From Personal Struggles to Wellness Triumph
Meet the embodiment of inspiration, resilience, and transformative change! From battling the weight scales to conquering personal milestones, Maria Allshouse has walked the arduous journey of shedding over 120 pounds and maintaining that weight loss for an incredible 12+ years. But it's not just about the weight loss; it's about the newfound perspective on food, health, and life.
Her remarkable story of overcoming a lifetime struggle with disordered eating and chronic dieting is as inspiring as it is engaging. With warmth and humility, she describes her journey from someone who was barely surviving to a completely revitalized individual thriving as an award-winning fitness athlete, olympic triathlete, corporate leader, and community champion. Most recently, she was featured in the 2023 Women 50 Over 50 Project, A Celebration of Beauty, Strength & Wisdom.
After being down-sized at age 50 from a 23-plus-year corporate career in marketing and branding, Maria made a life-changing decision to take the path of entrepreneurship to help others who, like her, had struggled to create a healthy, vibrant, active lifestyle.
Maria holds ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) certifications in Fitness Training and Sports Nutrition and NESTA (National Exercise and Sports Trainers Association) in Lifestyle Weight Management. In addition, she is a Certified Master Health Coach. She is pursuing her Board Certification in Health Coaching through Precision Nutrition, an international organization comprising the world’s top health, nutrition, sleep, and stress management experts. Furthermore, Maria is a Certified Master Trainer for the University of Pittsburgh Diabetes Prevention Program and a member of the National Speakers Association. She also holds a bachelor's degree in Business and Communications from Carlow University.
Maria has delivered inspiring presentations across the United States educating individuals from all backgrounds. Some of her topics include Choosing Grace Over Guilt and Stop Pressing the Pause Button. She has also been featured in local and national publications and has appeared as a subject matter expert on both local and national podcasts.
Her mission is to inspire profound positive change in individuals and corporate environments, empowering leaders and individuals to unlock their full potential and lead healthy lives of purpose, fulfillment, and vitality. Through her holistic deep health approach, Maria offers transformative programs that nurture personal growth and enhance well-being.
When Maria isn’t playing the role of “Coach Maria”, she enjoys connecting with nature exploring the many trails of Pittsburgh, and spending time with her granddaughter doing what she loves most, being a GaGa.
What clients and peers are saying:
"Maria transformed her lifestyle and fully embraced her own personal journey to be the best physically, mentally and spiritually.
