Hey there, I'm Mark
I help people of all faiths and backgrounds who are feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck to find balance without nonsense or empty promises.
Through a simple, cut-and-dry meditation practice (as expressed by a former Marine who hit rock bottom and found his way out), I show people how five minutes of focused silence can help them begin to find balance. When everything else feels like it's falling apart, there is a natural way.
Rooted in inclusion.
No exotic lingo.
No dogma.
No bullshit.
No woo.
PTSD and all associated diagnoses. Veterans' and general mental health issues. Zen meditation. Silent meditation. Practicing balance.
