Maria was always interested in well-being.  Even at the age of 12, she would already observe and notice the correlation between people’s health, beauty and vitality states with what they ate and how they were as people (their attitudes), and proceeded to observe and experiment with her own eating patterns and mindsets so she would wield levels of vitality she could enjoy as alertness and enthusiasm in school.  She became an athlete and served as part of her women’s volleyball varsity from grade school all the way to college, enjoying the rewards gained from the discipline of sports and teamwork.
In 1998 she got into meditation and went to India to learn the benefits of Vegetarianism, Positive Thinking and Stress-Free Living, desiring to better understand and manage emotions. In 2002 she fell in love with Sivananda Yoga working for an internationally-awarded wellness spa in an island destination and a year after began facilitating the practice all over Metro Manila. In love with wellness and beauty, she became a signature model for several beauty and wellness brands and has won awards in fitness. She has appeared as a guest in local and cable TV networks regarding the mind, health, beauty and yoga, and in 2006 was a spokesperson for the Nestlé Wellness Tours.  In 2009 she was awarded as Nesvita's 10 Most Beautiful, Inside and Out.​
In 2005, Maria met her mentor who trained her in the Science of Mind and Metaphysics. It was here when she learned all about human potential and how she can honor and work with Universal Laws to explore her own interests, passions, talents and skills for her self-development and self-realization.  
She got her certification for level three of The Integrated Yoga Wellness Program which integrates ancient and scientific mind-body techniques, principles and disciplines that support vitality, immunity, the brain, nervous system and the body, securing wellbeing and health, now and in the long-term. The program was taken to offices around the country making it easy for people to incorporate health into their itinerary for lasting, lifetime results. Under the aegis of senior instructors, Maria concentrates her abilities in designing and facilitating embodiment and human potential programs that empower people to enjoy and realize their most cherished wellness ideals and human potential today.
During the pandemic, her work got funneled online where she got invited to international summits, i.e. the Mercury Retrograde Alchemy Summit (May 2021) and the Bridging Sky and Earth: Embody Your Star Wisdom Summit (March 2022) as an embodiment and human potential guide - assisting people all over the world at this time in human history to help them ground and center back into their lives and bodies, for well-being.
At present, Maria is honoring her interests and studies in Neuroscience, Mind-Body Therapy, Astrology, Energy, Shadow Work and Inner Child Integration, towards a personalized approach to wellness that enables the student to identify and understand his / her unique blueprint and energy signature in life, and how he / she can honor, support, supply, keep it safe and secure for his / her health, wholeness and happiness now and in the long term!
