Meet Maria, that's me. It's also the name of my company Meet Maria Inc. In my personal and professional life I strive to bring hope, cheer and beauty to all I meet. By helping others, I realize my many blessings in life and have the desire to use all my gifts in a way which benefits all. Too many people in the world are stressed, depressed and oppressed, contributing to the massive disconnect from the oneness that is everything. The lack of a relationship with the divine causes much of the suffering in the world. If each individual found their connection with the divine and lived in accordance to that, the world would be a much better place to live in. I believe I can help each person relieve some the weight of the world they carry. Through my healing services, skincare products, and guidance for the spirit, I will make a difference. Each person I help is then freely able to find and follow their bliss, thereby making the world a better place. I want to help people find all the greatness within themselves.
My current goal is to take Meet Maria, to the next level with massage therapy. Training will give me, and the company I have created, a wide range of advantages. Lotion Potion, the foundation product of the company, took me five years to formulate successfully. To really succeed I have learned I must delegate tasks, roles and responsibilities. To work smarter not harder. Much of the learning about running this business I have done on my own. I taught myself graphic design with programs like Adobe Photoshop. I have learned html and website management on my own. A great deal of my time is spent researching product formulation methods, cosmetic ingredients, cosmetic chemistry, marketing strategies and competition. Now, I must learn the human aspect of the business. I need to understand how the body works and how to relieve suffering. I decided that this teaching task needed to be delegated. An authorized place I could go to learn from teachers and fellow students. Where there was a curriculum, hands on experience and like minded people. I found this place in Everest College and the massage therapy program. Within one year of this program, I will be trained to do more than I could do on my own in five years. Plus, with more training comes a greater level of respect through accreditation. Massage Therapy also gives me a method of product marketing and distribution that is unique and original. I have a creative essence and use my inspiration and imagination to make others happy. The ultimate goal is to offer a handful of high quality holistic products and services.
As well as being an entrepreneur, I am a wife and mother. My family, immediate and extended, are of the greatest importance to me. Giving back to the community is one of my core values in life. Currently I serve as the Vice President of my high school alumnae committee.
The other passion I have in life is for the arts. I enjoy theater both acting and watching, music, dance and writing. Most of all though I love Photographs. I like being in front of the camera lens and working behind it. And for added fun I enjoy using Photoshop to create Genuinely Unique images.
I was born 10/26/80 and that makes me a Scorpio. Yes, I am very into Astrology, as Carl Jung put it “We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born” I feel it is a great tool to help strengthen my connection with the Universe and help guide me through life.
