Reviews & Testimonials

Read what Mark’s clients have to say about his coaching and

the True Self Mind Mastery Program.

James, Financial Advisor

“Before meeting Mark I’d tried several different coaching programs. I was totally ‘burnt out.’ I knew the data in the spreadsheets weren’t the problem, and that finding more work-life balance would not fix things. I was struggling with unresolved issues that were affecting my mind. My previous coaches and therapists didn’t understand the nature of the challenges I faced at work, and their traditional approaches couldn’t get me past the inner emotional blocks.
Mark coached me through experiences that I hadn’t processed, many of which I was completely unconscious of at the outset. I was drawn to the structured and clearly defined engagement that Mark provided. It was real work but it led to real results. My wife and my teammates have commended the changes they now see in me. For the first time in my career, I have the tools I need to execute my game plan and enjoy the experience of my life.”

Peter, Financial Advisor

“Mark made my life so much better. He revealed my blind spots and the underlying reasons I felt stuck. Most importantly, he helped me find the right tools, build ‘mental muscle,’ and reframe beliefs that were holding me back. I was surprised to realize how much my parents, especially my father, still impacted my life. The issue I wanted to resolve was persistent conflict with my spouse. I wanted to learn how to communicate better so that we both felt heard. I’d never heard of saboteurs before and thought my brain was working just fine and that my wife simply misunderstood me.

Mark’s coaching gave me invaluable insight into how I interact with others and how my energy affects the people around me. I’m also more sensitive to the feelings and thoughts of others and more aware of my own behavior. The underlying issues have been resolved, but there is lingering trauma and hurt caused by my behavior. I’ve learned the importance of being patient and gentle with myself as healing takes time. I felt safe and seen working with Mark and I highly recommend his coaching program.”

Dima S., Author and Life Coach, Switzerland

“I highly recommend Mark. He’s calm, attentive, and takes his time.  He has an extensive knowledge base and uses it to your advantage. I decided to work with a coach because I felt ‘stuck’ after losing my father. Working with Mark to improve the quality of my core beliefs and the relationship I have with my inner child has been really important to me.”

B.K., Senior Executive, Automotive Industry, UK

“Mark asks questions I have never thought of or considered before. Working with him has been a wonderful and knowledgeable experience. The sessions have made me rethink how I view myself, and the impact I may be having on my children. My family has also noticed positive changes. I’m grateful for the guidance, courage, and wisdom I’ve taken away from our sessions.”

P. H., Author and Financial Consultant, United States

“Mark is an excellent coach with an extensive background in personal development. He’s approachable, easy to work with, and gently pushes you when he knows you need it. He’s also very transparent about his own journey, which allowed me to open up and uncover behaviors that have served me well up to this point in my life but needed to be identified and released.”

“My sessions with Mark have been life-changing. Not only do I feel amazing, but I also realize that this is the emotional work I’ve been in dire need of my entire life. Mark has helped me recognize my patterns and how these patterns have played out in my life. I left his program feeling stronger, more empowered, better connected, and more focused. Mark facilitated these breakthroughs professionally and without judgment. Not once did I feel like I needed to doctor things up. I felt safe in his presence and able to be my authentic self.”
