Mara's Background: From Tour Manager to Medicine

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/pranamaya

In this fascinating episode, I’m coming to you from the breathtaking shores of Belize, at a one-of-a-kind wellness resort called Prana Maya. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mara Kevan and Steve Hall, the passionate visionaries behind this toxin-free oasis, to share what makes this place and their approach to health so extraordinary.

From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the pristine environment, the focus on farm-to-table organic cuisine, and the way everything is designed to help you leave feeling better than when you arrived. We dig into everything—why food is truly medicine, how Mara combined her background as a rock-and-roll tour manager with years of medical and holistic wellness expertise, and how Steve’s entrepreneurial journey led him to build this literal paradise on the world's second-largest reef.

You'll also find details on our Boundless Couples Retreat, which Jessa and I are hosting at Prana Maya from November 10–14, 2026, where you'll have access to five days of daily workouts, relationship workshops, and luxury biohacking treatments inside a stunning oceanside setting. 

Steve Hall is a serial entrepreneur whose four-decade career spans construction, apartment communities, assisted living, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation, with Prana Maya representing the bold next chapter of that journey.

Dr. Mara Kevan is a licensed acupuncturist and functional medicine physician with over 20 years of clinical experience and an oncology specialty, who also spent years managing world tours for the Rolling Stones and luxury travel for some of the most discerning names in music, film, and politics before merging both worlds into the retreat experience she offers today.

If you’re curious about the magic that happens when holistic health, adventure, and total rejuvenation intersect in a stunning natural setting, this episode is a must-listen.
