Maria Nobeeza has always had a passion for healthy and natural living. So much, in fact, that she left her career as a realtor to open Maple Ridge Vitamin Centre, a store where people can get the products they need to help lead healthier lives. Maria's new career draws on the skills she developed in her previous career, but now she gets to see the results first hand. “I love helping people with their health and improving their lifestyle,” Maria says. “It’s very different from real estate. People come to me now and I can help them out with their needs right away.”
Maria went back to school to become a holistic nutritionist before opening the store. The training taught her not only about the products she sells, but how they can help people with certain conditions. “My training helps me a lot when it comes to people with specific issues,” she explains. “I can break things down for them so it makes more sense before they buy anything.”
