I write this with the deepest gratitude, for my recent trial in confidence and lifestyle training. Confidence in realizing I really can change my attitude in losing weight.  

It’s called the 21 day jumpstart as a way to change some significant dietary, and amazingly simple habits. It is so much more than this though, because it is about retraining your brain to think differently about food, its consumption, its value, and nourishment content.

It is about developing a skill-set, which ultimately addresses the balance of mind, body and soul. It is hard to believe a guided, hands-on training could make such a difference in my consciousness, but it has.

I know this is a cliché but I have tried many avenues to lose excess weight. Although I didn’t really lose a significant amount, it is more that I lost inches and you can visibly see the difference in the shape of my body.  

The connection with others is definitely helpful in providing the support necessary to continue and not undo what you have accomplished.  

I really do feel great and, most of all, grateful.

“Before starting Maureen’s 21-day Jump Start program, I was struggling with my eating habits. I needed something to get myself back on track. Over a 2 1/2 year period I had lost 25 pounds (actually following another program with Maureen!). I was beginning to feel “puffy” and knew that I needed to do something to “jump start” my weight loss again.

In working with Maureen, I have seen great results. Not only in weight loss, but in my mood, attitude, mental clarity, and muscle tone. Her programs are not easy, but they are effective. Maureen will teach you what to eat and how much!

My weight loss at times seems like it has been a very slow process. However, the weight is gone. Thanks to Maureen, I know what to do to get back on track. Her programs are hard, but very do-able AND effective.

I would recommend Maureen’s program to anyone who wants to lose weight and gain muscle. She knows how to help women over 50!

I am 55 years old and going strong. I can out exercise some of my very younger co-workers!”

Maureen made it seem so easy, do-able…She was BRILLIANT…I am stunned. I have lost about 17 POUNDS! I shaved almost 20 INCHES of “ick” of my doughy frame. Best of all, I opened my “skinny box” and THE CLOTHES FIT AGAIN!!

What’s even more remarkable is the fact that I turned out to be one of the FINALISTS in the worldwide Turbulence Training Transformation Contest for the “women over 40” category…If I had known that I could REALLY do THIS, I’d have actually tried years ago!

Before Maureen’s program, I’d put on about 5 lbs and gone over my “weight limit” – the weight that I try to never exceed. Personally, when I’m serious about getting down to a certain weight, I have to at least count all calories, using My Fitness Pal. That’s always worked, but it’s a slow process making it rather disheartening.

 The 21 Day Jumpstart was so different from what I usually do (keep fat down and don’t worry about carbs).

The first day was tough – all that protein! However, I started to lose weight immediately. It seemed to start melting off. I couldn’t believe how fast it happened! That kept me “honest” – sticking to it with just minor blunders.

I never did quite make it to the high level of protein I was supposed to eat daily, and admit I used up a lot of my carb allowance with chardonnay many nights a week, yet I still lost ALL the weight I’d hoped to. And I’ve stuck to my ideal weight since (or within a pound of it; my scale has lost it ever-loving mind).

It’s changed my eating habits; I’m more cautious now about eating breads and cereals. I think of sugar as evil and keep all of this down to a dull roar. So far, several weeks later, this change is keeping me at the weight I want to be – thank you Maureen!

I think the program would work for any non-vegetarian/vegan whose health allows for it. Well, my friends who firmly believe in a super-low-fat diet would not be fans.

Everyone else could benefit if they want to shed some poundage!”

Before I started working with Maureen in her VIP coaching group, my diet and exercise were sporadic at best. I “sort of” knew what I should be eating and doing for exercise as mature, over-forty lady. 

Maureen took the guesswork out of it for me, and did it the most gentle, yet confident, way. She met me where I was and built from there. Each week we added a new healthy habit and the exercises in the group became a little more challenging.

Today, after my 90 days with Maureen, I am confident in my eating and exercise choices. Maureen understands the over forty female mind and she spoke in a “language” that was easy for me to understand. I can’t recommend Flat Belly Breakthrough highly enough!

P.S. I also lost pounds and inches!

I would highly recommend Maureen for anyone looking to up their fitness game. She is friendly, personable, patient, very knowledgeable, and super-flexible in dealing with different environments and modalities.

For example, during Covid, we improvised our routine with beautiful beach hikes, yoga on the lanai, outdoor stretch and strengthening classes, chair exercises, exercise bands tied to the outdoor fence–you name it!… She is very sporty, upbeat and fun to be with.

Maureen has customized fitness plans for both me, and for my husband separately, identifying our individual movement issues and personalities. 

 As a 64-year-old woman, my struggles were due to my own lack of motivation and energy, but also a lack of routine due to a tremendous amount of corporate travel. After a recent hip replacement, I really wanted to focus on regaining strength and achieving a better range of motion. I also wanted to address posture, bone health and overall fitness as I age. 

I want to feel supple, not brittle!

I have to say, one of the BEST results when working with Maureen was that I just FELT great after finishing a workout session with her. She pushed me just enough to still make it fun; encouraging me to continue my wellness journey, even when I am on my own.

I look forward to my next visit to Hawaii, so I can see Maureen and feel how much I’ve progressed!

Before using Maureen’s Flat Belly Breakthrough program my life was busy and I wasn’t paying as much attention to my health and nutrition as I needed to.

Within the first two months, I became more focused; Maureen really helped me dial in my nutrition. I loved the support and accountability she offered, and the weekly challenges and check-ins. 

I’m so glad I joined this program because today I am in much better health!

Before starting Maureen’s Flat Belly Breakthrough program I was struggling with what foods I needed to eat to get on a healthy “diet”. So many times, I would not eat thinking that’s the best way to lose weight. Wrong!  Maureen’s plan guided me in the right direction.

Young or old, underweight, overweight this program is for you to get eating healthy – for your body as well as for your mind. 

My life was busy and I never took time for myself. Within the first two months I was making better food choices and improved my exercise routine because I put it in my calendar.

I’m so glad I joined this program because Maureen was there for guidance, support, recipes and patience to keep me motivated to succeed!

Fat loss for women over the age of 40 can be incredibly frustrating and heart breaking. You watch your body changing, sometimes seemingly overnight, and it’s hard to know who can help and who understands exactly what you’re going through.

In Maureen’s straightforward, easy-to-follow program she takes you by the hand and reassures you that it can be different, you can re-discover your waistline and your energy!

She’s a great role model for women over 40 because she’s been there and done that. And shown countless women how they can “do that” too.

To all stroke survivors & individuals needing better balance: Contact Maureen!

Not only does she address core issues & resolve specific problem areas, she does it with kindness & humor! She’ll research additional exercises to fit your individual needs and provide suggestions to do on your own, too.

Within one month, I had gained enough stamina and confidence to walk much further.

Get started & stay with it — you’ll feel better.

Thanks, Maureen!

Because I sustained a traumatic brain injury 8 years ago, I am typically confined to a wheelchair.


Learning to walk again takes a lot of patience and skill development. When I am in Hawaii for the winter months, Maureen helps me improve what’s needed to stand longer and walk farther. Everything we do is in coordination with my care team at home. I can tell she really believes in me and wants me to succeed. It shows on her smiling face.


In addition to the physical training, I have been working with Maureen to lose weight to feel better and move more easily. When I’m not in Hawaii, I love the convenience of our online meetings. We strategize around important habits, take small steps, and treat everything as an experiment. I’m a foodie and love that Maureen will customize gourmet recipes for me so I can still eat delicious foods while losing weight. I’m delighted to report that I’ve already lost nearly 30 pounds and am close to my goal weight! 


I recommend working with Maureen if you need help losing weight or building balance, strength and coordination – even if you’ve sustained a serious neurological injury. Thanks in part to Maureen, I’m looking forward to walking independently again!

Before joining this group, my life was out of control.  I was able to get back on track and make better food choices.  It’s about moving more and exercising.  By being in the group you’re able to hear input from others who are having the same issues.  Sharing new ideas and ways to prepare foods has helped.

I now have the tools I need to maintain a healthy life and to stay on track.  Thanks again!
