Words of Praise

"I was recommended Maria by a friend’s mother who was at the time living in Spain recovering from colon cancer treatment. I had just been diagnosed with stage 3C colorectal cancer and was lost, dazed and scared. My fear was at first the shock of rapid weight loss., it can happen fast and eating becomes hard.My muscle mass vanished and I was bombarded with alternative holistic advice and books from all. This bombardment became overwhelming.

Maria helped me slow down and calm the panic ,then discuss nutrition and supplementation to try maintain body weight and lessen the side effects of chemotherapy. Maria has looked after my well-being for the past 14 months during which time I have had 12 cycles of chemotherapy and 28 days of chemoradiation, followed by two pretty epic surgeries. With her experience and support I have learned skills and techniques to bolster my own spiritual practise.We can not get through this stuff alone , we all need a Maria !

I highly recommend her for cancer support and mentorship , she is kind and gentle, incredibly knowledegable and with the experience of her own cancer journey she is able to speak with  first hand knowledge. She’s been there and she is now here and available to help others. Bless you Maria."

"Maria is a fantastic holistic health coach; I am a stage 4 cancer patient and found her sessions invaluable.Maria can guide you through the storm when you cannot think straight and has a very calming manner as well as being very knowledgeable about the world of cancer.Talking things through with her is very powerful, it puts you back in control of your health and its a good feeling knowing you have that support. If you have thought about contacting Maria but never done it for whatever reason, make a commitment to your health and contact her today. You will be glad you did, I am :)"

I met with Maria at a retreat for women with cancer and she was great. Very empathetic due to her own experiences, which is so important when going through this journey - she ‘gets it’. She was calming, a really engaging speaker and really knowledgable. The day retreat was perfect and helped me relax whilst going through a particularly anxious time. Am definitely keen to talk to Maria more about how we can work together in the future, I found her an inspiration and know she would be able to help me in several ways. Thanks Maria.

“Maria is an incredible and inspirational holistic health mentor. As a perimenpausal woman, I wanted to adopt a healthier and more positive lifestyle to see me through this chapter. Maria helped me to identify areas in my life that were not fulfilling, and together we set achievable goals for me to work on. The changes I have made have had a big impact. I loved my sessions, especially the face to face ones. I highly recommend Maria."

“I have had the pleasure of using Maria’s mentoring services during a time that was uncertain and more challenging with lockdown making it harder to access support.

Maria provided a wealth of knowledge, advice and further sign posting, which I would not have known where to start without her. It is a great shame that the NHS do not combine current treatment with a holistic approach or even give the options for holistic support or referrals to people like Maria.

The work book/folder provided has so much amazing information in, recipes, advice, things to think about and reflect on. I would recommend this to those who want to look at the bigger picture, but do not know where to start as there is so much information out there - this course brings it all together for you.We had 6 1hr consultations, some face to face after lockdown and others on Zoom, Maria and I also text in between this for a catch up.

Thank you Maria for making my journey more bearable.”

“Maria joined me and my husband as a guest speaker in our holistic cancer care workshop in Kent. Maria is an excellent speaker. She is also an empathic coach. She has so much knowledge in her field. She explains concepts clearly. Her lived experience as a cancer survivor makes her a great person to help, support and guide individuals with cancer. Highly recommend Maria as a speakerand life coach.”

“Thank you for an incredible day retreat as I recover after having been through bowel cancer. Maria was so supportive and I really enjoyed spending time with the incredible group of women that gathered. It’s only in these safe spaces with others who are going through or have been through cancer that really get it. Maria was so generous and welcoming. Highly recommend working with her. Thank you!”

“Thank you Maria for all our mentoring sessions and your guidance, it has changed the way I see things. I feel empowered to make changes I've wanted for a while. Until now I've been putting them off as I felt they were beyond reach. I'm now much more aware of my outlook on life and I feel more confident about what I genuinely want. I know what my real priorities are and I get less distracted by the less important things. I can only do my best - and I do work hard at that - and that's a good thing. A good enough thing that it makes me genuinely happy when I reflect on it now.So, thank you for making a difference, I think you are a lovely, warm, open person and helping others is your skill, your calling.”

“I’ve attended Maria’s vision board workshop two years in a row now and it’s a brilliant opportunity to focus on the year ahead and visually plan where you want to go with your business. Having my board in front of me throughout the year has really motivated me towards my goals and given me direction and self belief. The community of local business women that Maria has built up is also so friendly, welcoming and supportive, I love going to the Somerset Business Mums meetings when I can - I always come away with a feeling of time well spent.”
