Success Stories
See what people are saying about working with Maria.
I didn't even think I needed this program as I am not overweight and eat pretty cleanly. Boy, I had no idea what I was going to experience! Energy is off the charts and I really started to understand the reasons why I was struggling with not eating the best I can be. I'm so grateful that I went through Surviving to Thriving and feel like I will take this experience with me and use it for the rest of my life. I'm grateful that Maria approached me and I'm sending people her way so they can experience this as well!

I am writing about my experience of having Maria as a coach, while participating in the program. I have to say that there could not be a better person to have as a coach.
Her caring nature and knowledge of the program and how to apply enhancements made the conference call Zoom meetings a thing to look forward to. If she did not have the answer to a question, she found the answer and would follow through. Few people know of her additional abilities that added to the experience.
I highly recommend doing the program with Maria as the coach.
Really, when you think about it the only thing that matters is results. The results were amazing: it is worth the investment and health and vitality and overall emotional well-being that comes with participating in this program.

I no longer have gallbladder pain and the arthritis in my finger no longer bothers me. When I started this program, I was getting gallbladder flare-ups about 3 or 4 nights a week. I was up for hours in the night with pain. About 3 weeks into the program, I noticed I hadn't had any pain. I haven't had a flare-up since. I lost about 22 pounds. I had to go down 2 sizes of pants. My arms and face are thinner and even my shoes fit much better. The program works great and Maria is an awesome coach. I enjoyed the weekly Zoom meetings. They were a key part of the program. I strongly recommend this program and I think Maria is the best coach!
I was surprised when I did my final measurements how many inches I actually lost. I knew my clothes were all looser and I had to start wearing smaller sizes, but I'm so happy my numbers dropped so much!

When I was approached to join Surviving to Thriving I was both interested and naturally resistant. It was only the gentle coaxing of Coach Maria that finally won me over. I was naturally resistant at first because I had tried other programs before; spent hundreds of dollars each time only to have small results or non-lasting results. This program rewired my brain when it comes to my perception of food and how it relates to true nourishment compared to just emotional satisfaction or just feeling good for the time food is in my mouth. Giving the body what it was designed to have goes a long way in resisting illnesses and ailments, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for medications. In 90 days, I was able to shed 41 pounds, and so far I have been able to stop taking medications. I feel stronger, I have more mental clarity, my old clothes fit once again -- I am confident in my skin. Just like -- but at the same time not at all -- McDonalds, I'm lovin' it!
Blood pressure is down without medication. Blood sugar is well within the normal range both fasting and non-fasting. (I can't wait to see what my A1c will be). Gout symptoms so far have vanished without medication. I have yet to check triglycerides and cholesterol but I expect them to be normal without medication. I've been able to stop all my medications.

Most people who try dieting have very specific goals in mind they want to achieve because of a temporary faze or moment in their life. The reason why I mention this is because this lures you into a trap of repeated failure.
This program will essentially change the way you view food. This lesson, if you are open to learning it, you will carry with you for the rest of your life, giving you a wisdom that will lead to better mental, physical and spiritual health. If you let it, it will be transformational. Let Maria’s coaching and this program be the catalyst for great things to come. I can't recommend it enough.

It was an incredibly amazing experience with Maria. She is very committed to making sure that everything works out and you can successfully reach your goal. Unfortunately, due to a lot of work and illness, I could not fully exploit the possibilities. I "only" lost 25 pounds. On the other hand, I have to admit a few things... First of all: I will do exactly this program with her again, as it is perfect, and continue to recommend it to anyone who finally wants to lose weight successfully and permanently. I'm finally living healthier, stronger, and feeling like my body has been replaced. Dear Maria, thank you very much for this great experience. I'll stick with it and look forward to it soon!

I was scheduled for a Sciatica operation when I started the program. Seven weeks in, my sciatica released. Also my eyesight improved to where I don't need reading glasses anymore.
Thank you for changing my life.

My coach Maria, before she was my coach, approached me and said her program would be transformational for me. I was skeptical, but chose to try it anyway. I have been trying for 10 years on my own to lose weight. Rather than lose anything, my weight crept up a bit rather than decline. In short, whatever I tried didn't work. Exercise didn't help much as the exercise wanted me to eat more. I was fortunate with WildFit. The program was easy to do from start to finish, with only a couple semi-difficult days here and there. I was fortunate that I had immediate results. In total, I lost 30 to 32 lbs, depending on the day - about 10 lbs per month. The first five I was certainly happy about, but I didn't put much stock in until I was down 10. In previous attempts to lose weight, it was practically impossible to lose 10 lbs and I was starving. They never want you to be hungry on this program. As the weeks rolled by, I continued to lose weight at a good pace, which kept me going in the program. I am turning 60 next month. I am now fluctuating from 182 to 185 lbs in the morning on an empty stomach. I use that as my barometer. I haven't seen these numbers since roughly age 40. My hair, skin, and nails have improved. My neck is noticeably thinner. I am off my blood pressure medication and off my sleep apnea machine.
I still can lose another 7 lbs or so and am continuing the skills they taught me on my own.

I am very satisfied with my experience as it opened up new and healthier forms of eating. Hungers were addressed where I did not know they may have been an issue in my overall eating patterns. I now have much less joint stiffness.

My story is that I did it kind of on a "lark". I had gained a few pounds during Covid and thought it might knock them off, but my expectations were not so great and I never thought about other medical/ lifestyle benefit. So, I began with a bit of hope , but no real expectations for anything spectacular. I did follow the program pretty faithfully. Within about 2 weeks I was dropping weight; then I noticed I was not taking naps during the day and staying up just as late as before. Weight kept falling off; people began to comment on my skin looking so good. THEN, I realized that the skin all over my body was healthier. I used to need bottle of moisturizer a month to keep from flaking or breaking out with dryness or itching. No more. I actually think I don't need any moisturizer at all - it's just a habit after a shower. Overall, I do not even think about going back to my old ways (which I thought were pretty healthy to begin with) again. It is wonderful to not be eating such huge quantities , but also to know that I can munch on WILDFIT® friendly foods as much as I want. Happy happy that I took the program, stuck to it.... ONLY downside - I need all new clothes - smaller clothes.!! (ha)
Anyone who wants any type of health or beauty improvement should do this. It is an all-around health transformation.

What I do realize after being here in Florida for a mere week is how GREAT my life is and particularly because I'm healthy and have healthy habits around food and alcohol. Even when I'm "bad" I'm good. Our bodies are miracles and can take a lot of abuse and disease and still keep going strong. I intend to live a LONG and healthy life thanks to Maria and the program!
