Meet Mahalia!

Mahalia is an evolving world-changer whose passion for helping others live in constant growth sets her apart. As Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition, a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, author, and a studying clinical herbalist, she has channeled her passions and life-learned lessons into creating a platform designed to help anyone obtain maximum mental, spiritual, and physical alignment. Mahalia’s vibrant and charismatic energy permeates from the inside out.

Since 2014, she has served as the Founder, Creative Director, and Visionary for Moments with Mahalia, also known as MWM. Her talents and unwavering drive have allowed her to transform MWM from a small-scale blog to a business that has reshaped the lives of many.

Mahalia’s love for being kind to oneself through avenues within health and wellness serves as the foundational pillar to living a life filled with genuine happiness, joy, peace, and purpose. Within her clinical practice she believes that making a step, no matter how great or small, into a direction that can better your total health and physical, mental, and spiritual well-being is not something to take lightly because it takes courage. Therefore, in demonstrating her practice's motto -“Building the Whole You”- she remains committed to addressing your concern(s) from a 360-degree perspective during every consultation.

Outside of living to serve something greater than herself, Mahalia enjoys cooking, sharing health tips, exercising, writing, and spending time with her beloved adventure pup - Canelo.

If asked what quote defines you, Mahalia may reiterate a few quotes or lessons learned, but the two she often reflects on are “You are only bound by the walls that you build yourself” and Ecclesiastes 9:11 because she believes that everyone has a precious story to tell. It’s only a matter of time before that story can influence someone else.
