“What can I say, except, Dr. Mara saved my life & I wish she was the first practitioner I found”

“What can I say, except, Dr. Mara saved my life & I wish she was the first practitioner I found. I was a burned out mother and had a laundry list of symptoms ranging from chronic fatigue, insomnia, irregular periods, hashimoto’s to debilitating anxiety. I tried the usual local functional medicine doctor route and then a few other practitioners I found on instagram and found i’d feel better as long as I was on numerous supplements. If I stopped taking any of the supplements they gave me the symptoms resurfaced. It wasn’t until working with Dr. Mara that I realized most practitioners practice “green pharmacy” and not root cause. Dr. Mara used so many different modalities to help me and I don’t know how to explain it - it was just DEEP. I call her inspector gadget :) She went really deep to figure out what was causing all of my symptoms instead of just giving me 15 supplements to take that weren’t actually addressing the problem. I now feel so regulated, am not dependent on any supplements, have so much energy, no longer take thyroid meds, and I just have this vitality that I haven’t had since before motherhood and i’m a better mother because I feel like a happy, energized person.”

“My daughter had severe eczema since 6 months old. We spent thousands working with a local naturopath and after that did not work, an eczema group program we discovered on IG… and only made very slight progress, which was extremely upsetting. Dr. Mara was highly recommended in a New Jersey crunchy mom’s facebook group so I told my husband I had to try just one more time. Right away I knew things were going to be different this time because the initial intake was so thorough - she asked so many questions and interpreted previous labs SO thoroughly I was stunned (the doctors who ran my daughter’s labs spent 5 minutes reviewing her labs with me). My daughter’s eczema completely went away after 3 months and as i’m writing this it’s been 9 months and zero flares. I truly can’t thank Dr. Mara enough and I highly recommend her to everyone I know. Working with someone who you can FEEL who cares and will actually spend the time to help your child is so hard to find.

My client below went to other functional medicine and naturopathic providers who only gave her surface level “immune boosters” for her son like vitamin D, zinc, probiotics, etc. I dug deep and figured out why his immune system was functioning so poorly instead of relying on supplements to bandaid symptoms.

Now he is thriving and rarely gets sick.

My client below went from chronic constipation, severe anxiety, low thyroid hormone and very low energy postpartum to daily bristol 4 bowel movements, feeling regulated without anxiety, optimal thyroid function and feeling energized throughout the day.

My client below went from having very symptomatic pregnancies with complications, to an easy pregnancy with no complications. After working with her 4 older children, her 5th child (the pregnancy where we focused on preconception prep before conception) is the healthiest of all of her children.

I have many other testimonials I occasionally share on instagram if you look through my “results” highlights. I often get asked “what makes me different” since I have worked with many clients who have spent thousands working with other practitioners (and little to no progress was made) - my best response to that question is answered in this post regarding my ability to dig a lot deeper and connect dots on a deeper level: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNrWNCe0uLL/?igsh=emphNTY2d2xqdzhy
