Mental Health & Breathwork Practitioner & Clinical Operations Executive
Mark is a certified Mental Health and Breathwork Practitioner and Instructor who also serves as our Client Care and Clinical Operations Executive, supporting us in managing and streamlining clinical operations. A nursing graduate from Australia, he holds certifications in first aid response, crisis intervention support, mental health first aid, and trauma-informed care. Mark is also a professional member of the International Breathwork Foundation.
Mark brings a deep commitment to helping clients cultivate resilience, self-compassion, and hope. Drawing from his own journey with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and the suppression of emotions, Mark understands the profound impact these challenges can have on one’s sense of peace and purpose. This personal insight fuels his dedication to breathwork and mental health support, as he aims to offer guidance to others facing similar or greater struggles.
Currently trained as an instructor in trauma-informed pranayama breathwork, Mark recognizes that breathwork is only one piece of a larger puzzle. He is committed to expanding his knowledge and integrating a variety of therapeutic techniques, understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing and that each individual requires unique care. In Mark’s view, mental health is not limited to any single intervention but rather thrives through the integration of holistic and humanistic support. He believes that true healing comes from addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and blending a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs. By incorporating a wide spectrum of methods and insights, Mark creates a nurturing space where clients can explore healing from multiple perspectives, supporting their growth in a comprehensive and deeply personal way. Beyond techniques, he emphasizes foundational principles of wisdom, courage, compassion, temperance, discipline, and resilience—that clients can apply in all aspects of their lives.
Mark’s vision is for his clients to leave sessions not only with immediate relief but also with the tools and confidence to thrive through the ebb and flow of life independently. He encourages them to embrace both the easefulness and the challenges in life, cultivating an appreciation for the wonders and learning to grow from challenges. With a view of humanity as inherently cooperative and interdependent, Mark believes each person has a unique gift to offer the world. Through his work, he strives to empower clients to find their strength and hope, contributing to a better, safer world for everyone.
