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. Certifications in Gut Health, Hormone, Diseases of Affluence and Plant Based Nutrition

Grace is choosing love over judgment, patience over reaction, and peace over proving a point.
Give it freely.
You never know when you may need it too. 🫶🏼💫✨

When you shift your perspective, you shift your power.
What feels like a setback might be an invitation.
What feels heavy might be shaping you.
Pause… Reframe…
Move forward with intention.

“You are what you eat.”
Did you know this phrase dates back to 1826? Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote, "Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are."
It’s more than just a cliché it’s a biological fact.

• The good: Balanced, whole foods lead to mental and physical well-being.

• The bad: Ultra-processed junk can impact everything from your skin and teeth to your brain cells.

The bottom line:
Forget the "quick fix" commercial diets. Real health is about sustainable lifestyle habits, not a temporary plan.

✨Choose food 🍊 that fuels the life you want to live! ✨

BE HAPPY, life is short. We all get so caught up in thinking about the future, it makes it really hard to be present and in the moment. Live your life “today”, take that chance, don’t be afraid you just never know !
Have a fabulous day.

There is a certain peace that comes with getting older. You stop waiting for a seat at tables where you aren't valued and start setting higher standards for the people in your life.

2026 mantra:
I no longer have expectations; I have requirements, respect, effort, honesty, and consistency. Its not about being difficult; it’s about knowing YOUR worth. 💫✨

Drinking my coffee, scrolling and reading some posts this morning. How did we become a society of memes, images and fake content. Hard to tell what is real and what is created by AI or filtered to the point of ridiculous, no lines, no expression, perfectly smooth skin 🙄.

YOU are not content. Your worth isn’t a metric, you DO NOT NEED LIKES to give yourself VALUE!
You don’t owe the world a perfectly curated life.

Being yourself in a society that has created a false narrative is the most authentic and radical thing you can do. ✨💫🫶🏼

Happy Monday ☕️
As we start another week, let this be your reminder…

Life can be messy, unpredictable, and sometimes out of control. Remeber that no matter what is happening, you are not"failing".

Be kind to yourself. You’re doing a great job, even on those days when it doesn’t feel like it.

Have a fabulous week.
