I started working with Mariana after having my second baby and was at my heaviest weight. From our first meeting virtually, she was very understanding and listened to what my expectations were. Working with her for 6 weeks was the best investment I have given myself. It’s changed my life and the way I look at food. Am losing weight steady while also enjoying food! When I had bad weeks, she took time to listen to me and come up with a plan. She gave me realistic goals and evidence based advice. She’s soo calm and kind and always available to answer questions. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend her enough. More...

My journey with Mariana started in October. By following her advice, her knowledge, her mentoring, I have managed to change my eating habits and also to feel confident about what I eat. I have managed to lose 6kg and the journey continues. Mariana has been an amazing support and I couldn't have done it on my own. I wholeheartedly recommend her. More...

Mariana is very knowledgeable and has helped me to build a solid foundation to work on going forwards. She has explained the reasoning behind the things she has suggested for me which I found beneficial. Our sessions were fluid, we discussed issues, solutions and products/supplements that would help with my journey. We started by addressing small things that over time will make a real difference, we then moved on to building my knowledge around different food groups and discussing various options (I am a fussy eater, but Mariana ensured I had lots of variety and options within my comfort zones). Marianna was always a quick response away and happy to answer any questions I had. Overall this has been a really positive experience and I hope to be able to continue on the path we have set.

I feel grateful, more energetic, and confident that I’m doing the right things for my health! When I booked my first session with Mariana, I was struggling with losing weight, constipation, and low energy, and I was generally feeling unfit and unhealthy! Her nutrition recommendations were spot on. I see fantastic improvements in my weight and energy levels, no more medication for constipation, and I also managed to make significant lifestyle changes to keep me on the right track! A Big Thank you. More...

I had a great experience working with Mariana and would highly recommend her. I have been trying to lose weight for a number of years now, and although I tried many different diets, nothing worked for me.
With Mariana, things were different; everything she explained made sense, and the advice and recommendations worked brilliantly. During the one month she assisted me, Mariana went above and beyond to make sure I stayed on track and got the results that I wanted. Very pleased 😊

Thanks to Mariana and her support, I feel more energetic, my health has improved so much and I am more motivated to look after myself.
She approached me with empathy and kindness and believed in me, that helped me stay on track and keep going when I felt down and wanted to slip back into my old habits.

How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
I believe what we eat has the potential to nurture or jeopardize our health and well-being. For me, eating stands for nourishing and supporting life. This is why I consider food as medicine and the act of eating as more than just providing energy; it is an act of love and appreciation for the body and soul.
What do you love most about your job?
Interacting with people, listening to their stories, learning from them, supporting them on their journey, sharing knowledge and experience, and constantly researching, testing and applying new evidence.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always been passionate about healthy eating and living, but my health issues motivated me to learn how to use this passion to nourish my body, mind and spirit to stay healthy and well for longer. Having suffered from polycystic ovary syndrome and related symptoms like weight gain, high blood sugar, insulin resistance, sugar cravings, etc., and successfully managing to overcome all these issues through a well-balanced diet and lifestyle, I am excited to be able to share my experience and support other people that may find themselves stuck in a similar situation.
