I’m Mara Kaela (she/her), the founder and visionary guide behind Align Vegan. My path here has been one of deep exploration, driven by a lifelong sensitivity, a love for creative expression, and an unwavering belief in the potential for positive change – within ourselves and in the world around us.

From early on, I felt a powerful current pulling me towards using my voice and creativity for impact. Yet, alongside this passion, I also witnessed how easily vibrant potential could be dimmed – observing how struggles with well-being could hinder even the brightest sparks. This ignited a deep commitment within me to understand and champion holistic health not just as self-care, but as the essential foundation upon which we build fulfilling, impactful lives.

My own journey towards greater wellness led me to embrace veganism, which unexpectedly became a profound catalyst – a doorway opening into deeper self-knowledge and a surprising surge in vitality. It sparked a passionate dive into understanding the intricate connections between how we nourish our bodies, how we honor our unique energy, and how we show up in the world. This exploration guided me through the wisdom of various plant-based nutrition approaches (including learning firsthand the importance of informed, sustainable transitions!), the illuminating insights of Astrology and Human Design, the grounding energy of Reiki and Qi Gong, and the clarity found in mindfulness practices like Zen Buddhism.

Navigating the world as a vegan, trans, BIPOC individual who identifies as neurodivergent (ADHD/Autistic) and gifted, while managing anxiety and the heightened sensitivities of a deeply feeling soul, has been an integral part of my path. These lived experiences haven't been mere challenges; they have been profound teachers, deepening my understanding of resilience, the crucial need for personalized approaches to well-being, and the power of finding true alignment amidst complexity. They fuel my capacity for empathy and my commitment to creating truly inclusive, understanding spaces for transformation.

Through dedicated learning and practice, I discovered how to consciously align my choices with my unique energetic blueprint, amplifying my well-being and allowing me to express my purpose with greater clarity and impact. I learned that true alignment isn't about conforming, but about discovering and honoring the wisdom within.

Align Vegan was born from the culmination of this journey. It emerged from a heartfelt desire to share the transformative insights, practical wisdom, and supportive tools I gathered along the way. My mission is to guide individuals like you in discovering your own unique path to vibrant health, conscious abundance, and blissful alignment through a thoughtfully integrated plant-based lifestyle.

Here, we weave together practical guidance for sustainable vegan living with powerful tools for self-discovery and mindset shifts. We explore how nourishing your body with high-vibration foods can unlock newfound energy and clarity, how understanding your unique design can illuminate your path, and how aligning your daily choices with your deepest values creates a life filled with purpose, joy, and profound well-being.

My vision is for a world where choosing health, compassion, and sustainability is the natural expression of a thriving existence for all beings. I believe that personal alignment inevitably ripples outward, contributing to a more just, harmonious, and abundant world where exploitation ceases and all life flourishes.

Whether you are just beginning your plant-based journey or seeking to deepen your existing practice, Align Vegan offers guidance, community, and transformative tools to support you. It’s an invitation to step into your radiant potential and consciously create a life that nourishes you on every level.

Thank you for being here. I'm so blissed to connect and potentially guide you on your path.

With light and alignment,
