My name is Consuelo Brown and I’m a virtual assistant in my late 30’s. My main health challenges were elevated blood pressure, mobility issues in my legs, and insufficient energy throughout the day. I signed up for the 30-day Health Makeover program, where Maria and I met once a week via video conference for 1 ½ hours. I was in recovery from a car accident six months prior to meeting Maria. I chose Maria because a friend referred me to her services after I told her about some of the challenges I was having with my health, and how that was affecting my work ethic. What drove me to enroll in the program is that I had some major life events coming up, such as my parent’s vowel renewal, and my high school class reunion, and I wanted to both look and feel great while in attendance of those events. I also wanted to be taken off my blood pressure medication. I had tried to solve the problems by going to my doctor repeatedly to obtain physical therapy for my mobility issues, but the process was taking longer than anticipated. I was placed on blood pressure medication after several elevated blood pressure readings. I also consumed obscene amounts of coffee to stay awake during working hours. My experience during our sessions was wonderful. The most important thing that I learned is that taking time for myself and my health is just as important as the time I donate to others, which has helped me in every area of my life. During our video sessions we would discuss important topics such as: building a balanced nutrition template that works for me, timing my sleep, water, and meal intakes, and their importance, stress management techniques, such as breathing and appreciation in the moment, and answering questions I had about nutrition and exercises. After completing the program, I felt accomplished and armed with the knowledge I needed to start and maintain my success. My weight has dropped, my blood pressure has been maintained so much that my doctor took me off the medication, my mobility has greatly improved, and I can face the major life events coming up with a sense of happiness and confidence. The benefits of this program are only limited by the effort and mindset that you bring into it at the beginning.

I would recommend this program to anyone at a crossroads in your health because change is scary, but necessary, and in order to accomplish the change you seek successfully, help is needed. I believe that programs like the 30 Day Health Makeover will be the motivation that is needed to start a life revolution that will benefit not only yourself, but all those around you to start seeking life changes of their own.

I met Maria at the 2017 PCOS Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia and was lucky enough to win the 6 week Lifestyle Bootycamp for PCOS Online Group Program with her, which I was very excited about. I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself in for, but I knew that I was ready for whatever advice, help, and support she had to offer, which was very transformational for me in my walk and journey with PCOS. Maria approached health not from a quick fix way, but rather from a very thought provoking way that was centered around mind, body, values, goals, lifestyle, mindset, positivity, mood, happiness, and determination about what was really important for me to achieve as an individual during this program. It was centered around moving forward as a group, but also specific to each individual that was involved, which for my group, was about 5 of us. Each week we all met through video chat online and shared ah-ha moments, goals we met, and things we had struggled with during the week. Maria would give feedback, have us take a "mini-vacation" and then go through one of her different pillars of health (values and goals, healthy diet, water, sleep, stress, exercise) to build a well rounded foundation for health, wellness, happiness, and joy. You can tell that Maria is very passionate about her clients and the work that she does. She believes in what she teaches and is always stretching to better herself as well as you. She takes the time to push you forward and hold you accountable to the goals you set out for yourself. I really wanted to gain more control over my body and areas in my life where I felt out of control. During her program, I felt my heart reawaken to the things I want to get out of life, by becoming aware of my own self-limiting beliefs as well as what I want to get out of life, and what makes me happy. It may seem silly, but taking the time at the beginning of her course to focus on and write down my values and beliefs really helped to center me before the program. You will definitely get out of the program what you put into it. Maria provides incredible motivation, a lot of helpful resources and insight, and a support group of other women. I would highly recommend this program for any woman looking to achieve a more balanced and healthy lifestyle, as well as gain more control over her own joy, body, and life. I of course especially recommend it to women who have PCOS as well. Also as a side note, Maria sent me a sweet card at the New Year for extra motivation, which was unexpected and very sweet! Looking forward to a FABULOUS 2018 and continued involvement in her Facebook and online groups! � More...

The Lifestyle Booty Camp for PCOS Online Group Program was an awesome experience!! I have been struggling through weightloss for a couple of years and was trying to identifying what the missing parts were. I met Maria at a PCOS conference back in 2016, and when I found out about this program I jumped at the chance! Being around others with similar goals helped foster an environment that was warm and allowed me to really open and be receptive. I was able to identify some patterns that have caused me to block my own success and begin to push past them. I highly recommend this program to any woman struggling through PCOS and looking to improve her health - and her life!! More...

The Lifestyle Booty Camp for PCOS Online Group Program was the answer to questions I've had for years. I have struggled most of my life with weight fluctuations and low-energy. After being diagnosed with PCOS four years ago, much of my troubles made sense. I wanted to take reclaim control of my body and my health, so I began to research and implement different things, but nothing seemed to work: that is, until Maria's Lifestyle Booty Camp. The lessons learned in the Booty Camp have helped me to improve my nutrition, exercise and sleep habits. Simple modifications have made big differences. And Maria was amazing; she's the perfect blend of compassion and accountability. She cares about the success of her clients, checking in regularly and always giving us her best. These few weeks have changed my life and I highly recommend it.

I met Maria at a conference she was speaking over a year ago. We did an in person coaching session for a few months which was awesome, but after a year I felt like I needed some extra support to get my habits back on track. I had a busy year with so much of my life changing, but I knew Maria could help me refocus on my health so that I could keep progressing on this journey. This lead me to join the Lifestyle Booty Camp Online Group Program. Even though it was online, the energy, support, and knowledge that Maria provided was just as awesome as it was during our in-person sessions a year ago. The women who were in the program and joined the weekly chats and daily online check ins were also great accountability to keep on track in implementing Maria's teachings. I got my sleep back on track, participated in the daily work out challenges, and remembered all the healthy foods that I had pushed to the back of my pantry which I started cooking with again. All of this built up my energy and each week and as I started making small changes, the next week I felt more and confident enough to take on another change. Thank you Maria for offering this awesome online program! It was the boost that I needed to refocus during the holidays and prepare me to start 2018 on the best track :) More...

I am a busy caregiver and I have failed to make myself a priority. So, in an attempt to change things around I signed up for and participated in Maria’s Live Online Group Personal Training Class.

Joining the class was the best decision! Maria’s encouraging words and friendly manner made me feel comfortable from the start. I felt her personal interest in and genuine concern for me.

Before class she emailed videos explaining and demonstrating the exercises. I really appreciated this because it eliminated the anxiety of what to expect and it helped me prepare for the class.

I especially appreciated Maria's explanation of the critical importance of exercise for brain health. It was a real “light bulb" moment for me especially in terms of helping me take the necessary steps towards making my own health a priority.

I believe that Maria’s concept of live online personal training is great! She is available at a time that can accommodate YOUR schedule from the comfort of your home. You can't ask for much more than that. Maria also keeps the classes small so that she can give each person individual attention. She is watching YOU - making sure your movements are correct and providing constant commendation, motivation and encouragement, which I think is fantastic.

For all the reasons I mentioned above I would wholeheartedly recommended Maria for one-on-one or group online personal training classes. She eliminates all the reasons we come up with not to make ourselves a priority. So, go ahead… choose YOU… sign up now!! More...

Thank you Maria for a great class a couple of weeks ago. I was a little worried that I would have trouble doing the exercises due to a sore hip and the fact that I am overweight. Maria helped to to tweak the exercises to address my limitations and I felt great after the exercises. I exercise 3 to 5 times a week at the gym and pool. I have incorporated Maria's exercises into my routine. I feel they are helping me gain strength and flexibility which I feel are necessary to go about daily activities. I highly recommend this program. I would definitely participate in online classes sometime in the future. More...

Maria--this was an absolutely fabulous class. Well-run, well-organized, good pace, and you made it FUN! (I was sore the next day, so I guess I needed it! ) I really didn't think it would personally do me much good, but with the two-way video capability, I could see you and the other participants and I was able to adjust my exercise to get the most out of it. I liked that you timed us and kept us on schedule. I know I could have gone slower if I'd needed to, but the group energy made me want to get it done in a good time frame. Thanks so much! More...

Hola, i was (am) one of the fortunate people to try the health program with Maria. I am a 43 year old school teacher with a little boy. As my life gets very busy and at time stressful i never had enough time to care for me in the simplest ways such as working out or go get a massage or even embrace a very healthy diet. Being Italian and loving food so much i've always thought that eating pasta with vegetables is the best choice in eating healthy. Obviously there is so much more to explore! With Maria i started the Jumpstart Your Energy and Confidence 30 Day program back in March. I was ready to make some changes in my health, body weight and daily routine. I entered the program weighting 160 lbs and lost 6 lbs by the end of the month. At first i entered the program expecting to lose more lbs than i did but as I worked on myself and the goal I realized that it was more about the journey and not the immediate results. of course I gained lots of confidence and learned more structure and awareress about the foods, the exercise and the stress management. I was getting frequent headaches previously to the program and I informed Maria that this was also a major concern for me to function on my daily tasks. the new lifestyle embraced through the program (daily exercise activities, balanced diet and more water intake) helped reduce the recurrence of the headaches. Amazing! What I loved overall about this experience is that Maria pushed me to overcome the obstacles I created in my head. She is also very flexible with her availability and very informed about the program. Also, she has inspired me to look at this journey not as a temporary but permanent lifestyle. More...

Before starting our workouts she would take the time to see what was going on with me personally and answer any weight loss questions I had.

First, I would like to say how much I enjoyed an on-line group class with Maria. I am older (64) but flexible, with farm animals and daily chores. I found that I was doing several of the exercises which I did at home on my own incorrectly. I am NOT good at pushups - upper body strength could definitely be improved, I really need to work on my abdominals, and I definitely need to work harder at pushing myself. Maria both gently corrected my form (squats, pushups, etc), encouraged us all to greater levels than I do, and made the class fun. I really received a much better workout, AND got my heart rate up where it should be during exercise, than I have done on my own. She makes allowances and/or changes the exercise for physical differences and levels among the group, so it is a challenge for each person, but not beyond that person's ability. I enjoyed it so much, I am enrolling in group classes now. I highly recommend Maria! More...

I met Maria at an event she was speaking at. I had recently started a new job, moved back home to Atlanta and got engaged. After a few hectic years post college graduation, I was finally ready to focus on myself and my health goals. I researched weight loss endlessly, but never found anything that worked for me. I was tired of losing the same 10 lbs over and over again. I did the 3 coaching month program with Maria because I needed to get some real answers about how to reach my health goals and really needed someone to hold me accountable! It was a tough, but fun, journey. Maria made the science behind weight loss easily understandable and that fundamentally changed how I treat my body. Maria challenged me, supported me, and gently guided me back in the right direction when I got off course. I have knowledge, skills, and habits that are priceless and will help me be healthy for the rest of my life! Never thought I would be so happy drinking green smoothies every morning! Thank you Maria!

I am a stay at home mom, and I went to Maria to help me lose some post-baby weight and get fit. Maria is such an encouragement! She certainly expects cooperation and pushes you beyond what you think you can do, but she also knows when you are pushed as far as you can go. She has great tact and knows how to be gentle while being driven to help you achieve the success she knows you have within you. Maria also makes working out fun! We had lots of laughter during our workouts.After one week of mild food modifications and exercising 3 times with Maria, I could begin to tell a difference in the way my body looked and felt. Every few days I thought that my body looked as good as it could because it looked better than it ever had, and then a few days later, I looked even better! Doing what Maria says actually helps your health improve, as well as the way you look. I am VERY pleased with my results.As far as numbers go, I lost 17lbs, BMI went from 22 to 18.8, body fat from 32% to 21%, increased skeleton muscle from 17.7% to 32.7%. I lost 5.5in in my waist, 5.5in in hips, and body age from 31 (actual age is 29) to 19!I highly recommend Maria to anyone who wants to learn more about food, the body, and who wants to get healthier.

Maria is incredibly bright, passionate and personable and really loves her work. I had considered myself fit and healthy, but she opened my eyes to ideas about nutrition and fitness that will greatly improve the quality of my life. The depth and breath of her knowledge were applicable and timely and will be easy to implement at a minimal cost. For example, in under an hour, we went through an entire grocery store, Aldi, and I can now dissect product ingredients, choose organic where appropriate, and keep my family healthy without breaking the bank.I now choose a salad over fries, have a great 10 minute stretching routine, and have dramatically cut my sugar intake. During my 4 one on one sessions, I received simple, clear advice and hands-on training that might have taken weeks in a university course. You have made a huge difference in the quality of our lives!
