Meet Mara Lidacis, MPH, CYT-200

Mara has always had a passion for personal development and self-discovery. She could spend all day in the “personal development” aisle at the bookstore.

Her passion for a holistic approach to health and well-being was first ignited through yoga and yoga philosophy, and continued to expand through out her professional career in the fitness apparel industry and then later in the public health field.

Mara received her Master of Public Health degree from DePaul University and worked for several years in community health education and chronic disease prevention. It was here she saw the need for a more mind-body approach to wellness, and knew this was a next step in her professional journey. She went on to receive her 200-hour yoga teacher certification and began studying holistic wellness coaching, later working as a full-time health coach. She is also certified as a Holy Fire III Reiki Master.

In recent years she has experienced profound self-discovery and healing through therapy, but also in working with amazing coaches, healers, teachers and mentors. In her spare time when she is not running around with her 7-year-old triplets, she enjoys reading, studying and taking courses to further her knowledge in the holistic well-being field, collecting crystals & Oracle decks, getting into a good TV series (especially in the spy genre), and following Formula 1 racing with her husband.
