Mara began her career in Natural Medicine while studying Plant Science and Physical Anthropology at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC).  She became fascinated by the complex inter-relationship between plant, humans and their environments.  After graduating from UNBC with her Bachelor of Science, she decided to continue her studies at Dominion Herbal College, where is enrolled in an intensive three year in-class course in Clinical Herbal Therapy.

After earning her diploma as a Clinical Herbal Therapist (CHT), Mara opened her practice in New Westminster, B.C. where she practiced until moving to Powell River, B.C. in July 2006.  During this time she gained certification as an Aromatherapist at the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy.

While becoming established in Powell River, Mara completed further training, at the Alternative Medicine College of Canada (AMCC), to quality as a Doctor of Natural Medicine (DNM).  This is awarded by the Board of Natural Medicine Doctors and Practitioners of North America.
