I reached out to Maria after searching the internet tirelessly on managing Gilberts Syndrome symptoms . Like others, I have always been told by doctors that GS is benign and there is nothing to worry about. I was dealing with leaky gut, chronic nasal congestion from histamine intolerance and anxiety related issues for years and was desperate to make a change in my life. After reaching out to Maria, I suddenly felt heard and knew I was not alone in what I was going through. I took her course, "Living With Gilberts Syndrome" and found it to be very helpful in not just explaining why I was experiencing these symptoms but how they could be managed as well. The course is extremely thorough and filled with information on why these symptoms are happening, how they can be managed, supplementation and nutrition advice. I decided I wanted a more tailored plan and have been meeting with Maria for the past year. Her initial consultation was extremely thorough and immedialy put my mind at ease since she understood everything I was going through. We have since put together a successful plan to manage my issues and every time I reach out for a question she is quick to get back to me. Thank you Maria for all you do!

Maria is an authentic and invested Practitioner. I have been working with Maria for several years. She is an outstanding Nutritionist. Her deep knowledge of the integrative medicine domain including all areas related to the body, health & wellbeing is second to none. If her advice is followed carefully, it is transformational.

After the first session with Maria and a review of all i am doing and taking i saw an immediate improvement in some symptoms with the recommended changes. I have seen several different practitioners previously, but the things Maria spotted reviewing old test results etc show me how much they missed and what a great detective she really is. Her understanding of pyroluria is so rare, deep and reassuring but i have found she has a deep understanding for so much more and i am enjoying learning lots myself, making changes and moving forward with her support. Thanks x

Maria is extensive and thoroughly researched but what makes Maria extremely special is both her deep personal first person experiences and her diverse clinical experience. Maria is committed, curious, thoughtful and precise while working at all levels to ensure efficient cellular healing. I have appreciated the way in which Maria listens and collaborates to understand your unique history and biochemistry. I cannot recommend Maria enough.

Maria has been extremely helpful with guiding me through histamine intolerance and burn out when I could not find anybody else in the medical community to provide me with any relief whatsoever and I was unable to eat anything. She helped me out of a terrifying situation. Very grateful to her and highly recommend her !

I was diagnosed with Gilbert’s syndrome recently. I took her course online and found it to be informative and helpful in managing it. I’ve had to ask her a few questions recently and she’s always quick to respond. My only complaint is she’s too far away otherwise I would love to see her in person.

Maria is like an encyclopedia on all things nutrition! With her wealth of knowledge she has helped me with issues concerning brain fog, adrenal fatigue and hormones...not to mention that I've never eaten as healthy as what I do now thanks to her guidance with diet. Maria has a warm and nurturing approach which makes consultations enjoyable. I highly recommend her services. --------------------- Just adding an updated review. My 13 year old son had been suffering from extreme anxiety where every day just getting up and going to school was a massive uphill battle. He would cry daily and was just irritable in his own skin. I had spent the last 2 years trying everything to help him. Maria suggested a blood test and hair analysis and through the results she was able to recommend a few different vitamins. I can honestly say, a couple of weeks into starting the vitamins, we were dealing with a completely different kid. He's been able to attend all his classes at school, he's been able to participate in things which he would never before and is so much more confident and happy. I am so grateful to Maria for her help! She's an absolute champion and my go to person for health issues. Seriously, don't waste time searching for the best in the field cause she's right here!

I have been working with Toni with 2 of my children for the last couple of years. I always recommend her to my friends and family. She has helped them clear up so many issues we've had with both of them. I highly recommend Toni if you have any issues with your children.

Maria is amazing at what she does. Her knowledge, her care, her advice were excellent. I decided to see a nutritionist as I was diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome, I had a lot of gut problems and I wanted to improve my nutrition to facilitate my journey of getting pregnant. I worked with Maria for almost 3 months. She helped me to understand what my issues where and what I needed to do. I took her advice in nutrition, supplementation and other changes I desperately needed in my life. I got pregnant and I believe a lot of the changes I did as recommended by Maria helped me.

My 82 year old Mum has been a patient of Marias for the past 3 + years. Prior to seeing Maria she was on the "medical merry go round". Regular appointments to see Heart and Kidney specialists, medications but no answers as to why she was fainting. I asked Maria to review Mums blood tests and Maria explained that the reason she was fainting was due to being pre-diabetic and leaky gut issues. Mum has done the work and the results are - excess weight gone (12kg), no longer faints, day napping has stopped and more importantly no medications. If it wasn't for Maria I honestly don't think Mum would be here. Mum says "I had the right advice and was told what to do and now I am enjoying a new life. A big thank you to Maria"

Extremely happy with Maria's services. My child has gone ahead in leaps and bounds in the last 12 months since working with her. Maria was able to offer many insights not available through other mainstream services, as well as specialised supplements which actually work. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

My 4 year old daughter had been experiencing crippling stomach pain for years. After seeing countless doctors, and hospital visits we still had no clear answers. From our first consult with Maria I could tell she truly listened to me and to my daughter. Maria set out a plan and really encouraged and supported us, from testings, to supplements and working out a proper diet. The process of healing has been a journey, one which Maria has been by our side the whole way. I can hand on my heart say that Maria did help heal my daughter, we have our happy little girl back and she is thriving! Her pain is gone, her moods have lifted and she realizes the connection between her body and what she puts into it to make her strong, healthy and happy. What a gift Maria has been able to give my family, I am forever grateful.

I can’t thank Maria enough, she has changed my life for the better. Her knowledge and guidance is second to none. As an emergency services worker, I was diagnosed with PTSD. Whilst prescription medication played its role upon my initial diagnosis, I soon realised I didn’t want it to be a long term solution. Maria provided me with a natural, effective and sustainable alternative and I haven’t looked back.

I can’t thank enough Maria for her help and guidance. Her knowledge is next level, when she reads all test results she is able to straight away advice what needs to be fixed and how. Her plans are really customized to your needs and likings. And she is not there trying to rip you off. I have seen a huge difference in my symptoms, I have seen doctors, naturopaths, dermatology, endocrinologist and gynecologist with no results. Maria really shows that nutrition and food are real medicine Maria made the difference in my daily life with her knowledge and help. Highly recommend her to anyone in need of help or even to maintain an optimal level of health.

I have seen a myriad of doctors and specialists over the years but it was only after I found Maria that I started to see any improvement in both my general and mental health. She's incredibly knowledgable and has helped me make significant improvements in a very short amount of time through very specific diet and lifestyle changes. She is the absolute best in her field and I recommend her very highly!

Highly, highly recommend. Maria is brilliant. She knows her craft inside out and over a 6 month period has transformed my digestive health. I had a lot of bloating and discomfort which I had been suffering from for years. Maria quickly and accurately prescribed changes to my diet and some supplements to help get me back on track. Today as I type I feel great, bloating has completely gone and I feel a million times better. I said it at the start and I'll say it again... highly recommend.

We've worked with Maria for almost a year to help our eight-year-old son overcome metal toxicity. The results she's achieved for him in that space of time have been remarkable – he is healthier, stronger, calmer and significantly happier. We still have a way to go, but with Maria in our corner we feel consistently supported and armed with the best nutritional guidance to ensure his system continues to grow stronger every day. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

I came to Maria experiencing chronic gut health issues and literally becoming afraid of food as a result. Maria gave me great advice, got my gut tested and helped me correct my disbiosis with a diet plan and a regimen of supplements. I learned a lot about the gut and how it functions and what leads to disbiosis. She also gave me a great suggestion to see an ENT specialist about my nasal issues, I ended up getting surgery which has changed my life in a big way, after years of chronic congestion I can now breathe freely through my nose!

Not sure where to start… Maria has literally changed my entire family’s health for the better. I am SO grateful to have had the pleasure of working with her these past 18 months. Starting with my son who has ADHD & severe food & histamine related issues. After a month or 2 working with Maria he improved so such that we were finally able to take him to stores where he had previously been overwhelmed, he can now navigate with ease. He used to take melatonin to sleep but would still need to read for 2-3 hours before drifting off to sleep. Although he still needs the melatonin, he falls right to sleep! He used to complain about how difficult it was to walk up the stairs or run around the track in PE, now he blazes the trail when we hike & no longer complains of any pain! He used to be hungry all the time (he literally ate every 15 minutes) and now outside an occasional snack he eats his 3 meals and is satisfied without hunger pangs. I’m just in awe of his improvements. My other son used to suffer with generalized anxiety and social anxiety—living between a 4-6 on a scale of 1-10 on a daily bases and now has ZERO anxiety! During Covid it occasionally rose to a 1 or 2 but who was stressed?! My husband no longer deals with depression or anxiety either, which he suffered from his entire life! His energy is so much better as well. I’ve had numerous improvements but, best of all, Maria was able to balance out my body so that my thyroid function was normal for the first time in 30 years! I can’t say enough. She’s smart. Knowledgeable. Funny and kind. She has improved my life and the lives of those I love. I’m eternally grateful!!! Maria makes miracles happen. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I only wish we could meet in person (I’m in the US) I’d give her a great big hug!!

Maria was able to help me reduce alot of my joint pain and headaches by overhauling my diet and nutrition and providing high quality supplements. Alot of the foods I thought were good for me turned out to be actually making my issues worse. Would recommend.

We have been working with Maria now since February 2020. Maria has really assisted in healing my 8 year daughters gut health and compromised immune system. I have seen a radical change in my daughters behaviour, sensitivity and overall contentment, the transformation has been truly amazing. Our daughter feels so much better within herself and therefore it has impacted other areas in her life in such a positive way. The healing plan that Maria has recommended has been the best thing to support our daughters well-being we truly are very grateful.

Maria has been so helpful in helping my son with sensitivity and behavioural issues. He is doing so much better! After talking with Maria in an initial consultation about my concerns she suggested a non-invasive hair test which she had a strong suspicion on what was wrong, and she was right! She explained what his results meant and why they were presenting the way they were in him. Since starting his supplements he much more calm and words are slowly coming too. The supplements have made a huge difference. He's smiling so much more now and seems so much happier. Meltdowns are just now normal tantrums (toddler life!). Also, excluding dairy has cleared up all eczema on his legs and helped with his tummy pains. He even let me cut his nails the other day which I used to have to do when he was asleep! A huge thank you to Maria for everything she has done and has continued to help guide me through as we help my son become the happy little person I always knew he was supposed to be! Highly recommend!

Maria is treating both myself and my daughter for autoimmune issues. I've been incredibly impressed, not only by her depth of knowledge, but also by the way she takes time to ensure you clearly understand the issues and how to resolve them. Within a matter of weeks of following Maria's treatment plan, my daughter has stopped sniffing, the dark rings around her eyes are receding and she's got colour back in her face. And her concentration and mood has improved. The changes are quite profound. Thank you Maria!!

I am really happy with the progress so far even though this last couple of weeks I have been feeling not so good again. I think we are not at the end goal yet but I appreciate how knowledgeable Maria is and how she validates my concerns. I have seen many practitioners over the last few years and no one else has helped me feel the level of improvement that Maria has so far. A pleasure to work with. Thank you😘

I have seen Maria for my health concerns many times over the years and she is highly knowledgeable and an expert in her field. She is always across the latest research and is able to use this to support her recommendations. She was a genius in helping me piece together some of the many pieces of my health puzzle and I am now able to manage my health through diet and lifestyle. Maria was also a huge support during some mental health struggles, which I will be eternally grateful for : )

Maria's advice has been invaluable in helping me understand the link between gilberts syndrome, gut & mental health and the role diet and supplements play in recovery. She knows her stuff and my quality of life has dramatically improved. Thanks Maria!

I was a patient of Maria's for a few months. I was very pleased with the treatment she recommended. I saw many doctors and specialists for my symptoms. They ran countless tests and procedures and they came up with nothing. Maria worked a different approach and did come back with suggestions. I figured it couldn't hurt to try her treatment plan since my doctor's had no suggestions and 3 months later, my symptoms are gone and my blood labs have all improved. My one complaint is that while she offers the option to have calls via skype she's really not equipped to take patients outside of Australia. She does not have relationships with distributors of vitamin supplements, tests, etc in other companies so the shipping times and custom charges were a lot. Additionally, the time difference made it complicated to connect with her and when she travels there is no back up at her office. This is why I moved to a local provider.

Maria is very knowledgeable nutritionist & detoxologist. She points out the root causes not the symptoms. The best part is she also does online consulting and accepts online payments, so no matter where the patient is across the globe she can provide great consulting with no hassle. Would definitely recommend everyone.

Maria's approach to nutrition is very thorough and she uses functional medicine tests to help personalise treatment and avoid guesswork. Maria has been helping me address my complex and long standing health conditions as well as my son's health. Her expertise in understanding genetics, gut health and environmental toxicity is pretty unique. Highly recommended.

Highly highly recommend True Food Nutrition. I've been having some tough time in the past 2 years. Since seeing Maria and following her advise I feel like my real self again. It is been a blessing for me to have met her. She is warm and approachable, helpful, professional and very knowledgeable. Now my daughter is going to be seeing Maria as well.

Maria has helped me to get my life back on track and stop insulin resistance in it's track. She got my back on the Paleo wagon which has given me heaps more energy and so far I've managed to shed 16kg. It just works! I live on the other side of Sydney so it would have been very hard to have to go in and consult with Maria face to face but we managed to do our consultations via Skype which worked very well. I've got a new lease on life and I'm super grateful.

I've been seeing Maria for about 6 months now and she has found a number of issues that were causing my problems. I've noticed massive improvements in many areas. I am now living life without chronic pain and fatigue. Last Saturday I did a track day at Eastern Creek and it was the first time in many, many years that I can remember being physically able to do all 6 sessions (20min sessions) and ride until the chequered flag and then I could have still kept going. I used to have to stop after 10 or 12 minutes on the bike due to being physically drained and fatigued and then I'd snooze between sessions. It says a lot for food and nutrition, because I haven't gained fitness from exercise as I'm still not exercising other than walking my dogs. Highly recommend Maria if you want to get to the cause of your health issues.

My family has been seeing Maria for many years. Maria is a very knowledgeable practitioner and a very lovely person. I really love her wholistic approach and she treats every person as an individual with different needs. She is able to provide many practical ideas and help you to achieve your maximum health and happiness in a way that can fit within your means and lifestyle. She has really helped me and my son. I have seen a huge change in my son who was having difficulties concentrating and applying himself at school. He is now a much calmer, happy child able to apply himself with focus. We love Maria!!

I have been seeing Maria thanks to a dear recommmendation and could not have been more amazed by the results and insights gained! Also I do not like the word life changing I could not think of a better word to describe her work. Maria has such passion and knowledge and I have ever since I met her recommended and sent her everyone I care about in this world! Also I highly recommend combining Scott’s mindfulness program with her nutritional advice :) Thanks again to both of you for your amazing work and the impact on my life and the lives and love around me!

A truely thorough and dedicated practitioner. I had been to the doctor for a number of years to no avail m, but Maria, after doing thorough investigation, pressed to have my antibodies tested. It turns out I have had an autoimmune condition the whole time. I am now on medication from the GP supported by supplements recommended by Maria and my health is better than it was in my 20s! I am so grateful I found her!
