Hi, I’m Mara!
As a postpartum doula, yoga teacher, infant care specialist, and mother, I feel deeply honored to support families through pregnancy, postpartum, and the early stages of parenthood.
Long before becoming a yoga teacher, I spent years working closely with infants and families. Today, I weave that experience together with specialized training in prenatal and postpartum yoga to offer compassionate, grounded support during one of life’s most transformative seasons.
At the heart of my work is the belief that no one should have to navigate pregnancy and postpartum alone.

The heartbehind the name
In yogic philosophy, the Anandamaya Kosha, or "bliss body," represents the deepest layer of our being—the place of connection, wholeness, and belonging that exists beneath the many roles and experiences we move through.
Bliss Body Collective was born from the belief that no matter what season of life we find ourselves in, that wholeness remains within us.
Through movement, support, rest, and community, this space exists to help people reconnect with themselves and remember that they were never meant to do it all alone.
Client Testimonials
“Mara was my prenatal yoga teacher before baby came and my postpartum doula after he arrived. She was truly a lifesaver in so many ways, I’m so grateful to have worked with her.”
Stephanie W. “Working with Mara took my yoga practice to the next level! She has a knack for seeing what your body is capable of and somehow getting you there. I never thought that I would feel this strong and capable on my mat.”
Kyle P.“She is a godsend. Mara saved our sanity in the first few months postpartum. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
