I address the underlying root causes
I believe an integrative approach is the key to wellness. As a Functional Nutrition practitioner, I don’t chase symptoms. I address the underlying root causes of any sign, symptom or disease state. In other words, many symptoms seen are caused by a combination of factors. These can include a variety of genetic or environmental factors, certain food products and chemicals, weak or dysfunctional immune, nervous and digestive systems, and abnormal detoxification. I focus on both the current health challenges and the comprehensive history that lead to their condition.
I will partner with you (or a parent/guardian) to create a customized plan that works with your lifestyle.
My mission is to heal the whole person.
Your physiology and your symptoms are the way they are today because of many factors of your life which are singular to you. You are an individual with a particular history, body, and lifestyle. I work with all of these factors to put all the pieces of the puzzle together to meet your needs, and create a personalized custom-made plan for you.
What is a Functional Nutrition?
Functional nutrition is not a 'one size fits all' discipline. It is a revolutionary way of looking at diet and lifestyle that truly treats you as an individual, and works with your unique needs to help you improve your health with your own genetic make-up, health history, lifestyle, and emotional profile. Everyone has their own bio-individuality – the unique qualities that make up you and only you.
How I will approach your health:
I begin by listening.
I help clients tell their stories, which creates a foundation for healing. It involves a series of steps in order to identify triggers and root causes addressing the imbalances in the body. I take the time to get to know what is really going on in your body, your life, and your health. This enables me to yield the most effective, therapeutic plan to meet your goals.
I focus on teaching my clients about the healing powers of nutrition. Restoring function through diet, lifestyle changes, sleep, exercise, by adding alternative medicines to their recovery plan.
I take holistic health approach, self-care strategies, and anxiety reduction to support quality of life during and after cancer. With a passion spreading a positive message to make health a priority in your lives.

I have been fighting cancer since 2015. As I decided to take a holistic approach, I have tried multiple different procedures, diets, herbal remedies and supplements to ease my condition and heal till I was referred to Maya. Maya started working with me as of December of 2020. She started helping me transform my life. We started by changing my diet, eliminating food that could cause inflammation in my body, focusing on managing my stress and sleep levels. My eyes have been opened to a new way of living and caring for my body and my health. Maya suggested to get additional blood work, checking micronutrients levels, genetic and hormone levels. She had created a program based on those test, adding needed supplements, herbs and food to balance deficiencies. Maya is passionate about helping me to create positive and sustainable relationships with food, exercise and stress. She is all about me becoming healthy, mentally, nutritionally, and physically. I’m still “under construction”, and I’m getting well day by day. I'm more determine in my healing process now than ever before and plan to have long, healthy and happy life. I considered to work with Maya, because she herself has cured her cancer in the past. Maya is kind, understanding, empathetic, non-judgmental, motivating practitioner. She is wise with years of accumulated knowledge in this field, well organized, highly responsive. Thank you Maya

Maya has shown me how to live a healthier life with her coaching.
I started working with Maya 1.5 years ago. I came in with complaints of bloating and feeling heavy in my stomach with pain under right rib with radiating pain to my right shoulder after meals, skin itching, constipation and others issues. First and most importantly Maya focused on both the current health challenges and the comprehensive history that could possibly lead to my conditions. She checked my most current blood test, and my most resent Micronutrient test, where she pointed that I was deficient on some vitamins, minerals and amino acids. She made recommendations on some supplements, digestive enzymes, but mostly she encourage me to get my nutrients through food. Maya recommended to get additional testings to check my microbiome and hormones. Based on those tests she created a program to transform my diet, lifestyle and stress levels . She helped with creating recipes to restore digestive health and balance nutrition. We have been working on balancing my hormones and improving overall immune health. Maya empowering me to see myself as the experts on my own health and circumstances. She helped to transform my health and keeps motivating me. Maya genuinely cares about my success. I built a strong and trusted relationship with her. I do highly recommend Maya

One casual conversation with Maya changed my life!
I am currently in my fifties and all my life I have suffered from constipation and the side effects that come with it. I was talking with Maya about my issue and she mentioned using apple cider vinegar. I thought that may work for others, but there is no way that I can drink vinegar, even tea with lemon has always been too acidic for me. She said, "just pretend you are drinking lemonade, that’s what I do.” The next morning I did exactly that, I made a glass of water with a tiny amount of apple cider vinegar, and drank it, pretending it was lemonade. I continued to drink this day after day, eventually even adding in some more vinegar. After about a week my constipation disappeared! I was shocked, I was sure that I was born with this issue and that nothing could ever change it. But this small piece of advice from Maya did change my life!

Hi, my name is Christy V.
Before I met Maya in March 0f 2023, I had been extremely sick for years and was still going through the process. I can honestly say it was affecting my everyday life, and I was only 43 years old. I would pray daily that God would point me in the right direction, and that's exactly what he did. One day, God put me in the right place at the right time, and I met this wonderful lady named Maya. I explained to Maya that I was suffering from Hashimoto's/Thyroid disease, seizures, Sjogren's, and anxiety, etc. I felt like I had anxiety every single day worrying about all this.
Maya took the time to explain how the body works. I had no idea I was basically making myself sick with the food I was eating and the lifestyle I was living. Maya helped me set goals by designing a personalized plan based on my health status and my lifestyle. She also saggested to a few vitamins that I had never been on my entire life, but didn’t realize how bad my body needed them. I can't even begin to tell you, once I got started with changes, and supplements the amount of energy I got. I couldn't believe it. I stopped getting the horrible headaches. My hair was thinning from having Hashimoto's disease, and over time my hair started feeling so much fuller. My blood pressure leveled out to normal range. I no longer experience joint pain.
Once I started my detox protocol, and supplements, it was the beginning of seeing so much changes. It was unbelievable. Maya is so caring and empathetic, and she cares about her clients so much. She listens to all your concerns, and she has always been there for me if I have a question, no matter what.
We are still in the process, and one thing I will say is when you start feeling better, you don't ever want to go back feeling sick again. Maya has changed my life and my family's life, and that will continue as we progress with the process.
One thing I will say: if you're looking for an amazing, caring, supportive holistic nutritionist who knows her stuff, look no further.
For Maya, most importantly, it's all about her clients and helping them. Thank you, Maya, again for caring enough to go through this journey with me. ❤️❤️ One more thing I want to add is it has taken me a little bit longer because I came into this taking so much medication, so many times when I would try something new, it would interact with my medications the doctors already had me on. I was also scheduled for a full hysterectomy/Thyrodectomy surgery, that I'm not getting done because I don't needed anymore, because of the hard work Maya and I have been putting in. It's definitely been a process for Maya and me. But we continue to work together, and she never gives up. Thank you again, Maya! 🙏❤️
