Maria Higgins, MS

Coach

I’m Maria - mama to three girls, Crossfit gym owner, wife and foodie living in Portland, Oregon. I have my Master’s degree in Nutrition and Functional Medicine, and I’ve been coaching clients 1-on-1 for 8 years. 

As a busy mom with little ones, I love working with clients who are in that pregnancy and postpartum phase of life. I also have experience with menopausal and other hormone support needs. 

My passion is helping people find the right rhythms that work to achieve their goals. I will push you to build on your habits, but I’ll also be your cheerleader as you accomplish your goals in this journey. Diving into something new can be scary and exciting at the same time. I’m here to positively impact everyone I get to work with because this program allows me to do that!

Dani P.

When Dani first came to WAG she had the goal of losing 25-30 pounds and gaining strength back after having her two kids. She has not only exceeded both of those goals, but she’s gained a ton of confidence in her body and what she’s able to do in the gym!
