My Story

Hello! I’m Maralana,  founder of Go. Do. Be® Empowering Life. I know first hand the importance of motivation and support in achieving healthy living goals and began my own wellness journey over 20 years ago.  After being diagnosed with a Benign Brain Tumor (that sits on my pituitary gland) and finally realizing why I struggled so hard with weight issue, migraines, and fatigue.  By working in Massage Therapy I was able to diminish the power migraines had over my life.  With this new found strength I continued my health journey by losing 150lbs.  The quest for a healthy, active lifestyle led me to my Go. Do. Be.® business that is accredited with helping individuals lose over 2,000 lbs. in its first year. Confidence was key to her start.

As I began to excel in this new life, it was clear that I needed to become more active and was ready to start really living!  I developed a passion for working out, incorporating a mix of gym workouts with outdoor sports- snowboarding and mountain biking. As I began to lose weight I gained confidence as others were now seeking her advice! I became an NASM Certified Personal Trainer so that I could continue to provide those around her with the right answers as well as take an active roll in her continuing weight loss.
