Mara is a Holistic Mental Health Practitioner, Clinical Herbal Therapist, Integrative Adult Sleep Coach, Clinical Aromatherapist and owner of Urban Earth Teas and Wellness.
I am passionate about working with those experiencing challenges with sleep, stress, and fatigue, as well as those who struggle to balance self-care with the other demands of life. I love to help people create positive and lasting changes in their lives using plant medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications.
While I have been interested in herbal medicine since my early teens, I did not consider it as a career until I began pursuing my degree in Plant Science at the University of Northern British Columbia. I became fascinated by the interconnectedness between humans and plants, both culturally and medicinally. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Plant Science in 2001, I decided to pursue a three-year clinical program in herbal medicine at Dominion Herbal College. In 2008, I added certification as a Clinical Aromatherapist and in 2018 I completed training as an Integrative Adult Sleep Coach. Most recently (2024) I earned my Master of Science in Herbal Medicine.
I have been practicing in the qathet Regional District since 2006 (with a short break while my daughter was young). In addition to my private practice, I own and operate Urban Earth Teas and Wellness.
I am thrilled to be a part of the VK Wellness team and look forward to supporting you in your wellness journey.
