ask yourself this!
Have you ever felt…
Like you…
Have a hunch that something just isn’t “quite” right with your health?
Like you…
Have seen a lot of practitioners to no avail and you just felt like they don’t quite know how to help you?
Like you…
Are tired of throwing stones against the wall to see what sticks and playing a lot of guesswork into figuring out how to heal yourself and you just want someone who has the answers who can put the puzzle pieces together?
If you find yourself saying yes, I’m here to help!
I often work with women who other practitioners were not able to help. I commonly work with burned out mothers who experience a variety of hormone/thyroid, chronic fatigue/low energy, gut issues, autoimmunity, and more. I also help women (& their spouses) on their path to motherhood with pre-conception and post-natal health.

Dr. Mara’s Methodology
This is not a basic approach to healing.
Root cause healing has no quick-fixes and no band-aid solutions. It’s critical thinking combined with a deep sense of root causes.
Dr. Mara experienced and healed herself from a slew of medical issues, including adrenal issues, chronic fatigue, POTS, anemia, hypothyroid, allergies, and gut imbalances, using her own whole body, root cause approach without pharmaceuticals.
After initially practicing under the “functional medicine” or “holistic nutrition” umbrella, Dr. Mara saw many gaps in the way these methodologies were implemented — namely, green allopathy methods and one-size-fits-all protocols that left a lot of people stuck and unable to heal.
Dr. Mara’s favorite question is “why?” and her favorite answer is “it depends.” She continues to ask WHY until she arrives at the root cause. She utilizes critical thinking combined with a deep sense of root causes and isn’t interested in basic, surface level approaches to healing.
Dr. Mara utilizes functional blood work, functional labs and a comprehensive intake as detective tools to very specifically investigate your root causes. It is pretty standard for Dr. Mara to spend hours combing through every detail of your labs as your private investigator, making connections and drawing conclusions. She works with mostly women and their children — most of the women she works with just don’t feel great, they struggle with feelings of burnout, anxiety/depression, low energy, and symptoms of digestive and hormone imbalances.
Most clients of Dr. Mara’s have worked with many practitioners in search of healing, and Dr. Mara’s goal is to be the last stop on your healing journey.
one step at a time
How I’ll support you
Our goal is to have you understand the underlying causes to your symptoms and health ailments and to deeply understand the results of your functional labs so that you can make informed decisions on your health and overall wellbeing.
Initial Deep Dive Consult
Your program includes an initial 75-90 minute video consultation to discuss your 3 day diet diary, complete a deep symptomology analysis to roadmap your symptoms, review of prior labs analysis and needed functional labs to help us uncover root causes, look for patterns and make connections, and to define your bio-individual path to healing.
Laboratory review/protocol delivery, check-in,
and unlimited support
Your program includes a 1 hour 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). One month later we will meet for a check in. You’ll also have unlimited support via messaging so we can chat anytime between sessions. My clients make quicker progress due to the unlimited support.
Customized action plan
You’ll receive a comprehensive and bio-individualized written action plan that will address healing at all angles. This may include diet changes, lifestyle tools, nervous system regulation, professional grade supplement recommendations, and various other healing modalities to guide you forward on your path. No bandaid treatments, just truly addressing the root.

Frequently Asked Questions
You’ll find the most common questions regarding the Investigating The Root program below. If you have any more questions, please get in touch.
-
This is a whole body healing program, so nearly all areas of health will be explored! I work with kids (age 18 months+) and adults with all different types of health issues. I do not work with those with cancer.
-
After you join the program you will be sent digital paperwork to complete and you will then be able to schedule your initial deep dive consult. During the initial consultation I will give you instructions on completing the labs and all labs will be ordered.
-
At the moment, this program is run virtually.
-
If you are looking to achieve optimal health in the way of preconception prep in order to increase your likelihood of getting pregnant with ease, reduce the likelihood of prenatal and postpartum complications and to ensure the best possible outcomes for your future baby, then yes!
And yes I would love to work with you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. I am skilled in knowing what is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding and so much healing can happen while pregnant and while BF’ing.
-
I do! Fun fact: I almost always work with more than one family member in a household. I LOVE healing whole families! We can chat about family discounts during your free coffee chat but on average families save $500-$700 per person when signing 2 or more individuals up for healing!
-
I would budget $100-$200 per month for individualized healing tools - supplements, lifestyle tools, etc. I find that by truly addressing root causes, the amount of supplements my clients have to take is significantly less than many other practitioners. You do not have to worry about being on 15 different supplements in this program.
-
Functional labs are an additional cost and are not included in the package because everyone is so bio-individual that each person will require different functional labs to help uncover root causes. This can be anything from functional bloodwork, bioresonance, HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis), genetic testing, stool testing, DUTCH hormone testing, OAT (Organic Acids Test), and a variety of other possible functional labs. Will everyone require all of these functional labs? Absolutely not. I do believe there is far too much unnecessary testing in the functional medicine/root cause space.
-
Yes! Due to high regulation and restrictions in these states, if you live in New York, you will have to complete ALL functional labs and blood work outside of NY. If you live in NJ or RI, you can be mailed the functional labs, but you will need to complete blood work outside of NJ and RI.
-
Yes, but there is an extra charge (depending on what country you live in) to order blood work. All other functional labs have the same cost for my international clients. Please contact me for any questions.
-
As of yet, I haven’t worked with anyone that is consistent and diligently follows each protocol that hasn’t made some progress. Remember that healing is a journey and takes time, consistency, and commitment.
-
I do not offer refunds as individual results are dependent on the person, their adherence to protocols, etc.
-
Well I graduate many of my clients at that point (horray - that is the goal). However, the healing time frame is highly bioindividual. It takes time to heal and no one heals on the same time line. Some have more extensive healing and peeling back the layers to do. If you’ve completed your package, there’s no need to re-purchase a package. You can simply just pay per session ($397) for each consult thereafter.
