About Mary

Welcome to the Mary Moppsy Newsletter, where each recipe and piece of advice is a chapter in the story of resilience, health, and culinary joy. Mary, the driving force behind this initiative, is a testament to the healing power of food and fitness. A breast cancer survivor, Mary's battle with the disease was a catalyst for change, guiding her towards a profound discovery: the integral role of nutritious cooking and regular exercise in her recovery and ongoing health. This realization ignited a deep-seated passion to nurture not just herself but also her loved ones with meals that comfort, heal, and energize. Now, as a grandmother, Mary's kitchen is a haven of creativity, where simple ingredients are transformed into extraordinary, wholesome dishes.

Mary's professional journey in the fitness industry is as rich and varied as the recipes she creates. With over two decades of experience, she has left a lasting impact on many, particularly during her 16 years at the world famous destination Cal-a-Vie Health Spa in Vista, CA. Nestled beside the rolling hills of Vista Ca., Mary's days began with spirit warming dawn hikes through the picturesque hills, followed by leading up to four fitness classes daily. Her repertoire included Spin, Rowing, Strength Training, Core Classes, Balance, Stretch and Release, and Water Exercise, specializing in adapting these disciplines for older adults. Mary's comprehensive approach extended to conducting fitness evaluations, assessing blood pressure, cholesterol levels, flexibility, bicep strength, and cardiovascular health. This breadth of experience, coupled with previous roles at the Golden Door in Escondido, CA, and LA Fitness in Vista, CA, underscores her holistic view of health and wellness, emphasizing the transformative power of physical activity and emotional well-being.

Mary's culinary and wellness endeavors have not only enriched the lives of her family but also those of her clients, including one of Mary's cherished clients at Cal A Vie Graziella, Founder of a popular skin care brand. Graziella's testimonial, "Remember to follow your heart, your passions, your desires, because it’s not about money; it’s about creation. This leads to success," highlights the profound impact Mary has had through her unique blend of fitness instruction and nutritional guidance.

Drawing from her personal journey of recovery, extensive professional experience, and a life filled with cooking for those she loves, Mary infuses each edition with wisdom, love, and encouragement to lead a fulfilling and healthy life.
