Meet Marita:
I’m Marita, a fitness & nutrition coach and girl mom who believes health should feel fun and freeing. I help women reconnect with themselves through movement, mindfulness, lifestyle and nourishment because when we pour into ourselves first, everyone in our life benefits. To me, true health is a balance of physical, emotional, spiritual, and nutritional wellbeing. You can usually find me outside kayaking, grilling, gardening, or sitting on the beach with my dogs and a good romantasy book. I believe the more deeply we connect to our bodies, the more fulfilled we become.
