next level of personal growth. And as a climber, she has relevant life experiences to draw from, and I have already incorporated what I learned from her workshop into my daily life.

I highly recommend hiring Maria for your fitness business. You will gain insight that is very rarely found anywhere else, and her passion and knowledge is truly exciting to experience.

I didn't think anyone would be able to sort through my thoughts the way Maria does. She doesn't just listen, she feels the emotion behind your words helping her understand and align with you even more. She pulls the right questions at the perfect time creating a strategy that puts the gears in motion to take the next step, and then the next step and so on. I read up on Maria and her bio before our first workshop, but that paled in comparison to actually meeting and sitting down face to face with her. We instantly connected and not only did I feel like I had known her for a long time, but I knew that I was about to indeed know her for a long time!! She's professional, well spoken, raw and genuinely invested in your goals. She's the real deal.

We had the pleasure of experiencing Maria’s Coach the Trainer workshop at a time when we were looking for new ways to support long-term training for our clients. Maria emphasized the importance of setting goals with our clients early and often (with strategies to do so), and her insights brought tremendous energy and excitement to our group. Maria is extremely clear and evidence-based in her approach, and her own experience in the fitness world adds a perspective to her work that is both unique and enlightening. We can’t wait to implement her suggestions and help energize our clients in new ways.

Maria’s insightful and authentic workshop opened up our eyes in a way that we could have never done on our own. Without judgement or guilt, Maria united a room of our trainers to work toward their individual goals while simultaneously understanding the importance of the whole. I was blown away on every level. The work she does is deep and important and just so damn valuable.

Maria spent the afternoon with the staff of S10 Training, providing us with game-changing knowledge and insightful advice to help us better understand our clients. Maria was incredibly interesting, truly captivating our attention for the duration of her presentation, as she tailored her material to our specific industry. We walked away from our session with her feeling confident, and more importantly motivated to apply the techniques we learned with our clients. Thanks to Maria, we’ve been able to get our clients better results, and strengthen our business
