This was her 1st time competing!
"Maria Beall is more than a fitness expert and pageant coach - she will
change your life! I came to her as a first time pageant contestant. She
encouraged me and made a complete plan for me to follow. When my
husband and I had unexpected medical bills, she worked within my new
budget without leaving me to feel like I wasn't getting the absolute
best she had to offer. Even though I just came to her for pageant
coaching, she inspired me to begin to live a healthier lifestyle - just
by being around her. Her excitement, energy, and passion are
contagious! Her coaching is the sole reason I was able to win 2nd
runner-up at the Mrs. Virginia-America pageant - my first pageant! She
is now more than my inspiration and coach, she is my friend."

"Maria, thank you so much for all of your help and wonderful fitness direction this past year. As a business management consultant, my job keeps me on the road four days a week which has made it difficult for me to stick with a traditional fitness routine. Having you as my virtual coach, while using your personalized fitness and nutrition program, was a BIG help in preparing for the US Continental pageant. The best part of your program is how you customized it to fit my hectic work schedule and constant travel. It was so nice to be able to talk to you about nutrition “on the road” and exercises I can do in my hotel when I can't get to a gym – you are the best!"

You might be hearing from them, as they were interested in finding out how to get into contact with you so that they may ask about coaching for their teenaged daughters. I gave them your website address!
Also, I wanted to tell you again how much I appreciate your encouragement, and for giving me the opportunity of sharing with me some of your great knowledge, and the means to be more confident while competing in pageants.

On April 30, I competed in the America's Ultimate Queen competition in Indianapolis, Indiana. I won interview, fashion wear runner-up, America's Ultimate Queen Staff Award and overall evening gown.
Finally, the moment came when they announced the overall America's Ultimate Queen, Overall Highpoint Winner, Margaret Blackwell. All of the hard work and help from Maria paid off. I would like to thank Maria and encourage others to take steps to make their dream a reality.
In college I was a national championship cheerleader for Morehead State University. I thought I would always be in shape. Well, that wasn't the case. I have lost 5 pounds (since on Maria's program) and now weight 105 pounds! The cardio and strength training workouts really rock! I now have muscle tone and definition like I did when cheering. The workout and nutrtional program has changed my life. You are a true believer that everyone can look great and feel their best."

"I went to Maria to focus my fitness training towards pageants. I had
already lost 30 pounds since my first competition. However, I was in a
fitness rut. Maria was able to give me workouts to do at home or at the
gym. With my work schedule I never knew if I was going to make it to
the gym before it closed. I also have a torn disk in my low back. Maria
helped me modify my cardio and strength workouts to accommodate my lower
back injury. I competed at Virginia Beauties of America in the 20's
division. This was my first competition where I felt confident about my
body. Maria gives you confidence through physical and mental fitness
training!"

I recently decided to return to pageants after an absence of more than twenty years. I found myself completely unprepared for the intensive interview process of pageants for married women and turned to Maria for help. After just a few sessions, I’ve seen so much progress and I have used her principles in my every day life as a member of Toastmasters and as a volunteer for the American Heart Association. Her coaching sessions have even helped me in my job in Marketing and Public Relations for an Enterprise Resource Management software company. Thank you, Maria"

Ms. Delmarva 2006
"For many years I tried to go about preparing for pageants on my own and this was very unsuccessful. I knew in my heart that I could be successful in pageants but was going about it all wrong. Once Maria guided me, I did exactly what I was told. I practiced in my gown and shoes everyday. I also practiced my speech. It paid off the next pageant that I entered. I won and that simply showed me that she gave me the confidence and the belief in myself that at 38 years old I could be a winner. Without Maria and the coaching she gave me I wouldn't be Ms. Delmarva 2006."

Maria, thank you so much for your friendship, your coaching, your encouragement, and for all of the extras that you helped with. I appreciate you so much.

From the beginning, Maria was excited about my personal goals and designed a specific program to fit my needs. She balances the right amount of cardio and weight training to create fast results!! The definition I saw in a very short amount of time was amazing. She gave me new insight on how to get into shape.
And as far as Interview, I went from not even ranking in the top 3 for Interview to WINNING Interview after one session with Maria. She focuses on discovering your personal strengths and gives you easy to follow strategies and tips that will help you feel more confident and self-assured in Interview and beyond.
She is the total package!! I feel very lucky and blessed to have found Maria.
