In addition to Maria’s clinical work, Maria’s background and knowledge broadens to the media sector, as she worked as an Audience Producer within the ABC Television Network.
Maria’s passion for nutrition, food, and media extends to some of her favorite activities, which include: cooking authentic Greek dishes, planning health and wellness inspired getaways for family, friends and clients, exploring the dining scene in NYC and cities while traveling around the world, and sharing her nutrition and wellness knowledge with others through her social media platform account @ygeianutrition.
Providing clients with individualized care and support, Maria emphasizes the importance of educating her clients on proper and balanced nutrition with a focus on sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes that enhance their quality of life while embracing the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Maria has been deeply inspired by her Greek roots. Her time in Greece over the years has given her the opportunity to learn the benefits of the Mediterranean lifestyle first hand. Whether incorporating family recipes of high quality and nutritious foods in daily meals or enjoying relaxing escapes to the beautiful seas of Greece, the simplicity of the Mediterranean lifestyle continues to display its many positive benefits in not only her own personal health journey but has also given her the necessary tools and knowledge to share with her clients.
