Maria began her journey in 2012, supporting athletes behind the scenes at Body Power as a runner for the tanning team. That early experience introduced her to the fast‑paced world of competition preparation and sparked a long‑term commitment to delivering stage‑ready colour. In 2017, she completed formal training and became a fully qualified, BABTAC‑registered spray tanning technician, refining the precise techniques needed to achieve consistent, high‑definition results under demanding stage lighting.
Today, Maria provides a dedicated service for bodybuilders and physique athletes across the UK. Her approach is built on accuracy, professionalism, and a deep understanding of what competitors need on show day. With years of backstage experience and trusted partnerships with IBFA UK and NPA, she ensures every athlete steps on stage with confidence, definition, and a flawless tan that elevates their presentation.
Her expertise has also led to opportunities to work internationally, providing competition tans in locations such as Malta, Georgia, Romania, Italy, Iraq, Mumbai (India), and many others – alongside her extensive work throughout the UK.
