Today we’d like to introduce you to Maria Veber.
Hi Maria, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I have been in healthcare since the 1980s, working in Nursing Homes, Homecare, and then ICUs, ER, and the OR as a RN. Those years at the bedside shaped how I see people, illness, and responsibility—especially during moments when clarity, skill, and calm truly matter.
Later I stepped into corporate leadership roles and spent several years working in large organizations where performance, efficiency, and shareholder expectations often guided decision-making. That experience opened my eyes to a whole new world of opportunity. Over time, it became clear that I wanted to serve something more lasting than quarterly results.
Ultimatley it is also what led me back to clinical practice and becoming a nurse practitioner. Sage Vida grew from that decision—to focus on care that is personal, thoughtful, and centered on long-term health rather than volume or speed. It reflects both sides of my career: the rigor and systems thinking I gained in corporate environments, and the human connection that first called me into nursing. My goal is to offer care that is grounded, attentive, and genuinely focused on the person in front of me
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It hasn’t been a smooth road, and I don’t think most meaningful careers are. I’ve faced moments where systems, culture, or priorities didn’t align with my values, and there were points where I had to make difficult decisions about whether to stay comfortable or stay true to the kind of work I wanted to do. .
Those challenges ultimately clarified what matters to me: integrity, steadiness, and care that doesn’t lose sight of the person behind the problem. Each pivot, whether in clinical roles or leadership, taught me how important it is to listen, advocate more clearly, and stay grounded under pressure.
Sage Vida reflects those lessons. It exists because I wanted to practice in a way that is thoughtful, respectful, and genuinely focused on long-term wellbeing, for patients and for myself.
