Perfectionist
Why does weight loss feel like an ongoing uphill battle?
Whenever I diet, I turn into a neurotic control freak and I obsess about food and calories 24/7. I go all in and follow everything perfectly until I fall off. Then I find the next diet, and I do it all over again.
I can’t do that anymore.
Overthinker
There are so many diets, how do I know which one is right for me?
Should I do keto, fasting, vegan?
I am overwhelmed and discouraged by the contradicting information out there. I often feel paralyzed because I don’t know which advice to follow.
Nutrition is confusing!
Rebel
I know what to do, I’m just not doing it.
I’m done with subscribing to arbitrary diet rules on the internet. What used to help me lose weight, doesn’t work anymore.
I want the food to work for me, not against me.
Help me do this my way!

Health benefits beyond weight loss
My science-based coaching method does more than just teach you how to follow a generic plan. In the end, it won’t be just about what you lose, but what you’ll gain: knowledge, control, and the confidence that comes with knowing you’re capable of anything.
No more 30-day quick fixes and impossible standards
You don’t have to go to extremes to get amazing results. Take simple, small steps repeatedly and with confidence. I’ll help you achieve your goals without flipping your life upside down. You don’t have to be perfect, you just need to show up.
Transform your body-your way
No cookie-cutter programs here. We will collaborate on creating a personalized plan that’s tailored specifically to your goals, needs, and preferences. Get the support you need every step of the way.
One-on-one health coaching done right
I always start with your needs and goals. Then we’ll work together to develop a plan to help you eat, move, and live better—in a way that works for you and your life.
Get the knowledge you need - leave out the extra fluff
I’ll remove all the guesswork and provide the right information for you. Get educated, not discouraged. Stay consistent and focused on essentials. Bye bye to information overload.
Personalized Strategy
I’ll help you break your big goals into small daily practices that add up to massive changes. As a result, you’ll progress toward your goals without ever feeling overwhelmed, and build habits that last a lifetime.
Mastery takes action, not perfection. Let me help.

Marija has been able to completely change and enrich my views on nutrition and eating! She’s a great listener and very easy to talk to, and she also makes sure you completely understand all of the facets of your nutritional needs. We took multiple deep dives into macros & micros, and she was able to help frame all of this knowledge in terms of daily diet. She was able to use my objectives and goals to create a flexible nutrition guide that I’ll be able to use indefinitely to inform my eating and what foods I need to optimize my health and nutrition, and all of this came with very user-friendly and helpful info-graphics!

Working with Marija has been one of the best things that’s happened to me – not just this year, but ever. Before I started I was skeptical that I could learn anything new or do anything that made a long-lasting change. I am shocked by how much progress I’ve made – I’ve learned a lot, I have lost weight without that even being a primary focus, and most importantly my mindset has really changed and I feel so positive. Maybe other nutrition coaches can give you tips, but Marija will make you really feel heard and understood. She’ll help you focus on your bigger goals and reframe what you’ve spent probably 2/3 of your life thinking and feeling.

Marija and I have been working together for 3 months. I have lost 15lbs in 12 weeks and have learned so much about what I should focus on to reach my weight-loss goals. Marija is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about using all her training and skills to help me; she challenges me and knows when I need extra motivation to do my best. Marija, you’re awesome!!!

I help overthinkers and perfectionists bridge the gap between knowing what to do and doing it.
For most of my life, I had healthy lifestyle preferences. If only my self-criticism, perfectionism, and desire to be as skinny as possible were not in the way. Add that to a ton of contradicting misinformation from the diet industry and you get a thick fog that took me years to cut through.
Well, I did, and I know exactly how you feel!
On this journey, I married my true loves: science + health & fitness, in holy matrimony.
They’re a match made in heaven.
I am a board certified health and wellness coach, biology graduate with a master’s in genetics, a holistic nutrition specialist, and a certified personal trainer.
In 2018 I started working side by side with the best coaches in the health and fitness industry in New York City, lifting weights and putting meat on my bones (for once!).
I replaced skinny with a strong body and dropped layers of disordered and restrictive eating.
And you know the best part?
I replaced incessant self-criticism and the desire to control my body with the practice of self-compassion and self-kindness.
In the last 6 years, I’ve helped my clients take their power back in the most loving way possible.
And I will help you do the same!
I am not another wellness guru. You get to be your own guru. I just help you facilitate your inner wisdom.

Marija is the ultimate fitness and nutrition coach. Her expertise is undeniable and her enthusiasm is contagious. She consistently helped me set and achieve goals that, before meeting her, I would have never thought possible. She is a wonderful coach and person, and her knowledge for nutrition is astounding. I learned so much about healthy eating and habit development from Marija. Could not recommend her enough!

Marketing & Event Coordinator
Working with Marija over the last year has given me a sense of physical confidence and vigor rarely experienced in prior workout routines during my adult life. Her knowledge of muscle groups, nutrition, and strength training form has served to substantially increase my core strength and my endurance. Her advice and encouragement boosted my confidence and set the stage for a disciplined workout routine in my 60s. There’s a mutual respect that’s present when I’m training with her- and we even have a lot of fun!

I worked with Marija for about 5 months. She was so easy to work with and to talk to. She encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone by giving me small goals each week. She motivated me and supported me when I was frustrated or discouraged. She responds to messages with detailed information in a timely manner. She is amazing! I highly recommend her.

As a happily ever eater you will:
• build habits that matter to you, and only you
• master the basic principles of a balanced diet that always work
• design meaningful practices based on knowledge and self-awareness
• make your own, informed boundaries and standards around food
And you get to do it all with self-compassion.
Because self-compassion is an antidote to perfectionism.

Under Marija’s guidance I lost more than fifty pounds from January to September. I’m much more agile, have significantly more stamina, and my doctor has been thrilled with my test results that indicate how much my health has improved. If you are looking for a coach who is always prepared, genuinely cares about their clients, and gets results, I highly recommend Marija!

My experience with Marija was phenomenal, I was looking for someone to help me navigate through how to make better nutritional choices, lose weight the healthy way, and change my approach to food.

I’m 61 years old and through a much better understanding of what I eat, when I eat and how much, I’ve lost 7 lbs on my first month. Marija is helping me learn about me. What foods I like, better ways to prepare them and different things I like, but hadn’t understood or thought of to enhance my meals, nutrition and ultimately help me lose weight but just as important, feel better. In just a few meetings I feel better physically and emotionally than I have in recent memory. So I’m on a journey. Marija is just as invested in helping me as I am in the process.

I think that is so important and without a doubt a significant part of my short term and long term success. During our meetings I feel as though I have 110% of Marija’s attention. She is a great listener and asker of questions. Her knowledge of fitness, nutrition, biology and I have to add psychology as it relates to food and habits is significant. Marija is very kind and thoughtful as well. We’re building a process for me personally, that I can manage and understand both from a nutrition and well-being standpoint. I’m extremely satisfied with our work and give Marija the highest recommendation possible. If you’re looking for someone to work with who is interested in helping you personally, Marija is what you’re looking for. To Marija I say THANK YOU!

After COVID-19 it has been difficult to go back to my ideal weight on my own. I worked out consistently but my eating habits were not helping me. Marija worked with me in a way that I never felt I’m on a diet, just making better choices regarding my meals. She really takes the time to understand your needs and works around your lifestyle. She provides different options, recipes of healthy meals based on what I like to eat and am willing to try. I’m really happy with my results and been in a weight that haven’t been in over 10 years.

Six months ago I was in the worst shape of my life. I was overweight, had little energy and struggled to do many everyday activities due to asthma. I began working with Marija and can happily say I have made many positive changes. She helped me improve my range of motion, drop nearly 30 pounds and build a upper body strength that I didn’t even have 20 years ago. I am no longer on blood pressure medication and no longer need an inhaler for asthma.

I was born with a birth defect that resulted in my left arm being smaller than my right arm. I was always told by my doctors that I had very limited capabilities with that arm and had to take extreme caution with it. Marija designed an exercise program that enabled me to build muscle in that arm to better match my right arm. Deciding to get a personal trainer was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I consider it an investment in life!
