About Me

---

Hi there! 

My name is Mariah, I am a certified Functional Nutritionist and personal trainer as well as the Founder of Connected Roots. My journey into this beautiful realm of health and wellness began right after college. At that point I had been consistently working out in the gym and eating what I thought was a healthy and balanced diet and yet I had started to experience symptoms I had never had before; gut issues (bloating and stomach pains), hormone imbalances (irregular periods and PMS), brain fog, extremely red and dry eyes, eczema, fatigue and more. 

After many trials and errors and my education of functional nutrition, I was able to completely heal myself from all those pesky, confusing and irritating symptoms.  Now it is my mission to help guide others on how to heal themselves naturally and connect the dots back to the root causes so that we are left with long-term sustainable results. 

I understand how overwhelming it can feel to be lost and unsure about what steps to take toward feeling better. But here's my promise: there is a solution. Remember, your body is always working FOR you, not against you. The key is learning how to understand the signs and symptoms it's giving you. By tuning in and responding with the care and support it needs, healing becomes possible.
