About our Founder

I’m Maria Lyn Vitou. I’m a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and the founder of Phos Wellness.

I have two autoimmune diseases - Celiac and Hashimoto’s. Through my journey of managing these conditions, I discovered my true passions: functional nutrition, and a personalized, holistic approach to health & wellness.

I feel a calling to help others become the healthiest versions of themselves, reach their highest potential, and spread joy and light into the world.

I’m also a mom, which has brought me a whole new perspective on the importance of healthy habits. My focus is helping busy people and their families feel their best so that they can enjoy life with their loved ones.

Phos Wellness Co. encompasses my one-on-one health coaching practice and online community.

Here, you’ll find resources, tools, education, and content on topics such as Functional Nutrition, Autoimmune and Chronic Conditions, Mind-Body Connection, Sleep Health, Gut Health, and Hormone Health.

Soon, as part of my one-on-one Health and Wellness Coaching offerings, I’ll be offering additional services such as Functional Medicine labs and custom Functional Lifestyle protocols.

About Health and Wellness Coaching

Trying to manage an autoimmune or chronic condition and frustrated with a lack of improvement in your symptoms? Wish you had more energy to live your life? Wish you could get more consistent & better quality sleep so you can stop relying on coffee to get you through the day? Struggling to shed weight?

Each person is unique, as are their health histories, struggles, and goals. By working with a Health and Wellness Coach, you get a partner and guide who works with you to develop a deeply personalized plan to address your specific needs.

As your Health and Wellness Coach, I provide support, education, resources, structure, and accountability to help you reach YOUR goals, manage YOUR conditions, and enhance your health in the ways that are important to YOU.

My Qualifications and Approach

I have completed multiple years of coursework to achieve Board Certification as a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (through the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC)).

Additionally, I have completed coursework in Functional Nutrition, Autoimmune and Chronic Diseases, Gut Health, and Hormone Health to become a mindbodygreen Functional Nutrition Expert.

I have gained years of extensive experiential knowledge by not only managing my own autoimmune conditions, but also by helping many clients reach their health and wellness goals.

I take a holistic and bio-individualized approach to health and wellness. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and that each person’s unique attributes should be factored in to their health goals and plan.
