About Me
Living with Nature was created at a pivotal point in my life. In 2019 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and my world crumbled around me. My perspective on life completely changed and I new I was changing. My career was at an all time high, cracking the Executive ranks of government. I pushed myself through surgery and treatment. I returned to work part-time and found myself trying to squeeze a full weeks work into three days for two years. This was exhausting and I could see no light at the end.
Post treatment advice was I needed to exercise and for those that know me, exercise was not a priority in my life. I was introduced to Sharelle Wagner qualified personal trainer and now my best friend, sister by heart and business partner. All I can say she is amazing and now I'm working out three times a week. Okay sometimes I drop a session or two, but never my massage.
During my fitness time, Sharelle would share with me her love of Essential Oils and chemical free living. After a short time I could see and feel the results. Every time I apply my essential oil my brain has a sensation of release. I haven't looked back and now loving to share my research and knowledge with you. I have really found my passion on a product I truly believe in and looking forward to sharing this with you. Sharelle is a sister to me and I am so grateful for her love and friendship.
I resigned from public service in 2021 after 35 years and now focus on Living with Nature by Maria. I have decided to go back to studying and doing the Master Clinical Aromatherapist Diploma through the Australian College of Aromatherapy.
I am passionate and look forward to sharing and supporting your journey.
