Mark’s journey in the health and wellness space started in 2017 while training to run the NYC Marathon. Previously, Mark had been in the business management space and found typical diets and workout programs to be missing important components for overall wellness and sustainability. During his training for the marathon, Mark fell in love with yoga and explored how to get the most out of his runs and workouts with a diet plan specifically crafted for his needs. After completing the marathon in November of 2018, and the 12 months of PT for knee and back issues, Mark decided that he wanted to go deeper into his yoga practice, as well as learn as much as possible about the anatomy and physiology of the human body. In September of 2019 Mark decided to leave the business world and set off on a solo backpacking journey around the world to dive deeper into health and wellness. Mark completed his 200 hour Yoga teacher training in Goa, India, his 100 hr Thai massage course in Chiang Rai, Thailand, as well as completing his Holistic Health Coaching course through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in NYC. Along with being a new Flexologist at StretchLab, Mark also runs his own health coaching company called SimplyHolistic with one main goal; to empower and teach people how to take care of their health at a foundational level. Mark believes that everyone has the power and ability to be their own health coach. Mark is incredibly excited to be part of the team and hopes to see you at StretchLab Nanuet very soon!
