Our Story
Meet Maria, Nutrition Educator
There truly is power in numbers. I spent years raising my son alone, with my diet and my health, being one of the many struggles I faced. I knew what my body needed, as is often the case for many of us. What I couldn’t figure out was why good habits were so hard to come by, and I was often so unforgiving with myself. I believe many women can relate. It was only when I stepped far outside my level of comfort to find support among others that my life, my health, and everything about my world changed for the better. I created Fresh Choice to bring this opportunity to other women because together with each other’s support we can accomplish more.
