children + Teens wellness program
Investigating the Root
Designed to uncover the best version of your child, this program will address the root causes of their symptoms, and restore balance and ensure lifelong health, happiness and vitality.
an in-depth and tailored approach
Healing is possible.
Kids have big stuff going on under the surface too - and most of the time, nobody's connecting the dots. Investigating the Root for Kids is how we change that. This isn't a one-size-fits-all protocol or a band-aid solution. It's a tailored deep dive into your child's unique physiology so we can figure out what their body actually needs to thrive.
The ITR Kids program is for babies to the teenage years

Like you…
Have worked with several other practitioners and no one has been able to connect the dots, establish your child’s underlying conditions and put a solid plan together and you’ve just tired of wasting time and money?
If you find yourself saying yes, I’m here to help!
My goal is to optimize the health of the children and teens I work with so their symptoms do not develop into more serious conditions in early adulthood. I help children and their parents solve complex cases of constipation and other GI issues, neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism and ADHD, eczema & other skin conditions, mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression and addiction, stealth infections such as mold toxicity, heavy metal toxicity, and lyme disease, and a variety of other health conditions.

Mara’s Methodology
This is not a basic approach to healing.
After initially practicing under the “functional medicine” or “holistic nutrition” umbrella, I saw many gaps in the way these methodologies were implemented — namely, managing symptoms with a long list of supplements, running thousands of dollars of unnecessary labs, and one-size-fits-all protocols that left a lot of people stuck. The problem isn't functional medicine, it's how most people practice it.
What makes my approach differ from other providers is it’s an in depth, nuanced approach. I have deep knowledge of physiology, and am able to identify hidden patterns and connect dots that other providers miss. You receive a coherent plan that is actually addressing the true underlying drivers, versus just managing your symptoms with supplements.
I work with women/moms who have already tried the practitioners, the protocols, and the DIY - and still don't have answers.
My favorite question is “why?” and my favorite answer is “it depends.” I continues to ask WHY until I arrive at the root cause. I utilize critical thinking combined with a deep sense of root causes and am not interested in basic, surface level approaches to healing.
I utilize functional blood work, functional labs , BioEnergetics, and a comprehensive intake as detective tools to very specifically investigate your root causes. It is pretty standard for me to spend hours combing through every detail of your labs as your private investigator, making connections and drawing conclusions. I work with mostly women and their children (and dad when he is willing) — most of the women I work with struggle with burnout, chronic fatigue, hormone and thyroid imbalances, gut issues, and autoimmunity. I also work with children and their parents to solve complex cases of constipation and other GI issues, neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism and ADHD, eczema and other skin conditions, and a variety of other health conditions.
Most of my clients have worked with many practitioners in search of healing, and my goal is to be the last stop on your healing journey.
one step at a time
How I’ll support your child
Our goal is to uncover the underlying causes of your child’s symptoms and health ailments, and to deeply understand the results of their functional labs so that you can make informed decisions on your child’s health and overall wellbeing.
Initial Deep Dive Consult
Your program includes an Initial Deep Dive consultation to discuss your child’s 3 day diet diary, complete a deep symptomology analysis, look for patterns and make connections, review prior labs and needed functional labs to help us uncover root causes, and to define your child’s bioindividual path to healing.
Laboratory review & first protocol delivery + Monthly check-in and unlimited support
Your program includes an extensive laboratory review (clients tell me the laboratory review is mind blowing and they have never had a practitioner go so deep and make so many connections to figure out their complex health puzzle pieces) and your thorough protocol delivery (our plan of action to address your root causes). 3 weeks later we will meet for a check in. You’ll also have unlimited support via messaging system on Practice Better platform during the program so we can chat anytime between sessions.
Customized action plan
Enjoy a comprehensive and bio-individualized written action plan for your child that addresses your WHOLE child. We will not only be focused on one healing modality, such as restrictive diets or taking a slew of never-ending supplements. You will receive a bio-individual protocol that addresses all angles that will bring healing and balance to your child.
see the difference
Lifelong health, happiness and vitality are possible for every child!
