Empowering You Health and Wellness Coaching, LLC Maria Schenker, NBC-HWC, Board Certified Health Coach, Culinary Coaching, Inspired Baking, by Maria I enjoy sharing my knowledge of food and how to prepare it.

I am a Nationally Board-Certified Health Coach and a compassionate leader with education and experience in health, nutrition, and wellness coaching. I am member of the American Society for Nutrition and American Nutrition Association. I have had much success with coaching clients with their lifestyle changes. As a client centered coach, I have helped clients achieve a better quality of life. I coach and mentor clients on all aspects of health and wellness, performing client needs assessment to identify areas of growth and education. As a Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach I work with individuals and shift them from being passive recipients of expensive health care interventions to adopting a responsible, self-directed, proactive stance that facilitates lasting positive change and outcome. Patients have better outcomes when they are active participants in improving their health and wellness. I help develop client-specific plans for maximizing nutrition and health in alignment with their established needs, offering evidence-based health education to promote behavior change and confidence. I align myself to my clients so that I can assist them with reaching their desired goals. As an advocate for health and wellness I believe that we should all live an energized, passionate and healthy life. As a Health Coach I support the process and changes that best suit my client's needs. I have worked with many clients challenged with food allergies, heart conditions, diabetes, fertility and hormonal issues, autism and those that want to make healthy lifestyle changes. I have had success helping clients live a better quality of life by helping them discover lifestyle changes with food, supplements and healthy alternatives. I am certified in Plant Based Nutrition by Cornell University and am an advocate for plant-based eating. I am a passionate cook and have attended an organic cooking course in Florence, Italy, not only was it educational it was an amazing experience. I teach my clients how to grocery shop, read labels and prepare food. I specialize in gluten free and sugar free baking.

Benefits include:
Mood boost, stress reduction, stronger relationships, and increased confidence.

Today’s challenge:
Smile more! 😊 It’s not just powerful for your own breathing and mood it's a simple way to change a moment and make someone else's day.
Give it a try!

For many, this time of year can be stressful or isolating. Having EMPATHY is truly hearing someone “HOLDING SPACE" without judgment to foster connection and let them know they are not alone 🫶🏼.

Most importantly, extend that same compassion to YOURSELF. Give yourself permission to feel what you need to feel, free of pressure. Be sure to prioritize self-care 💕.

In the grand scheme of human experience, there is always joy, sorrow, struggle, and triumph. But perhaps the most vital thing, the one that holds the whole thing together, is HOPE 🫶🏼.

HOPE isn't just wishful thinking; it's an active
force ✨. It is the quiet certainty in the middle of a storm that the sun will rise again. It is the belief that our actions matter and that a better tomorrow is possible, even when today feels overwhelming.

HOPE gives us the strength to stand back up after we've been knocked down. It helps us set goals and move toward them painting a picture of the future we want to create. Without hope, vision fades into resignation. It's the assurance that no one walks this journey alone.

HOPE is not a guarantee that everything will be easy, but it is the deep knowledge that everything is possible. Hold onto it, nurture it, and share it. It is your most valuable resource.

What gives you HOPE today?

Just two weeks left until the big day! While the to do list might be growing, remember the beautiful advice:
Don't get your tinsel in a tangle!

This time should be filled with wonder, not worry. Focus on the cozy moments, the sparkling lights, and the joy of coming together. Let go of perfection, embrace the perfectly imperfect holiday chaos, and simply enjoy the beautiful ride. 🚂
What's the one thing you're looking forward to most in these next 14 days? ⬇️

✨Love boldly, live loudly✨

There is absolutely nothing wrong with loving the crap out of everything. Your JOY, your PASSION, your ENTHUSIASM that’s your superpower 💪!

Negative people will always find their walls.
But you?
You’re out here breaking barriers, opening doors, and lighting up every room you walk into. 💥

So NEVER apologize for your energy.

NEVER shrink your shine.

Keep loving big.

Keep showing up fully.

Keep being YOU.
🫶🏼💫🌟✨💞

As we celebrate the holidays be sure to be present.
Life moves fast, but the magic is always in the now.
PAUSE. BREATHE.
Notice the small things…
the light, the laughter, the quiet moments in between.
Presence is a gift we give ourselves. Simply: BE in the moment ✨🎄💫

Did you know 40% of Americans are lonely.
If you are one of them please know you are not alone.
Loneliness is rising, especially for those 45+. You can make a difference for yourself and others.
SELF-CARE
• Validate the feeling: Loneliness is a natural feeling, not a flaw.
• Choose meaningful connections:
Focus on deep connection, not large groups.
• Join a group, find your purpose:
Find a group or cause you care about (volunteering, clubs).

HELP OTHERS
• Be the initiator:
Send a specific check-in text. Don't wait for them.
• Listen deeply:
Ask open questions “How are you really?". Put the phone away and hold space for them.
• No pressure invite: Suggest a quick walk or coffee, and emphasize "no pressure!"

Pay attention, look for the signs and reach out to someone who may just need someone to listen to them or just a friend.
