Maria Rigo
Maria Bares Rigo is a health coach, mother, and grandmother who divides her time between the Chicago suburbs and Carmel, Indiana. With twenty-five years of experience as a personal trainer, MELT practitioner, and Pilates instructor, she is passionate about helping clients build healthy, sustainable habits throughout their lives—including menopause and beyond. Recognizing the need for wellness education among children, Bares Rigo was inspired by her rescue Yorkie, Bella, to teach young kids the basics of healthy living: outdoor play, balanced nutrition, limited screen time, and making healthy habits fun and accessible through her stories.
