Reconnect With Your Body’s Natural Wisdom

25 + Years Experience

Holistic health, kinesiology, resistance training, intuitive movement, breathwork, sound and embodied practice designed to help you reconnect with your physical, emotional and energetic intelligence.

Your body already knows what it needs.

Sometimes it simply needs the awareness, support and space to remember.

The Intelligence Within You

Every human being carries an extraordinary internal intelligence.

Your body communicates constantly through sensation, movement, emotion, chemistry, breath and instinct.

It tells you when something nourishes you.
It tells you when something depletes you.
It tells you when something in your life needs attention or change.

Yet over time many of us lose connection with these signals.

We override fatigue.
We suppress emotion.
We push through stress.
We stop listening to the subtle messages our body is constantly offering.

Gradually the connection weakens.

But the intelligence within you never disappears.

It simply waits for you to begin listening again.

The Embodied Power of Healing Movement

Holistic movement practice integrating strength training, yoga, dance and meditation to reconnect with body wisdom.

Transformational Breathwork for Clarity

Sound, Meditation and Vocalising Raw Truth

Sound healing and mantra therapy session combined with talk therapy, deep listening, and actionable strategies for emotional balance and personal transformation.”

Moment

Pause

Before reading further, take a moment…

Notice your breath.

Notice how your body feels right now.

Is there tension somewhere?

Is there fatigue?

Is there a place in your body asking for attention?

Our bodies are constantly communicating with us.

Most of the time we are simply too busy to notice.

The work offered here begins with something very simple:

Learning how to listen again.

Through movement, breath, sound, awareness and supportive guidance, you are invited to reconnect with the intelligence already present within you.

From that place, meaningful change becomes possible.

Emerse yourself

Connect for your personalised growth plan.

Reconnect with the Intelligence Already Within You

You may feel tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your own body. Perhaps life keeps repeating patterns, and there’s a quiet sense that something deeper is calling.

Here, you can pause, listen, and remember yourself.
Feel your energy return.
Notice clarity in your mind.
Trust the signals your body has been sending all along.

This work is not about fixing what’s broken. It’s about reconnecting with the wisdom already inside you — so that every choice, every movement, and every breath can support your strength, vitality, and purpose.

For nearly three decades, I’ve guided people through movement, breath, sound, and mindful awareness — helping them step fully into their own intelligence, at their own pace.

If this resonates, the next step is simple: start with a conversation. Together, we can explore where you are, what’s ready to shift, and how to reconnect with the body and life you were meant to live.

The Triad of Truth: Awaken Your Purpose, Embody Your True Human Potential

Learn to move your body with greater awareness, strength and freedom — supporting your physical health, emotional wellbeing, mental clarity and creative expression in a way that respects the unique needs of your body.

Movement practice to strengthen the body, improve balance and alignment, increase flexibility, and release tension.

Step beyond the chatter of the mind and immerse yourself in the healing power of sound.

Through deep listening and vocal expression, the body relaxes, the heart opens, and you begin to find your voice in the world.

Achieve greater awareness and clarity in your life and the world around you. When the body is nourished through mindful nutrition and the gut, heart, and mind are aligned, meditation deepens naturally. From this alignment, intuition arises, opening the door to insight, perspective, and connection with yourself and the world

Experiential Discovery

Body Talks is an embodied movement practice that views the body as a living circuit of intelligence and energy. It describes how mindful movement, breath, and awareness allow the body to communicate where energy is flowing or blocked, and how this deeper listening shifts strength into presence, mobility into ease, and physical practice into self-awareness and alignment with purpose.

Body Talks

Body Talks is not a workout it is a return to the body as a living circuit of intelligence and energy.

Every movement, breath, and sensation is communication. The body reveals where energy flows, where it is held, and where alignment is lost.

When you move with awareness, force dissolves into listening. Strength becomes presence. Mobility becomes freedom. Breath becomes guidance.

In this space, the body reflects more than physical form — it reveals your inner patterns, your truth, and your purpose.

Body Talks is the remembering that your body is not just trained — it is a teacher of how to live.

Movement Methods used:  Holistic Personal Training, Qi Gong, Kundalini Yoga and dance

Sacred Sound is a sound healing practice that works with vibration and frequency to restore balance in the body, mind, and energy system. It explores how sound can support healing, release energetic blocks, and reconnect you to your natural state of harmony through deep cellular resonance.

 Sacred Sound

Discover the transformative power of sound healing and the profound role frequency plays within your life.
Each of us carries a unique fundamental note — a personal vibration that resonates with the integral intelligence of the body at a cellular level.

When sound is used with awareness, it can restore harmony, awaken inner balance, and support deep healing from within. Your body holds extraordinary wisdom, and through sacred sound, you can reconnect with that intelligence.

You have the power to heal yourself. Sacred sound simply helps you remember how.

A depiction of Real Meditation using Kriya, showing a practitioner in a focused seated posture with specific hand positioning, steady breath awareness, and concentrated eye focus. The image conveys an active, disciplined meditation practice that integrates posture, breath, and awareness to deepen consciousness and inner clarity.

Real Meditation

This is not passive relaxation it is a committed practice of awakening.

Using krya: an ancient, precise technology of accuposture, breath, eye focus, and sound designed to shift your energy and elevate your state of awareness. It is not about drifting or listening to guidance that pulls you in and out of sleep. It is about staying present, held within the practice itself.

Through accuposture, focused breathwork, and intentional concentration, the mind becomes clear, the nervous system reorganises, and awareness deepens beyond ordinary perception. You are not escaping reality — you are refining your ability to perceive it.

This practice takes you into profound states that mirror dream consciousness, but with sharp clarity and presence. You remain awake, aware, and fully engaged as deeper layers of insight begin to emerge.

What arises in these states is not random — it is wisdom. As you gain the tools to access it, you begin to see through new eyes, with greater understanding, clarity, and truth…With Purpose.

An image representing Sacred Touch as a conscious self-practice, showing gentle hand placements on the body used to support relaxation, nervous system balance, and energetic awareness. The scene conveys calm, grounded presence and intentional touch using methods inspired by EFT, meridians, acupressure, and classical kinesiology to encourage the body’s natural return to balance and flow.

Sacred Touch

Sacred Touch is a practice of learning how to support the body’s natural ability to restore balance through intelligent, conscious touch.

You are taught how to work with EFT, NLP, neuro-lymphatic points, spinal reflexes, meridians, and acupressure to release stored tension, regulate the nervous system, and encourage the body back into coherence and vitality.

This is not something done to you — it is something you learn to do for yourself. A way of understanding the body as an energy system that can be accessed, supported, and gently reset through simple, precise techniques.

Rooted in Classical Kinesiology and Reiki, Sacred Touch blends structure with intuitive awareness, guiding you to listen to the body and respond in a way that restores flow, ease, and balance.

This is the practice of remembering that your hands carry the intelligence to support restoration — within yourself, and in others.

An image representing Sacred Nutrition & Naturopathy, showing a harmonious connection between whole foods, plants, herbs, and nature. The scene conveys the idea of food as medicine and nourishment, highlighting the relationship between the human body and natural living systems that support balance, vitality, and personalised wellbeing through conscious nutrition.

Sacred Nutrition & Naturopathy

Sacred Nutrition & Naturopathy is not a diet it is a return to the body as an intelligent system in relationship with nature.

Through ancient wisdom and modern understanding, you learn how food can either burden or support your vitality. How what you consume becomes information for your body — shaping energy, clarity, and balance.

This is the practice of remembering that nature is medicine. That your environment, your garden, and the living world around you hold the intelligence to nourish and restore.

Through principles of phytobiophysics and personalised nourishment, you begin to understand how different foods interact uniquely with your system — not as one-size-fits-all, but as a deeply individual relationship with life itself.

Sacred Nutrition is the awareness that what you take in becomes who you are — and that through conscious choice, you can begin to support a more aligned, vibrant way of living.

 
 
An image representing Sacred Movement Practice as an embodied, integrative journey of awareness through breathwork, movement, dance, and energetic disciplines such as Qi Gong and Kundalini kriya. The visual conveys a return to the body’s natural rhythm and flow, symbolising the unfolding of presence, creativity, and self-realisation through a holistic practice inspired by nature, the elements, and ancient wisdom systems.

Sacred Movement In Motion

Sacred Movement in motion is a return home to the true embodied rhythm and flow of your magnitude.

This is not something to be consumed quickly or mastered as a technique — it is an accumulative unfolding. A lived practice where the three pillars and six stages are gradually embodied. There are no shortcuts to wisdom. Access is not denied by life — it is obscured when we keep searching outside of ourselves.

Here, the body becomes the gateway. The place where awareness settles. The place where creativity is born into form. The home within you where truth is no longer sought, but lived.

Inspired by Classical Kinesiology, Qi Gong, breathwork, mudra, mantra, sacred sound, dance, Kundalini kriya, phytobiophysics, the natural world, the elements, and astrology, this practice weaves all of life into one intelligent system of remembrance.

Intrigued you should be — for this is not just movement. This is your path back to truth. A return to what you are capable of when you are fully embodied, fully present, and fully alive.

Welcome to the real world of your becoming.

Testimonials

I started training with Maria to loose some weight and to also help with my back problems. Maria found I have a saco iliac disfunction “very tight hips” my strength & fitness improved so much in a short space of time using the EMS machine. I felt cured... more energetic & looked better. Maria’s tips on nutrition is outstanding she would send me texts of what I should & shouldn’t be eating too. Maria always goes that extra mile to help, she always did my measurements & stretches me out at the end of each session. I very much appreciate the help & advice in recommending me to an osteopath. I have become stronger, leaner & have much better posture. Maria is fun, caring committed & inspired myself to do a personal training course. I would 100% recommend Maria to train you & change your life

I've been working with Maria for 5 months and have seen unbelievable results during that time. I have never felt stronger or healthier.

I’ve been having sessions with Maria for about a year, we call every other week. Maria is a great teacher and a supportive figure. She helps me learn how to cope with my emotions and she normalises these feelings. Maria has helped me grow massively since last year. I used to suffer from anxiety but now I’m much stronger and have a much better outlook on life. Maria is a positive influence and has a lot of useful techniques to share. I definitely recommend talking to Maria and learning from her. She will support you.

I love the combination of movement, positive thought, breath and mantra that Maria’s classes provide that leave you smiling Inside and out.

Carrie Mitchell

I have had the absolute pleasure and privilege of working with Maria for just over a month and I have learnt so much from her. She teaches in a very gentle and kind way, very clear and concise and it is always fun, with laughter aplenty. I am currently partaking in Kundalini yoga 1-2-1 with her and they are well worth the investment in myself, I am feeling more centered, more connected and also more flexible, at 42 this is so valuable and it has had a knock on effect with my gym training as well as my personal and professional life. Her after care is second to none and any questions or queries I have, she is only a message away, she also uploads the sessions we've had, so I can carry on my practice in my own time. I thoroughly recommend Maria to everyone I know and also to the person reading this. You won't regret it

Paul Conquest Operation Team Leader for GKN Aerospace

I been training with Maria for over 5 years now and she is an awesome personal trainer, yoga expert and kinesiology practitioner. We have several sessions per week, usually online and she always runs well thought through and planned sessions. We do a mix of PT to build strength and yoga to support flexibility. Her instructions are very clear and she does the workout with me which creates a feeling of camaraderie and support. She is motivational, always enthusiastic and has a great sense of humour! I feel confident in her expertise and knowledge as a trainer. Her huge depth of experience means she can stretch me without causing injury. She demonstrates things and quickly corrects my inevitable mistakes. She is always cheerful so the sessions go quickly and has an inner kindness that goes way beyond the session providing materials and coaching to help with food, stretching or exercise plans to do in between sessions. I would highly recommend her as an all round practitioner for anyone looking to get in shape or to ease aches and pains. I have had really great results, helping me stay pain free

Dr Phil Green

Maria has a level of serenity, calmness and insight that makes her stand out as your partner in your journey to wellness. The brightness, energy Maria has will help you fulfil your ambitions to the max

Roger Phillips Senior Partner MTGE

I met Maria at one of my lowest points in life. She was not only an amazing personal trainer she allowed me to connect to myself again. Maria took the time to get to know me, she listened and heard me like no one else. With various health issues I didn't know if I could train. But Maria took time to create a personal program for me. While weight loss wasn't the goal I shifted so much weight I was carrying, both physically and mentally. Now training in Kundalini Yoga with Maria has further grounded me. She is an angel. I believe her purpose is to allow others to find theirs.

Vanita Sharma Pereira

I had a kundalini yoga session with Maria It felt amazing and I felt lighter afterwards It’s really helped with mental clarity My daughter is also having sessions of meditation and journaling to help with anxiety and it’s helping her too Thank you !! I’m so glad I reached out x

Rachel Allen Nanny

I met Maria in March 2016, 17 months after the birth of my daughter Amelia. My husband who is a Physiotherapist recommended her as he knew I was keen to work with a female trainer who had had children (and maybe understood the challenges I was facing!) Following an informal chat over coffee (well Maria had a water) at my home, I quickly decided that I liked the idea of Maria’s holistic approach and we got to work immediately. My personal goal was to lose some weight, get trimmer and get stronger. I kept a 24hr a day food diary which involved me sending Maria pics of everything I ate and drank – I found this particularly affective as a way of self- managing my food intake but it also allowed Maria to see what I wasn’t eating/drinking. Every Thursday morning I had a PT session which started with calculating my body fat. This was a game changer for me! Instead of getting hooked up on losing weight (which I have fixated on since my teenage years) my focus was reducing my body fat. Maria developed a training programme for me which incorporated weight lifting. This introduced me to the concept of building muscle not in terms of getting bulky but re-shaping my body. And over a period of 12 weeks I saw a remarkable change in body shape; shoulders and arms more defined, thighs more toned and bottom perkier! I have found Maria to be incredibly supportive, motivating and always honest. In a nutshell Maria has completely changed my approach to exercise and nutrition. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone who is looking to improve their fitness and lifestyle.

Gemma Richardson

I trained with Maria for at least half a year and absolutely loved it! There were a number of reasons for this: • Maria uses a holistic approach to wellness. Maria didn't just look at excercise, but she carefully examines your diet. Moreover, she doesn't have a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to diet and excercise schedules, but she makes sure to tailor things to your body type and also explains the "why" behind every training/diet decision made, which greatly helps with motivation and understanding. Over and beyond her great expertise in the diet/exercise field, Maria is trained in numerous holistic wellbeing practices which are a magnificent addition to tackle any stubborn or difficult issues. • Maria is an incredibly friendly and positive person and it was always a lot of fun training with her. That said, even though we became friends over time, Maria always stayed professional and made sure I pushed myself hard during sessions. • Whenever I had an injury or struggled with something, Maria would work around these issues and tailored my training program to what my body could output at a given time. • Maria is extremely supportive and genuinely cares about her clients achieving their goals. Maria always supported me through hard times, and I could see that she genuinely cared about me as a human being, making training a lot more fun and really inspiring me to work hard. • Maria is a fantastic role model and practices what she preaches! 🙂 I can without a doubt recommend Maria as a health and fitness specialist and wish that she was still in South Africa so that I can continue training with her

Sanja Lutzeyer

I am 62 years old. I had a back operation 5 years ago. I have been living on anti-inflammatories and fisio therapy ever since because of my back causing spasms, stiffness and pain. After joining Maria’s classes everything changed. I have not been for fisio and hardly ever take anti-inflammatories. Maria taught me the importance of exercise. The way of eating she prescribes is healthy and easy to follow. After detoxing you have amazing energy. Maria believes in and has a passion for her work. Her knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile and then some is to be commended. I can recommend Maria to young and old – you can only benefit from her knowledge, her sincere interest in your specific needs and her lovely personality.

Estelle Roos

I wish to thank you for your sharing your knowledge, encouraging, belief, positivity and down to earth attitude in helping me reach a point I didn't believe possible. I originally asked for your help to reach further weight loss as I had been visiting the gym regularly and reached a plateau. Upon contacting you and you asking what I wished to achieve you mentioned more expertise advice that you could provide me, not just weight loss, but to achieve high fitness and health levels, all of which you knew were possible. I have to admit I was slightly narrow minded in your ability and quickly learned of your experience and your knowledge after our very first session. You diagnosed my back issues, understood my sciatica issues. You had empathy in my hip tightness, and understood my strengths and weaknesses very quickly, all in the first session. You noted quickly, when we met in subsequent sessions if I hadn't undertaken my "homework" exercises! Your help with reeducation me about food and the misrepresentation of food in the media has been an eye opener and how I now, never felt like I have missed out or deprived with food. I still enjoy eating out and alcohol but make small adjustments and better choices. I have never felt this good about myself for many years and have the confidence that this will continue and my new habits will continue. My sessions with you will also continue as this is not an end, but a continuous education in becoming the best me I can be with the tools and information I have. Thank you Maria for sharing your knowledge, positive attitude, ability to relate to us who are in need of improvement, but unable to know where to start, to make the first small step.

Emma Austin

Maria is the best personal trainer I've ever had, having used various others in the past she is the only one I saw results with. Maria's knowledge is mind blowing, whatever she tells you to do listen and you will achieve exactly what you want. She's a lovely person and makes you feel so comfortable. Would honestly never use another trainer.

Kayleigh Louise Parish

I have known and worked with Maria for a number of years. She has an incredible aptitude to health and is armed with evidence based advice and tips to support peoples health goals. A professional and holistic approach to health that will support your habits and fulfil your goals in a healthy way. Absolutely recommended!

Amy

Maria is a brilliant personal trainer and really supportive of your goals, I would totally recommend her to give you the kick up the butt you need

Claire Loten

Initially, before starting with Maria, I was a little dubious about how much difference anyone could make to me especially being pretty unfit and a fan of food. My Wife had been training with Maria for a few months and was getting on really well so I thought I’d give it a go. It was a steep curve initially and hard work, but very quickly I noticed my overall fitness improving week on week. The most noticeable improvement was to my stamina and fitness while Playing Roller hockey. This involves a lot of stop/start sprinting and suddenly I wasn’t struggling to sprint and could play much longer without getting fatigued. With Maria’s help, advice and daily food diary emails both my wife and I started eating much healthier along with the fitness training. This is when I noticed the weight start to shed and noticed the effect of the training more. Maria has a great wealth of knowledge ranging from fitness to food & nutrition and much more. Maria is very professional and always seems interested in getting the best out of the training for you, focusing on technique to help make the training as effective as possible. The training is always hard work, but I look forward to each session. Another great thing is that the training is varied, it’s not just the same old thing week in week out. Overall Maria is a great personal trainer, always friendly, helpful and above all delivers results (if you put the effort in yourself!) I would recommend her to anyone.

Keith O’Brien

After practicing different types of sports for many years, a work out in the gym was never a real focus and I never really knew what I was doing with the weights. Therefore, decided to sought professional advice and I have been having training sessions with Maria for the last 6 months, which have proved to be very beneficial. Not only is Maria reliable, knowledgeable and professional, she is also a good motivator and provides a good structure for each session to meet objectives set. Overall I have definitely noticed a difference in stamina and fitness, which adds to my wellbeing. I appreciate the effort that Maria puts in and recommend anyone to try a session.”
