You're not alone. I help my clients discover how to nourish their bodies so they feel better in and about their bodies. Stay accountable to your goals as you shifting away from an "all or nothing" diet mindset and continue to see results. Maya has taught me how to adjust how I pair different food groups during meals and snacks throughout the day so I can still eat the foods I love and lose weight.
This is the first time in my life I've been able to lose 9 pounds in a healthy way that is sustainable long term with my lifestyle. After eating a low-carb, high-fat diet for several years, I went to Maya to transition to a more balanced diet and lose 15 pounds. She provided a sensible plan for weight loss that incorporated healthy carbs and encouraged me to keep a food journal.

A vegetarian since age 18, my mom taught me the importance of nourishing your body with whole foods. She taught me the basics of cooking and how to fuel your body without meat. I was interested in nutrition but didn't consider it to be a career until five years after I'd graduated from college. I was living in Australia where I was learned about the cattle trade and how cruelly these animals were treated.
What this is: a roadmap so you can put an end to diet frustration, weight cycling and feeling overwhelmed. You'll get a customized plan that focuses on how to balance your meals, what foods help you stay full, how to save time at the grocery store and how order from your favorite restaurant. For added accountability between sessions, you'll get access to an app-based food journal.

Maya has been so helpful in figuring out how to make shifts and changes to my normal routine that don't feel like deprivation, but have a real impact on my overall health and lifestyle. I really appreciate the way she is willing to work with whatever circumstances or craziness my schedule throws at her (learning to eat better while traveling, for example), and is always looking for solutions that don't feel tricky.

Maya is an amazing nutrition coach and has been right from the start of our sessions! She patiently listens to my needs, my challenges and provides very tailored options catered to what I need and whats sustainable for me. Since working with Maya, I've effortlessly lost 20lbs without ever feeling restricted. I feel much more empowered and I have a much better relationship with food. I highly recommend working with Maya especially if you're overwhelmed with so much conflicting information around what's healthy and what isn't.

I had been struggling with crashing in the afternoon almost daily for many weeks. After my meet and great with Maya, I decided to give a three month session a go. Working together with her, we examined some food behaviors and made some changes to my diet. I followed her advice on salt, caffeine, and vegetable intake. At the end of our time together, I had gone a whole week without crashing in the afternoon. I'm really jazzed about this and glad to get additional time and energy back in my day.

I just wanted to leave a review for the initial call. If anyone out there is like me and is on the fence about even setting up the initial free phone call, this is your sign to do it. Maya is very kind and helpful. You can feel that she genuinely wants to help people through their pregnancy. I was afraid that she would really try to push her program and that would be the entire call, and she didn't. She explained what it is and the benefits, but that wasn't the entire call. She wanted to get to know me and what I was looking for in the program. I also had some fear that maybe she would

Before starting to work with Maya, I didn't have a plan and my meals were all over the place. I wasn't sure how much I needed to eat, how to balance my meals, and I felt super anxious about how much I was eating. After working with Maya, I now have a better understanding of how to eat nourishing food and feel great doing it!
I am less anxious and stressed around food, especially when going out to eat, knowing that I have a plan and structure.

Working with Maya made me realize this journey is not about giving into the hype of trying new diets or fads, but rather going back to the basics and fueling our bodies with proper nutrition. Although my journey is still going, Maya gave me all the tools to be successful through this journey and made it super simple to follow. She helped guide me through portions and how to balance my meals better. She was attentive and available to answer all my questions and helped me feel satiated without having to give up treats completely. This program helped me see the progress on the scale that I hadn't

My personal journey in meeting health goals is not over; however, now, more than ever, I feel better prepared for success. Maya gave me all of the knowledge, tools, support, encouragement, and understanding I needed to get more than I had hoped for out of this endeavor.
My husband asked me quite frankly, if I could have been successful independently in finding a means for weight loss. He's the kind of guy that loves numbers, so monitoring his macros and practically doing calculus before a meal excites him. I am the complete opposite. I never want to look at, or think about calories. Also

Maya taught me how to stay full longer by creating balanced meals and snacks. She also taught me the value of measuring portions, even for "healthy" foods, which can make a big difference. She partnered with me on tracking my progress in ways that worked for me, not just by using the scale. I am so grateful!

Working with Maya has been amazing! For me has been always hard to control my diet unless I have a frequent meeting with a nutritionist. Maya has really helped me understand my body and the importance of my daily choices and how I can live a healthy live without feeling I’m on a diet. I’ve worked with her for 2 months, and the results are great! Slow and steady weight loss without feeling extremely restricted. I’ve been able to go on vacation and enjoy every second of it, eating delicious meals, and making better choices. I really recommend Maya! I’ll be working with her for a longer time

After not being able to meet my health and fitness goals with trainers for quite some time, I decided to meet with Maya for nutritional direction. Maya is fantastic! She helped with meal planning, portioning, and choosing healthy options. Maya was always willing to answer any questions I had through our time working together. Highly recommended Maya and her services!

My experience with Maya was extremely positive. I’ve always eaten pretty healthy, but my portions were always huge. Maya helped me figure out the right serving sizes and the balance of the various food groups (carbs, protein, fat). You are encouraged to log in what you eat by simply taking a picture of your meal with a short description. She always made sure that I wasn’t feeling hungry and that I liked what I was eating. This made my weight loss experience more enjoyable and easy, I started feeling more confident in my body and saw huge results! For anyone that wants to lose weight, but not

Maya was great to work with! She is extremely responsive, positive, and informative. She helped me understand nutrition basics and how to put together meals that were flexible, but still healthy. I really appreciated that she even helped me look at restaurant menus to figure out what choices to make there. I'll be able to take the guidance she gave me forward as I continue my healthy eating journey.

Maya is INCREDIBLE to work with. For someone who knows so much, she approaches the subject matter with humility and grace. Whether it be questions or confessions about my diet and nutrition, she's always so warm and knowledgeable.
Plus, we did a grocery store tour where we bought my real groceries. Throughout it, she was patient with my zillions of questions, helpful with my chocolate addiction and fun.
I'd recommend her to anyone!

Maya is excellent. I had never worked with a nutritionist before and went to Maya when I was feeling very lost regarding nutrition, weight management and general health after a very tough year. She is extremely responsive and gave me a lot of recipes, a general portion/eating guide, gave me specific recommendations for restaurants and we had a weekly check in. She completely changed my outlook on what to eat and I lost 8 pounds in under two months without exercising on a regular basis and just focusing on what I put into my body.

I was very happy with my experience with Maya. She is very informative and does a great job with breaking down the reasoning and explanations for me to understand. I've only worked with her for 3 weeks and I already found a nutrition routine that is surprisingly easy for me to incorporate into my life style. She's also super positive and easy to talk to; I never felt ashamed to be honest with her if I didn't stick to the plan on certain days. I'm still learning how to balance life and food, but with Maya's help and guidance I know I am on the right track. I highly

As a company striving to set the standard for work/life balance in the consulting industry, West Monroe prides itself on taking a holistic approach to providing our people with the best tools possible—for life inside and outside of work. From eating on the road to business dinners, consulting presents a unique set of challenges that make it very hard to find nutritional balance.

Maya was great to work with! She was extremely responsive and supportive throughout the process, and cares a lot for her clients and figuring out solutions that work for the individual. I felt like I came out of our time together with a much better understanding of balance, healthy eating, and small changes I could make to my diet to feel better overall.
I'd highly recommend working with Maya if you feel stuck and need a change!

Maya is amazing! Whether you need advice as to what to order at a restaurant (she will literally go over any menu that is sent to her), what to eat at home for meals and snacks, or what items to buy at the grocery store (including her favorite brands - which were all great), she is always available to give suggestions and advice. She offers a variety of options, so you do not feel like you are on a strict diet. Additionally, she is incredibly approachable and easy to connect with, which made sessions enjoyable and something I looked forward to. I highly recommend her services!

I attended the Nutrition @ Chill interactive nutrition workshop that Maya led earlier this spring (on actual Cinco de Mayo, no less) and was impressed by Maya's personable demeanor and straightforward approach to the often overwhelming world of nutrition.
Fast forward a couple of months, when I decided to reach out to Maya for a one-on-one consultation. Although I am active, the manner in which I fuel myself, with its occasional emphasis on sugar and Cheetos to get me through low-energy slumps, was not optimal. I decided to meet with Maya last week. The booking process was seamless and Maya
