Maria Mitzikis is a trained cognitive behavioural therapist and nutritional therapist. She has had a love for food for as long as she can remember.

She uses food as a tool to help people find their life's passions and motivations and to re-nourish their lives.

She runs a nutrition and cooking school from people's own kitchens,
www.thefoodmuse.com.au teaching people how to use food as medicine.

She is an advocate for sustainable living and dedicates her free time teaching young people and children that food does not come from a drive through.

She lives on the beautiful South Coast of NSW with her two children.
