As a professional singer she was in the Broadway Company of Cats the Musical (Broadway Revival) and toured nationally and internationally with West Side Story, Evita and The Sound of Music.

With Bloom and Grow Radio, Maria is a self-proclaimed &quot;Plant Killer turned Plant Lady&quot; on a mission to help every person successfully care for houseplants- no matter how small their home is. She believes if you can learn the empathy and kindness required to care for plants, you'll bring those skills into the world and make it a kinder and greener place. Beth Clayton (your host) is a soul-based life and health coach and loves to help open-hearted people break free from their own self-sabotage, outdated thought patterns, and past pain so they can deepen their relationship with their own soul\u2019s intuition, speak their truth courageously and fulfill their most authentic desires.
