Love Your Body Now!: Lose the Weight of Self-Hate, Gain the Yummy-ness of Goddess-ness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481090964)

I am a guide who inspires and empowers you in living purposefully and powerfully. My workshops and retreats are based on this book. According to those who have participated in my workshops and retreats, this is transformational work and it changes people's lives. I teach from real life experience, using the same principles that transformed my past pain and struggle into a life of inspiration, purpose, and success. I began studying and integrating the great spiritual teachings as well and became a Wilderness Guide, leading Vision Quests. I have put together my accumulated wisdom and I am inspired to share and guide you in releasing the old and limiting beliefs and embracing who you REALLY are. My message screams to awaken you to knowing that you create the life you have and you have the power to choose from infinite possibility. I love to create sacred space, hang out in nature as well as at the Coffee Bean. I love to dance around a fire as well as dipping on a dance floor! I married a fabulous man a few years ago on a beach in Santa Barbara and our first dance was to Louis Armstong's "Wonderful World". I believe we live in a wonderful world and life is to be lived and savored in each moment that is now, no matter how big or how small. Maria's Purpose: "The purpose of my life is to shimmer and to radiate love to those around me through my dance of life" Maria lives her purpose by: *Living BIG and releasing small thoughts and ideas. This inspires and empowers people to awaken to their own creative power and Divine presence and an inner knowing of their own greatness. *Living without regret - jumping into any situation with love and abandon! Her example helps to guide people to transcend fear, limiting beliefs, distorted perceptions of their body and self worth. *Living with kindness. Not just with those around her, but with herself as well. Living with kindness is living with love.
