With 15+ years' experience in helping professions, Markus has devoted his efforts to finding the best methods to help his clients become mentally well and stress-hardy.

Markus has spent extensive time in 21 countries on the quest for collective human traits and certain attitudes which fuel personal acceptance and growth. He has entered the towering cathedrals in Europe, practiced samurai swordsmanship with locals on Mt. Fuji, experienced the ancient monuments and staggering artistry of Rome and Florence, chanted in orange-robes with Buddhist monks in the foothills of Yunnan, China, and been invited to sit with small island Hindu villagers for some of their private family ceremonies.

In the Mental Health community, Markus has spoken on a number of topics related to including mental fitness and emotional exploration, acceptance and finding personal purpose, the physiological benefits of meditation, multicultural expectations in psychotherapy, the recovery patterns of addiction, assertiveness versus the aggressions of passivity, guided meditation, depression and intrusive thoughts, the hierarchy of human needs revisited, among others.

He’s challenging me when its most needed. I tend to over-analyze certain aspects of my life, and whenever I talk to Markus, he will have me question those thoughts and to see things in perspective. Thank you Markus!
