Thank you so much!
Maria recommended that I start with her online 'Healing IBS" Program and I was so excited to get started with her methods immediately. She is lovely to listen to, and the course is well-organized into manageable chunks where you can get started with the most critical parts first as you learn.
Also I do not like the word life changing I could not think of a better word to describe her work.
Maria has such passion and knowledge and I have ever since I met her recommended and sent her everyone I care about in this world!
I live on the other side of Sydney so it would have been very hard to have to go in and consult with Maria face to face but we managed to do our consultations via Skype which worked very well.
I've got a new lease on life and I'm super grateful.
She has helped heal my chronic eczema, as well as helping me thoroughly understand its causes. I had spent two years going back to the doctor and given endless steroid creams, which masked the underlying problem. I am so grateful to have found Maria; she is incredibly knowledgeable and has given me a real understanding of my body. I am regaining full health and I feel so much better for it, mentally and physically (anxiety has gone and digestion is massively improved).
Thanks so much Maria!
We are only 2 months into working with Maria and I am just so excited with our progress so far!
My son was diagnosed with Autism at age 4 and is now 10. Over the years I have done a multitude of Integrative Health approaches with him and all with varying degrees of success. I have also done tonnes of research and learning myself on a lot of these factors - Pyrrole, MTHFR, Gut Health and functionality, neurotransmitter synthesis etc... I honestly feel like I know A LOT more than most Dr's on all this stuff, I even started a Science Degree (but no time to study ?).
Yet I was still left feeling a bit lost and to be honest VERY overwhelmed. No practitioner I had ever met was able to bring it all together for me in one place and look at it all holistically to truly support my boy.
Late 2017 things got really tough for us and 2018 started of dreadfully, I just knew I needed to dig even deeper. I took my son out of school and started the GAPS diet to try and address his increasingly debilitating issues. In desperation one night (at around 3am I think) I googled some of his symptoms and magically stumbled upon Maria. I booked the 15 minute chat with her and I knew straight away, once we got talking, that she knew her stuff and could help us.
We have done tests with Maria that I had never heard of before (and I thought we had done it ALL) and we have discovered imbalances in him that answer A LOT of the questions that just weren't improving with his health despite loads of supplements and interventions previously.
We have a lot to deal with and the road will be quite long I think but for the first time I finally feel like I have someone BY MY SIDE who listens, who cares and who is not going to just give up on this complex kid (as so many others have). I think Maria secretly enjoys the challenge ? I'm also not feeling so overwhelmed, despite the amount of issues we have to deal with, because Maria delivers the blows with love and kindness and with a confidence that the issues can not only be addressed but that in time they can improve. I truly feel like I have her in my court guiding me and supporting me and this is all done over the phone and Skype.
In less than 8 weeks we are already seeing huge improvements, so much so that we are having a meeting about transitioning back to school tomorrow ?
For anyone parenting a child with these issues, and especially as a solo parent, you would know how isolating this journey can be. Even family and close friends just don't really get what we go through day in day out. I feel as though in 2 short months Maria has moved up my list of most trusted people to share my true feelings about these parenting challenges and that my angst will be met with understanding and compassion and not only that but sharing also helps my son as well. A win win all round.
Thank you so much Maria ? I am so delighted we found you and I hope others with kids like me will give your services a try as you truly make a difference with what you do ❤️”
Never did I believe that hormones and stress could play such a pivotal role in my general health and well-being. In less than 8 months, the goitres in my thyroid halved in size and I lost over 10kg. That was all due to hormone testing and diet changes that you recommended.
I've learnt a lot through our consults. The most notable lesson for me is that cookie cutter approaches don't work - especially for us females we're we are all individuals with different genetic and hormonal make ups.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your service to any friends and family who are looking at bettering their health and well being.
Thanks for helping me get back on track!
She will tell you all about the bad stuff in there and also the good stuff healing you from the inside out..
Highly recommend working with this gifted lady.
After attending approx 13 conventional doctors and two specialised doctors and lots of money later I finally gave up on the conventional system towards the end of 2014 start of 2015. My attempt to find answers with GPs were clearly unsuccessful and when I broke down and cried my eyes out after my last visit I said enough is enough.
It was then that I started researching and trying to build my health on my own. I had been to see two naturopaths that were helpful but just not exactly what I was after. I searched the Internet, I bought books, continued to read and change my diet. Then the changes started. A work colleague recommended I visit Maria and it has been the best decision I have ever made.
My first visit to Maria was in Sept/October 2015 and I continue my visits today and will do into the future. My experience with nutritional help has been excellent and so beneficial to me. Maria uncovered so many underlying issues no doctor had even considered and things I never even heard about. Most importantly Maria explains the conditions and how your body works approaching everything holistically which is excellent. After 5 years I'm starting to make a mend through supplementation and good nutrition. I have enjoyed the whole experience and even refer my friends to help with there issues. I would recommend anyone see a well trained and experienced naturopath/nutritionist if they have ongoing health issues. Most importantly they listen, they care and they are there to help. When you're in chronic pain for so long it's extremely helpful and comforting to feel this. You develop a bond and a trusting relationship that will last forever and something I truly appreciate.

I decided to book an appointment with Maria. During my first consultation I was blown away. A comprehensive assessment of my health and compete medical and family history was undertaken and after all these years, someone had finally listened to me. She immediately put together a tailored eating plan for me. I was on this eating plan for two weeks and during that time I did not experience any stomach issues. This was a miracle, as for the first time in 6 years I did not have diarrhea. Since then my food plan has been continually modified to ensure my body can absorb all the nutrients and minerals I had lost during the 6 years of being unwell. I undertook a range of tests that gave me answers as to why I was so unwell and also undertook further thyroid tests as the doctors failed to advise me that I had an under-active thyroid based on the results of my previous blood tests.
My life and health has completely turned around. I feel healthy, I have energy again, I've had no stomach issues, my thyroid is normal, my work performance has improved as my concentration has improved and most importantly, my relationship with loved ones has improved. I'm thrilled that I can live my life feeling normal again and I truly feel my nutritionist is to thank and I will be forever grateful.
Bottom line – Excellent. It surprised me how much I gained from a simple wish to know how to make sauerkraut! I learned heaps in such a short time. And it was fun.
Thanks Maria. Hope to join more of the workshops."
