We had the good fortune of connecting with Maria Vallasciani and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maria, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
When I opened MVNUTRITION I wanted to be able to help people build a better relationship with food and understand that nutrition should be a tool and not a limitation to performance, not only in sports, but in life in general.
I wanted for people to be able to engage with the process of fueling, and see food as a source to become healthier and better athletes

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
We are a Miami Based Nutrition Group Practice that works with all areas of nutrition with a. main focus in Sports and Clinical Nutrition or both kids and adults. We are now on year number 6. We started out of home visits and have grown into a pretty well established office and we see clients all over the world. Learning the business side of nutrition was a challenge, and staying up to date with tech advancements is a daily challenge as well as making the business more efficient so we can provide a better quality of service. I have learnt that you either do it with passion or do not do it at all cause being an entrepreneur is a 24/7 job and the only way to grow is by loving what you do. MVNUTRITION is not only a nutrition company, is a place where we want people to be comfortable sharing their story. We want them to become part of our family and feel supported through the entire process.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well, I will probably take them for a run, ride or a swim jajaja but Miami has multiple areas they can visit; from beaches, to city areas with great restaurants. My favorite spots are in the coral gables/coconut grove area (where my office is!)
