About Maura
Certified Nutrition & Sports Nutrition Coach
My Story
Having strong Italian roots, food has always been a big part of my life. At a very early age, I was taught that ‘food is love’. So much so, that it became a regular phrase in my kitchen growing up and still to this day! Fortunately, my family growing up did not restrict or diet, and no food was considered ‘bad’. We fueled ourselves with what made us feel good, tasted great and mostly, what made us happy.
​
As I grew older, I learned the power of movement and properly fueling my body. Through trial and error, I learned what a healthy balance for me looked like. I have a love for cooking new recipes, working out, travel, and being outside. I don't believe in over restricting and that everyone should be able to joy the things that fill your cup.
I am invested in finding ways to be happy, strong, confident and energized in my day to day. Having strong habits within movement and nutrition have led me to sustain being the best version of myself, all while embracing the foods and activities that bring me joy!
​
My certifications are in nutrition coaching and sports nutrition coaching through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). With my mindful approach to coaching, every individual has unique needs, goals and motivations. It is exciting for me to learn about my clients and find what fuels their souls.
My Style
I work with each individual to understand your current habits and lifestyle, your goals, and your motivations. It is key for us to establish a relationship of trust and confidence.
​
My focus is on behavior based changes and incorporating new habits to create a healthy lifestyle you can maintain. Things like macro tracking may or may not be for you. We will work together to find which approach fits best into your life and aligns with your goals.
​
Throughout your journey I will educate you so you can make informed decisions. I will be available to answer questions and provide motivation and guidance when needed- you will not be alone during any part of your journey!
