Hello there! and thanks for taking the time to be curious! I'm Maria and founder of Verity Wellness Coaching. I am a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), a Clinical Pharmacist, and a HealthTech professional. But before all of those labels, I am a survivor, a mom and a navigator of complexity.
I specialize in working with women whose bodies - and lives - have gone through significant change.
I offer a unique intersection of biochemistry and behavior:
We will work together to integrate your medical goals with your lifestyle so that your health supports your ambition.
My clients are often navigating transitions such as GLP-1 medications, recovery after cancer, hormonal shifts, burnout, or the physical impact of years in high-pressure careers.
These moments can be life-saving, life-changing, or long-overdue - but they can also leave you feeling disconnected from your body, your routines, and even your sense of self. You may even feel like you are meeting a stranger, when you look at yourself in the mirror.
My work is to help you stabilize, rebuild, and create a way of living that supports you holistically.
Who works with me?
I work with women who are used to holding a lot.
Leaders. Professionals. Caregivers. Survivors.
Many of my clients come to coaching during or after:
They don’t always need motivation.
They need stability, clarity, and a way forward that actually fits their life.
Why Work With Me?
I will provide a unique blend of clinical medication expertise and clinically backed behavioral health coaching, leading to improved health and wellness management; the peace of mind that comes from knowing your lifestyle and your treatment are finally in sync. Coaching is personalized and holistic defined by your own values and vitality.
I come to our coaching sessions with a deep well of empathy because I understand what it is like to have to face one's own life-threatening diagnosis and moments of the aftermath of life-changing crises. I know the fear, the overwhelm, and the exhaustion of transition. So, when you work with me, I will help you build your own roadmap that will actually work for a life that doesn't slow down.
I will bridge the gap between clinical data and the messy, beautiful reality of human transition and help navigate you in the dark no matter where you are. I can help you to integrate medical and lifestyle goals so that you can attain sustainable change. I don't just coach habits; I understand your biochemistry and your prescriptions.
Step-by-step we will find momentum in the direction that you choose and I will support and coach you on your journey.
My approach to health and wellness coaching is holistic, and built on three pillars:
My superpower is hearing what you aren't saying. I help you unpack the overwhelm so you can find your most vital self.
