About Maryana

Hi, I'm Maryana, the founder behind Raised on Real Food where I work with families around the world including New Zealand where I live with my husband, daughter and dog.

I am an integrative nutrition consultant who studied with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and for the last ten years have helped my clients overcome their health challenges by incorporating nutrient dense foods, addressing digestion and immunity through gut healing, supporting vitamin and mineral deficiencies, reducing the toxin burden, reducing hypersensitivity and building tolerance for lasting food freedom.

 

When my daughter had eczema, allergies and failure to thrive, I consulted both medical and natural health practitioners but never found anyone who really seemed to understand what was going on, and only threw different creams or products at me so I decided to figure it out myself and dedicated myself to hours and hours of researching. After putting what I learned into practice, not only did her challenges resolve in record time, she began to visibly thrive and  shine before our calls.

​

I care deeply about making a real difference, and that's what makes me a force to be reckoned with. What sets me apart is not only having a deep understanding of these topics inside and out which allows me to recognise patterns and quickly identify key interventions, it's also being able to truly relate to the struggles you're facing and how to break down resolution into practical, accessible steps that actually make sense.

 

Overcoming my daughter's challenges shaped me into the parent and practitioner I am today and is the driving force behind what I do. No matter what challenges you're facing, I've seen first hand the transformations that occur when people are given the right tools, support, education and guidance - and it's this I thrive on offering others.
