Mara

My name is Mara Lamanna. I am a nationally board certified Health Counselor and Educator, passionate about helping my clients to access their optimal health and wellness, and experience meaningful breakthroughs in their lives on all levels. I provide support to individuals and groups nation-wide, as well as in the corporate setting.

I am profoundly honored to be a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC, which is affiliated with Columbia University, and accredited by the AADP, American Association of Drugless Practitioners. I work closely with each client’s individual needs, in support of their total wellness. The Institute for Integrative Nutrition is the only holistic nutrition school in the world integrating all different dietary theories, from the ancient traditions of Ayurveda, Macrobiotics and Chinese medicine to the most current concepts like raw foods, Atkins diet, blood type diets, the Zone and the USDA Healthy Eating Pyramid. My education exposed me to direct training and education with renowned speakers, book authors, physicians, professionals and educators such as Dr. Andrew Weill, Dr, Deepak Chopra, Sally Fallon, Paul Pitchford, Dr. Christiane Northrop, Dr. Barry Sears, and many more.

My passion lies in helping my clients embrace their individual processes; assisting them in determining their possibilities in the areas of health and vitality, and in coaching them through the process of creating their optimal expression of wellness.

As a Health and Nutrition Counselor working from a holistic perspective, I offer assistance in creating profound nourishment and wellbeing in each area of a person’s life including nutrition, exercise, relationships, career, home-life, and in deepening his/her spiritual connections. These life areas, when nurtured and strengthened, enrich a person’s life with meaningful senses of integrity, balance and nourishment. While certain foods and eating practices can be used as “tools” in the process of accessing optimal health, vitality and balance, true nourishment is available on much deeper levels, ultimately assisting in the shaping of one’s food choices. My constant aim is to engage my clients in an empowering conversation about food, the planet, and their lives. I encourage each person to take a deeper look and inquire into how they, as natural beings can attain balance on all levels and, while embracing the rhythms of nature through food and lifestyle choices, can thus align with the earth’s natural rhythms, thereby enhancing their health and vitality, and ultimately their living experiences as a whole.

Working from a non-restrictive standpoint, I assist my clients in deconstructing their food and lifestyle cravings, while providing them with a sense of empowerment, without deprivation. Gentle food and lifestyle recommendations can easily be incorporated into a person’s daily lifestyle, thus allowing unhealthy cravings to naturally disappear, without the experience of deprivation or guilt. I feel it is imperative to assist each person in the shaping of positive, reinforcing thoughts through their process.

Each person is an individual. Each person has individual food needs, which will change with the seasons as well as with their life processes. Every person can develop a long-term sustainable way of healthy eating, one which can truly provide the experience of “living" in a whole new way.
