Lucy Mara Coaching
Helping you break personal patterns and achieve your goals through better self-understanding.
“Lucy has a deep knowledge of human behavior. She is extremely astute in reading people and situations and seeing the unique qualities that I bring to the table. She helps me see how those qualities relate to others and the environment I am in. She is always the first person that I come to for advice or for perspective to help me better understand myself and others. She helps me figure out how to get to where I need to be going. She is a great listener and has helped me improve my life in so many ways. Apart from that she is also just an interesting and fun person to be around! There's no one better!”

About Coaching
Personalized Life Coaching
I strive to create an environment where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes at their own pace. My approach is highly personalized, thoughtful, and collaborative; I tailor my work to each client’s unique experiences, goals, and relationships.
What does this look like in practice? First, we'll identify your goals. I work with a wide-range of clients whose goals may be related to:
Life decisions:
Career changes
Going back to school
Moving to a new city or country
Changing old patterns in:
Romantic relationships
Friendships
Relationship to family
Professional settings
Adjusting to:
New cultures
New roles in life (caretaker, divorcee, empty-nester, etc.)
New life stages:
Pre- or post-college life
Parenthood
Retirement
Dating or new relationships
The next step is where the power of coaching comes in—I help you gain awareness about your old patterns and challenges and teach you the appropriate mechanisms to overcome them, thus reducing the barriers to meeting your goals. I’ll also help keep you accountable by reminding you of old patterns, promoting use of change-making skills, and tracking progress towards your goals.
After working with me, you’re also likely to experience one or many of the following: decreased overwhelm and worry, improved communication, strengthened boundaries, and a greater sense of peace, joy, and presence in everyday life.
Coaching in a snapshot:
Goal-setting
Accountability

Direct feedback & instruction
Science-Informed, Personally Centered
I hold two master’s degrees in the social sciences which means I take evidence-based practice seriously. If I move us in the direction of mindfulness or spirituality, it will always be backed by research. That said, I also have a deep respect for other people's personal and cultural beliefs, customs, traditions, and rituals. If you bring a practice to our work that helps you or is meaningful to you, I’ll affirm it and help you maximize its benefits.
Intercultural & Multicultural Coaching
I also specialize in supporting clients who are navigating life between cultures. This may include first-generation Americans balancing social and familial expectations, people in multicultural relationships, “third culture kids,” or those adjusting to life in the United States. My coaching will help you feel welcomed while also helping you build clarity, understanding, and a stronger sense of belonging.
Growth with Warmth & Humor
Personal growth does not have to feel heavy all the time. In addition to coaching, I perform improv comedy, and humor naturally finds its way into my sessions. I believe laughter, warmth, and authentic human connection can make difficult conversations feel more approachable and meaningful. You’re likely to have fun in our sessions!

Hello!
About Me
Throughout my life, I’ve had a natural ability to help people develop greater self-awareness through compassionate listening and thoughtful questioning. I’m known for my warm, curious, and enthusiastic personality, which helps others see themselves in a more positive light. I also bring a sense of humor to coaching—don’t be surprised if we laugh during our sessions.
I’m a lifelong learner with two master’s degrees in the social sciences and a bachelor’s degree in art history. I enjoy reading nonfiction, listening to podcasts, visiting museums, attending lectures, taking art and professional development classes, watching documentaries, and spending time with people who inspire me to keep learning and growing. At the same time, I don’t take life too seriously. I love “trashy” TV shows, and I love watching and performing comedy. I find that I move through the world with humor, curiosity, and lightheartedness.
Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, I left for the East Coast at 18 and have since lived on both coasts and abroad. I eventually returned to St. Louis to reconnect with the strong sense of community I have here and to be closer to my aging parents, nieces, and lifelong friends.
Travel remains one of my greatest passions. Being near water brings me a sense of both peace and excitement. I also love exploring new cities, urban parks, vibrant neighborhoods, and unique museums. Through travel and living abroad, I’ve connected with people and perspectives from around the world, and I still consider many of those I’ve met along the way close friends. Overall, my life experiences and education have deepened my understanding of human nature, culture, and connection.

“Lucy has helped me work through numerous life changes and periods of self doubt. She has always been a present ear to listen and provide a nonjudgmental empathetic perspective. For example, Lucy helped me navigate through our daughter’s big feelings and helped me find resources and appropriate approaches to address what I felt like was an incredibly overwhelming situation. Lucy helped regulate my feelings and validating that what I felt was real and helped me take control. Lucy has also helped me find my confidence in many situations. She has been a cheerleader and an advocate — a believer in me when I’ve needed it most. Her presence, insight and nonjudgmental empathy make her an incredible human.”
"After working with another coach, I realized how talented Lucy is and how lucky I was to work with her."
“Lucy listened so patiently and without judgment, which made it so much easier to open up about the more complicated parts of my life. She helped me sort through everything in a way that actually made sense, and I’ve come away feeling more confident and grounded than I have in a long time. I’m really grateful for her support and guidance.”
"You are like a person without borders. It doesn't feel like you come from one culture. I feel like I'm speaking in my first language because it is so easy to talk to you."
“Working with Lucy has been a true blessing. Lucy has an amazing ability to make you feel comfortable talking about personal matters and, more importantly, listen without judgement. Her advice is always sound and grounded in reality. Her empathetic qualities allow you to truly feel seen and heard.”
