My name is Mary Jean Padalino, Holistic Health & Fitness Coach.

"My life is totally different now,
I have so much confidence..."

"I lost 65 pounds working with Mary Jean!  She has been an incredible influence in my life.

I had no idea what kind of foods to eat and what to avoid before her.  My life is totally different now, I have so much confidence and it has changed every aspect of my life.

I have 2 kids and a demanding career but I still have the energy to workout!  And the best part is that I have kept this weight off for two years now.

Mary Jean taught me how to cook delicious, healthy meals for my entire family so that I could lose weight without having to spend hours in the kitchen cooking different meals for everybody.

She also helped me turn my favorite recipes into healthy versions that tasted just as delicious and helped me plan healthy snacks for all of us.  My whole family has benefited from eating healthier.

Mary Jean also exposed me to the importance of exercise and designed an exercise program for me and she even taught me how to workout more efficiently so I could get the most out of the little time that I had left for exercising after my hectic day.

I saw results right away and now I have sexy, shapely arms and legs and my stomach is flat…all after two kids!

Mary Jean ignited a passion in me for exercise and I can't imagine life without it now, I really look forward to my workouts after a long day!

I don't know where I'd be without Mary Jean but I definitely would not be the confident woman that I am today, with a body that I am proud of!"

"Mary Jean really represents someone
with the know-how and ability to teach..."

"I have always strived to maintain a healthy lifestyle and good well being and because of this I didn't really think I was in danger of any major health risks usually associated with poor diet.

So now, at age 36, I find that I have high cholesterol.  What a bummer! One of the first things I did was to converse with Mary Jean.

She was able to make some simple suggestions on how I could remedy my cholesterol to a lower number.  Mary Jean saw flaws in my diet that I really didn't pay too much mind to but the reality was I needed some improving.

I didn't have to make any drastic eating changes, just make some here and there and foods to cut back or avoid in order to reduce my cholesterol, Mary Jean really taught me a lot about food.

In regards to working out, Mary Jean gave me effective tips on how to get a flatter belly and a smaller waist size.  Much of my abdominal routine was a large series of crunches which stopped being effective long ago.

With her advice, I was able to go down a belt size and finally start seeing some visible abs in under a month's time!

Mary Jean really represents someone with the know-how and ability to teach another with little to no knowledge how to maintain a healthy body weight and get the desired physical results they seek.

She woke me up to a lot of gaps with eating and exercising and for that I am so grateful to have her available and very thankful for all she has taught me. Thanks Mary Jean!"

"Mary Jean taught me to believe in myself
and that I could lose weight."

"I am a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding next month and at my fitting last week they had to take my dress in!  At the rate I am losing weight I am going to have to have the dress altered AGAIN before the wedding!

I have tried to lose weight in the past but have never stuck with it.  In the first two weeks working with Mary Jean and not really changing my diet that much, I lost 7 pounds!

She helped me eat right, taught me which foods were good and which were not so good and why.  Mary Jean explained when to eat, what to eat, and how to prepare the food so that I could lose weight. 

I’m never hungry, I eat food that tastes great, and it definitely doesn’t feel like I am “on a diet”.

I have always been athletic so working out isn’t new to me but Mary Jean introduced me to weight training and to working out different muscles in my body.  She explained what working out with weights could do for shaping my body and for burning fat.

Most importantly, Mary Jean taught me to believe in myself and that I could lose weight.  And I did, quickly, and that was really motivating! 

She taught me things about food and exercise that I never knew. 

Mary Jean was there every step of the way for me, answering whatever questions I had and personalizing my nutrition plan so that I could eat food I loved and still lose weight. 

I am sure that I will be able to keep this weight off for life because she taught me how to eat for everyday life, not how to go on a diet.  She has definitely helped me change me."

"I was full of energy I never had in the past."

"Thanks to working with Mary Jean, I can look in the mirror these days and love who I see!

It has not always been this way, I had fallen into a downward spiral of poor health, exhaustion, and depression after just two short years of working for the railroad. My days seemed to be nothing more than work, broken sleep patterns, and waiting by the phone for my next assignment.

My diet consisted of caffeine, fast food, and alcohol. I rarely saw my friends and family and my work peers were other out of shape, unhealthy men aging way before their time.

Time and time again I would ask myself, how did I let this happen? How is this my life? Is this as good as it gets?

One day I asked myself the most important question of all, how do I CHANGE? I wanted desperately to feel good again, to love my body again, to love life again!

Shortly thereafter I began working with Mary Jean.

Not only did she provide me with an effective workout and diet plan that fit my busy schedule, but also the knowledge I was lacking in exercise and nutrition, thus giving me with the proper tools to help me help myself!

After only a few weeks I began to see unwanted fat replaced with lean muscle mass, I was full of energy I never had in the past, and my self esteem was at an all time high! Best decision I ever made!"
