Why move?
I move for my mental health. I'm motivated by the promise of improved focus, enhanced mood, and reduced stress - and movement rarely disappoints. Regular activity also helps expand my capacity to endure discomfort and develops my resilience in the face of stress... something all of us could use a little more of these days.
Do you want to experience these benefits too, but you don’t know where to start, or maybe you feel you don't have the time or energy?
I design programs that help regular, busy people like you start moving and stay moving. I guide you in developing a unique and sustainable movement practice that is customized to accommodate your real life.
In addition to technical instruction, I’ll help you develop a stronger sense of discipline and self-accountability. This teaches you how to maintain a consistent routine and allows you to continue achieving your goals long after our work together has ended.
In addition to independent coaching clients, Maria currently serves as an activity instructor with the Keep Your Head Up Foundation in Waterloo,
and in Fitness and Wellness at the University of Prince Edward Island.
“There is a balance of a familiar pattern and ever-creative and challenging parts of the workout, and lots of suggestions to tailor it for your needs and abilities.”

"Maria creates a judgment-free zone with clear expectations from the start. She makes everything seem approachable but still structured and educational. She is encouraging without being annoying."
