Melissa Campos, M.A., PPS, RYT-200
Greetings MARtians!
I am a co-founder (& one of the "M's") at MARs, where I am an education consultant, sound bath practitioner, and a yoga teacher.
Growing up I endured many health problems that affected my mind, body, and spirit. There was a time with no diagnosis nor solutions for treatment from medical professionals. So, out of desperation, my mom took me to a holistic practitioner that would then begin to change my world. Since then, I began my whealthness journey through nutrition, movement, mindfulness, and other healing practices.
Professionally, I have worked in a diverse range of educational roles that expands from early childhood to higher education, supporting students, families, educators, and community partners. With experience as a program specialist and as an intervention counselor, my expertise is in SEL, PBIS, mindfulness and mental wellness.
At MARs, I hope to shine the light on as many MARtians as possible, just as others have done so for me. So, I am beyond grateful for taking this journey with three amazing partners and excited to continue raising the vibration with all of you! <3
Anikkah Walker, M.S., BCBA, RYT-200
My name is Anikkah and I represent the "A" in MARs. I am a yoga teacher, a behavioral therapist and a MARs Whealthness partner.
I began my exploration of mental, physical and spiritual growth when I stepped into my first yoga class at 19. I remember leaving class feeling light and calm, but yet strong and empowered. I wanted to share this incredible feeling, which is why I became a certified instructor. Over the past six years, I’ve taught yoga in many senior home facilities, organizations, and homes of individuals. I found my niche teaching to small groups and in a one-one setting. This style of teaching allowed me to build deep connections and close relationships with those that I worked with.
After graduating with my BA in business from CSUSB in 2019, I decided to deepen my studies and pursue my Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, with the intention of incorporating mindfulness or ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) into a therapeutic practice. This led me to working with the autism population (which now holds a very special place in my heart).
I find my work to be the most rewarding attribute to my life and enjoy being an endless student and teacher in this community.
Randi Kinkade, M.Ed
Hello MARtian Fam! I'm Randi Kinkade (the "R" in MARs)—educator, speaker, and co-owner of MARs Whealthness LLC.
My passion for health and well-being began long before I became a teacher. Through my own experiences, I discovered that caring for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being transforms not only how we feel, but also how we learn, lead, connect, and show up for others.
As a high school mathematics teacher, I quickly realized that learning isn't just about curriculum—it's about creating environments where people feel safe, connected, and ready to learn. Beginning my teaching career during the COVID-19 pandemic reinforced just how essential regulation, connection, and community are for both students and educators. This experience led me to pursue specialized training in mindfulness, trauma, dysregulation, and trauma-informed practices, ultimately earning a Master's degree in Trauma-Informed Education.
Through both research and classroom experience, I've witnessed how intentionally embedding mindfulness and social-emotional learning strengthens engagement, collaboration, emotional well-being, and a sense of belonging. Today, I bring that same passion beyond the classroom through MARs Whealthness LLC, where we partner with schools, organizations, and communities to provide professional development, wellness experiences, and consulting. My goal is to equip people with practical, accessible strategies they can confidently integrate into their classrooms, workplaces, and everyday lives.
One of my core beliefs is that we cannot expect others to regulate if we have not first learned to regulate ourselves. The adults in every environment help shape the emotional climate, and when we show up with intention, we create the conditions for connection, collaboration, and growth.
I'm grateful you landed here and look forward to learning and growing alongside you!
My Bui-Lewis, M.S.,OTR/L, RYT-200
My name is My, pronounced /mē/, but most of you know me as Bui. I’m the other M in MARs, hence the ‘s’.
I was born in Vietnam and immigrated to America at the age of 4. My first language is Vietnamese and I’m still learning English- why is this language so hard?!
I grew up in a household that values education so instinctually, I have become a lover of learning. I have a BS in Kinesiology, MS in Occupational Therapy, Assistive Technology Certification, and Registered Yoga Teacher.
I currently specialize in mindfulness and movement, incorporating these two components in my educational consulting and occupational therapy practice. I have a profound love and passion for mindfulness and movement as it has transformed my personal and professional practice, and that’s what led me to start my own OT/educational consulting company called mindfulness in mOTion, INC. I wanted to take this concept beyond the OT profession in hopes of making a bigger impact, so that’s why MARs Whealthness, LLC exists- with the goal of promoting holistic health to heal the whole self.
I am truly grateful to be on this enlightening journey of growth and healing with the best human beings and I’m excited for what the future holds. Thank you all for being a part of it!
Congrats! You’ve made it to the end!
We look forward to learning and growing with you all!
Love you all to MARs & back✨
