Maria is an experienced Nutritionist, Nutritional Therapist and Integrative Health Coach with over a decade of clinical, corporate wellness and coaching experience.
She is known for taking complex mind–body science and turning it into clear, practical strategies that support meaningful, measurable change. Her work brings together nutritional therapy, psychoneuroimmunology, behaviour change and somatic therapy to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, environment and biology influence their health. Maria uses techniques such as HeartMath® emotional regulation and TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release), a gentle somatic method designed to help the body release stored stress, alongside evidence-based mindset tools that support a shift toward balance and resilience.
Maria’s approach considers all aspects of health — physical, emotional, social and spiritual. She pays close attention to environmental stressors, personal values, daily habits and relationship dynamics, helping clients create alignment in how they live, work and care for themselves.

Maria trained as a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist through the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London with further training in nutrient therapy and functional nutrition. She is also a Certified Somatic Therapist with training in TRE® Trauma and Tensions release and HeartMath® Certification in stress, anxiety and emotional self-regulation, along with additional training in therapeutic sound healing. Maria is professionally registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and The TRE® for All Association (TFA).
