I'm a firm believer that the universe gives you what you need and not what you want. It was during a stage of need that I started attending sessions with Maria. My life was at a cross roads and I was in a place of searching. Maria guided me through this time with her nurturing and when required forceful guidance. At every part of my journey I felt I was in safe hands and in a space where I could share without criticism or judgment. I was given the tools to re structure my life and answer those deep meaningful questions that were required in my healing process. I can strongly recommend Maria to anybody who needs to find answers and guidance in this changing world...

I met Dr Maria 10 years ago when my oldest son’s first tooth appeared. What immediately struck me about her was her empathy and sensitivity to each of us – as individuals. Since then we have been on an incredible journey together as a family being her patients, and as myself seeing her on a one-on-one basis for “Heal Your Life” and Kinesiology sessions. Maria has been an angel in our lives… She has walked with all of us, but especially with myself, hand in hand, guiding the way. Helping me to find my own truth. I can highly recommend her for all the roles she has taken on in this life: Paediatric Specialist, Heal Your Life Coach, Functional Medicine and Nutrition Coach, Touch for Health Practitioner, friend…Thank you for being in our lives Maria!

 I started seeing Dr Maria regarding a traumatic breakup I had been through with my partner. I found our time together incredibly helpful in rebuilding my self-worth, my being and my path moving forward. Since then we have advanced to building me a new path of self-discovery, working through past negative life experiences, and life goals. We are constructing my ideal "Blue-print “- something I could use as a plan for my life. The meaning of my existence is something very important to me, Dr Maria is helping me to find meaning and purpose, in doing so, we are able to improve my quality of life - A priceless asset

Before I came to see Dr Maria I had been to countless conventional doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors and therapists. I was diagnosed with depression, generalised anxiety, social anxiety, ADD, bipolar disorder and mild psychosis. I have been on more antidepressants than I can remember, as well as anti-psychotics, anxiolytic drugs and sleeping pills. Needless to say, these drugs weren’t very effective in treating me. I had succumbed to addiction in various forms in my own efforts to self-medicate, and some of these prescription drugs only served to fuel my addiction...

Found this amazing practitioner: Dr Maria that was referred to me by Dr. Adri v.d. Walt, who had met her but not familiar with her work. Maria works with kids, but more specifically challenged children and she is trained in how to handle and work with them understanding their psychology and behaviour. I took Kyle to see her, a little nervous as he is normally very anxious and un-cooperative in new surroundings. Kyle left with a huge smile and a toy as a gift and her gloves which she filled with air and drew a face on. Kyle is now looking forward to going back! I was amazed at how well she handled him and would recommend her for anyone with special needs children. No other practitioner would have this amount of patience and calmness...

Thanking you so very much and keep well. Fondest Regards

I was truly wowed by Dr Maria and her staff, the personalization they gave my daughter was fantastic. As a Mom of a 3 year old daughter, at our first appointment they made sure that their primary goal was to make sure that my daughter Amaani had a great experience. Dr. Maria did a fantastic job explaining to me and my daughter what she was doing, during the examination she blew up a surgical glove to show Amaani what the instrument she was about to use does etc. she did that with all her instruments. Loved that! What really put a smile on my face, was when my daughter said to me as we were driving home “mommy, I like dr Maria, she is so nice”.

My name is Nicky and I am a mother of four children and i live in Cape Town. A few years ago I was diagnosed with a chronic disease for which I received two cycles of chemo. I desperately needed assistance in dealing with the shock of it and to learn how to continue with my life as I felt like I was running around without direction and sinking into a deep pit of fear and depression. Fortunately for me I was introduced to Dr Maria Theologides who happens to be trained in Functional Medicine as well as a HYL (Heal Your Life) therapist in Camps Bay. Soon after I started seeing her I learnt to trust her with all my fears...

The experience of being diagnosed with cancer followed with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy left me emotionally and physically exhausted. Dr Maria extended a lifeline to me to put the pieces of my life back together. She has helped me focus on the most important things with practical tools to overcome my issues. What I found exceptionally profound was exploring my emotional landscape of fear, anger and sadness with Dr Maria as my safety net. Her nurturing and humorous approach has encouraged me to find peace in the moment and make my healing and health a priority.

Paeds Specialist dr Maria is the BEST doc in the whole world. (Seriously!) She is so kind and sweet towards them and always relaxes them when we come for our check-ups. She has squeezed us in for an emergency appointment in the past when it was her day off! She also always gives the boys a fun gift after the appointment. Best dentist EVER!

Thanks to Dr Maria Theologides and her team (Marli and Despo) little Jaxon (11 weeks old), who was born with his two lower incisors, which made feeding both painful for him and me, can now feed peacefully and with no more discomfort. They found a way to protect his tongue from the 2 little bottom teeth scraping against it by creating a special gum guard for him. All this, along with so much love and attention. Thank You so much

When I first met with Dr Maria in February 2015, I was at a complete loss as to why I had been feeling so desperately unhappy and unfulfilled for an extended period of time, despite “having it all” on the surface. My 12 month journey with Dr Maria started with gaining a thorough understanding of the various influences, past and present, that shaped me. The understanding process continued throughout and many valuable lessons were learnt...
