Real People, Real Testimonies

Maria has helped me and my family in more than one way! 

I first started working with Maria when I had horrible eczema all over my eyes and neck out of complete nowhere. She got me on a gut cleanse that included greens, colostrum (obsessed) and root clean slate & restore. After a month of usage I had zero flare ups (4 months later too!) I also haven’t been sick at all throughout the winter months. Most recently I had another issue with a recurring yeast infection. Maria also cleared that without antibiotics! Lastly my son has had an ongoing rash that Maria is working with us on (testing old historic house for lead & asbestos) but in the meantime it’s under control utilizing her protocols and recommendations.Maria is my go to person before a traditional doctor. Always praise her to everyone I know!

I’m forever thankful to Maria for her dedication to helping families who want natural ways to heal.

Our Daughter was diagnosed with Dyslexia in kindergarten. Upon starting her school journey into a specialized school for dyslexia, the teachers notice it was hard for her to stay focused. She was unorganized, inattentive and was struggling to remember her daily tasks. When a teacher suggested testing for ADHD and potential medication, my heart sank. I knew the side effects of stimulants and what it could do to my beautiful child’s personality. Determined NOT to medicate, I turned to natural ways to help. I reached out to Maria for help. Interior a matter of weeks we noticed a difference. We followed and continue to follow her protocols. Our family has changed from a toxic lifestyle to one that embraces nature to cure first before conventional means. My entire family now follows this protocol—we’ve not been as sick as years past. I’m forever thankful to Maria for her dedication to helping families who want natural ways to heal. I would definitely recommend anyone searching for answers to reach out. It’s not a sprint but more a marathon—one that takes time and dedication (and sometimes people thinking you’re completely nuts!). My children are worth the investment!

Maria is the only person in Wilmington who has given me hope on my health journey!

Maria has been an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a family member with sudden onset of seizures. After visiting with numerous doctors and completing what felt like unnecessary  and invasive tests, we decided to find a more holistic route and found Maria. She listens and engages, asks questions, gives recommendations, and truly cares about her clients. After consulting with Maria, performing  simple, non-invasive tests in the comfort of our home and following her protocols, we were able to remain seizure free for 7 months without medication. If there is an episode, Maria continues to work  with us and truly works to determine root cause factors. I would highly recommend anyone with a health concern to work with Maria because she will provide lifestyle changes and dietary advice that will improve your health and quite possibly change your life. She’s the only person in Wilmington who has given me hope on my health journey.
