I hired Maria for my mom and she was great! Although I didn’t exercise with her directly, I did have a great experience with being able to easily connect with Maria in regards to changes to my mom’s schedule. She also was extremely prompt, and accommodating. After talking to my mom about the exercises, she reported only positive reviews of Maria and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a well rounded trainer!

Maria was a phenomenal addition to our school’s yoga workshop. She was adored by all the students and brought a calm, joyful energy that immediately set the tone for each session. Her instruction was clear, encouraging, and perfectly tailored to the students’ developmental levels. She managed to make mindfulness feel fun and accessible, helping even our most energetic learners find moments of stillness and focus. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for the kids made a lasting impact on our school culture. We’d welcome her back anytime.

I started needing to learn more about stretching after I started studying tai chi. After searching the web for information on how to gain flexibility, and getting more confused, I decided to hire a trainer. She really helps you put all the information together. The exercises really help too.

Maria is a professional hardworking instructor. We used her 3 times for multiple hours. I would recommend her. Very pleasant to deal with.

I would highly recommend Maria. She understands the body mechanics and is helping me prepare for my first half marathon in a few months! She challenges me every day in fun way
