"The Art of Living Well"
Aperitivo Living was created from a simple idea:
that the healthiest, most fulfilling lives aren’t built through extremes - they’re built through rhythm, intention, and pleasure.
In Italian culture, aperitivo is a pause before the main event. A moment to gather, unwind, and savor what’s already good - not as an indulgence, but as a ritual. Aperitivo Living brings that same philosophy to modern health, creativity, and work.
Here, it isn’t about restriction or perfection.
It’s about designing a life that feels nourishing, sustainable, and deeply personal.
Aperitivo Living exists at the intersection of health coaching, creative direction, and lifestyle design. I work with individuals and brands who want more than quick fixes - people who value balance, aesthetics, and meaning as much as results.
Through coaching, content, and creative work, Aperitivo Living helps you:
-
Build habits that support your nervous system, not fight it
-
Create routines that leave space for joy, not guilt
-
Align your work, health, and creativity into something that actually feels good to live
Aperitivo Living is for those who believe life
isn’t something to power through -
it’s something to be designed, savored, and lived.

The Art of Vibrant Living
A collection of testimonials that celebrate doing the work. From healing autoimmune conditions and rewriting relationship with food - Aperitivo is for everyone.
"Being at a very transitional age, I was having a hard time navigating what I wanted out of life and who I wanted to become. I've always been a fad dieter and over exerciser, so when I reached out to Maya I was hoping to find some balance and guidance in my life- she did exactly that. I can't speak more highly of her, she was supportive, encouraging, easy to talk and open up to.
During every session, I always felt like 100% of her attention was focused on me and helping me navigate what would work best for me and my lifestyle. She paved the route for a healthy, sustainable lifestyle and I'm so excited to see where I can go from here."

"When I started this program I did not know what to expect, as it was the first time I ever had a life coach. I had a few issues that I felt needed some focus and I was afraid that it was going to be too difficult and overwhelming to focus on them and try and work through them.
Luckily, that was not the case and the 3 months provided just enough time to tackle them and work on ways to overcome these issues. I learned so much about myself, my issues, and ways to work through them."

"There was a lot of life change and I felt like I was able to meet my goals because Maya kept me accountable. She was realistic and we were able to compose a gameplan every time we met. Little victories are victories! She is compassionate and caring; you can tell how she genuinely wants the best for her clients."

"Working with Maya changed my outlook on life and shifted my relationship with my body in a positive way. Prior to her services, I felt out of control and like a stranger in my own body. Through the 6-month program, I bettered my relationship with food and movement into something positive, healthy, and even fun. She is very knowledgable and just a pleasure to work with."
