Today we’d like to introduce you to Maria R. Malec.
It’s an honor to speak with you today. Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. How did you get to where you are today?
For the past 2 decades as a health freedom advocate, I have been helping families make a successful shift from an overwhelmed, over processed and over medicated lifestyle to simpler, sustainable everyday wellness.
The reality is, we live in a world that demands a whole lot of time, effort and energy. At the end of the day, convenience has replaced practicality and pills have replaced coping skills. My methods have helped people cut their learning curve by a decade, with McGuyver-like ease towards vitality.
After raising 5 children under 7, I know a thing or two about the ebb and flow of motherhood while going in and out of burnout. After countless hours of reading, attending conferences, masterminds, training, taking classes, engaging in personal development activity, applying what I studied and learning how not to turn my children orange from juicing 50 lbs of carrots a week; I consider myself an expert at living above the wellness line.
This is not a one-size fits all journey. I am a gentle guide who will you the way
by equipping you with the tools to take responsibility for your level of health and wellness and the lifestyle that suits your needs.
Successfully, I have helped hundreds of people implement amazing health-promoting benefits of God-given resources while eliminating the dependence on drugs & toxic products.
While my approach is laid back, I will never promise that it will be easy. My commitment to my clients is as great as my commitment to myself.
I’m sure your success has not come easily. What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?
For the most part, it has been a smooth road to optimal wellness. However, when my children were young, because I made a conscious decision to not vaccinate, we were rejected from doctors, schools and lost friends.
Nonetheless, it was truly worth the trials in an effort to uphold the sovereignty of our bodies. My family has been gracious for allowing me to put them through the trial of multiple holistic modalities and dietary transitions. It was necessary for us to experience the variety of these methods so that I could cut the learning curve for those that would come later on in my path. I am grateful that my family willingly followed my mindful direction. Now as an empty-nester, I have the peace of mind witnessing the fruits of my labor in the lives of my vibrant adult children.
Let’s talk about the work you do. What do you specialize in and why should someone work with you over the competition?
What if I mentioned that burn out could be a signal for desiring more in life? I specialize in getting people, especially women, from burned out to fired up. The emphasis of my work focuses on the renewing of one’s mind, overwriting triggers, learning to self regulate in minutes, releasing stored trauma and facilitate heart/brain coherence.
By introducing clients to my simple methods that shift faulty programming and redirect their thinking they start witnessing the changing atmosphere and the actualization of their aspirations. I don’t waste time with things that don’t work. It’s been 2 decades of trial and error to develop a system that can adapt to anyone.
It’s my quest to teach them how to find their flow and to live fully, experiencing all their senses. If we can’t feel then we can’t heal.
It’s vital for my clients to believe healing is possible, truly desire to be transformed and to take an active part in the process. Coherence helps to settle one’s mind, think clearly and to move forward with a renewed hope for the future.
What’s your best piece of advice for readers who desire to find success in their life?
Our lives evolve, literally, as we speak. I am a firm believer in life and death in the power of the tongue. As creative beings, we are either creating or devolving ourselves with our spoken word and frequent defeating self talk. What we focus on becomes our reality. I am here to shift the narrative.
Our wellness is directly related to our peace of mind. When one masters themselves at the beginning of the day, the rest of the day is more likely to go smoothly. Our lives are our medicine. Once we understand how our bodies work then we will know how to work our bodies.
Everything we need is already inside of us. When one taps into their innate healing nature, theirs lives are never the same again. Everyone has this capability and it is activates true freedom.
Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?
Success for me is living in alignment with my Creator and carrying forth my divine purpose. We can’t live our best life if we can’t get out of bed. Our health is directly related to our success. Once I am aware of how my internal expression affects everything, what I reflect must come back to me. Input determines output. I watch what I consume which includes what my mind is consuming.
Establishing daily non-negotiables and staying tuned into my body’s needs while effectively adapting to my environment assures me true freedom in consciously creating my life as I declare it with my own voice.
What’s next for you?
Currently, I have created a mobile community of Taking Healthy Back. I am traveling throughout the United States interviewing people of all walks of life, finding out what the common denominator is between their health and their success.
The answers that I have been receiving are not the typical ones that I expected. Everyone has a unique story to share about their personal health journeys. The answers are remarkably hopeful for those who believe they are doomed to a life of accepting sickness as the norm.
Like the old quilting and sewing circles. I will be starting an Online Community Roundtable where people can come together in a safe place to unpack and discuss their health and wellness needs and can be guided to more nurturing solutions than the mainstream “healthcare” system that tends to manage sickness and not true healing.
I am looking for individuals to share their stories and become guests on my tour for Taking Healthy Back.
