Maria is a nutritional consultant whose philosophy on food is founded around the idea that a balanced approach to diet delivers powerful benefits both for the body and the mind.
She specialises in wellness programmes, tailored to the individual, that encourage the body’s natural cleansing cycle while simultaneously promoting multiple benefits including; enhanced immune system functionality, improved digestive health, increased energy levels and improved skin complexion.
Maria is also a RYT 200 certified yoga instructor who has been practicing for over a decade. She teaches energetic flowing classes with a basis in her traditional Ashtanga practice.
She brings together her two passions of nutrition and yoga on her retreats and workshops.
Maria has always enjoyed an interest in all things wellness. Having spent six years working in finance, she then decided to dedicate her passion for health and well-being through nutrition and yoga, to her full-time work and so founded LifeCleanse.
The philosophy behind LifeCleanse is one of empowerment through education. Having spent time studying internationally in some of the longest-established centres with world-renowned experts in the fields of wellness and nutrition, Maria is equipped to provide clients with simple tools and plans that can be easily adapted to fit their lifestyle and assist them in both achieving and maintaining long term optimal health.
Keenly aware that a ‘one size fits all’ approach to nutrition can be counterproductive, she works with clients on an individual basis tailoring bespoke plans based on their personal needs and objectives.
Maria holds a certificate in Plant Based Nutrition from the Center of Nutrition Studies at Cornell University and is a Certified Health Educator from the world-renowned Hippocrates Health Institute. She is a member of the Federation of Nutritional Therapy Practitioners and the Irish Association of Live Blood Analysis Practitioners as well as an approved supplier of Lorisian Healthcare Laboratory Testing Services.
