Hi, friend. I'm Maria.
My life has been written in chapters. I started out as an educator, then spent treasured years at home as a stay at home mom. When the time was right, I returned to education as a reading specialist, helping children discover that a story can change everything.
Chris and I have been married for 38 years, and about fifteen years ago our house got quiet. Our kids were grown, and we found ourselves empty nesters, figuring out who we were in this new season together.
When midlife started changing how I felt, I wanted real answers, not another "that's just your age." That search led me to EllieMD, a physician led wellness platform that finally gave me a plan built for where I am.
Chris and I started our routines together, and we've been sharing that journey ever since. Every chapter of my life has taught me something, and now I teach what I've learned the way I always have: clearly, kindly, and one lesson at a time.
