“I have always been very inflexible and pretty bad at yoga but Maggie has made it so much more enjoyable for me. She is extremely knowledgeable and very patient. I was blown away by the level of attention she gave to every participant and thoroughly enjoy her leading style. Not to mention, I ate her meal plan for a week earlier this month and everything was incredible!”

“I learned so much having her as my health coach! I learned how to respect my body and actually care about continuing my road to a healthier lifestyle. It has been almost a year since the end of our sessions, and I still have the curiosity of how my life can be improved by healthier living that was instilled in me during our sessions. I also have the knowledge and determination to act on that curiosity, and I believe I would not have any of that if not for Drishti Holistic Health. Overall, this was an incredible experience, and I would recommend it to anyone!”

“Maggie taught a nutrition workshop and led a yoga class for our apartment community. For the nutrition workshop, Maggie was very prepared and presented information in a clear and engaging manner. Her knowledge of the material and the science behind the nutrition was evident. I learned so much and I continue to apply her suggestions to my daily nutritional choices! Her yoga class was equally excellent. Maggie created a relaxing atmosphere and led the sequences with confidence. I loved how she engaged with each participant, helping us to perfect each pose and taking time to focus on each individual’s needs. Maggie is incredibly talented!”
