To describe who I am is a bit difficult, I am not one to talk about myself. I am an awesome wife and an amazing mom of 4 amazing kids, well I like to think so. We have 3 rescue dogs, and help out a local dog rescue.
I have a beautiful little granddaughter. I am a hockey fan. I love people. I love to laugh. I believe in having fun! I am happy by nature and make a choice everyday to be happy and grateful. I wake up every morning wondering what amazing things are going to happen to me and my family today. I feel like the Universe is rigged in my favor. I am a dreamer. I am a creator. I am a spiritual being having a physical experience. I am passionate about having a healthy mind, body and soul.
I believe that our only limits are our minds. I went to Marquette University, graduated with a B.S. and Dental Hygiene degree. I am a Certified Life Coach. I am a Certified Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner. In 2005, I became Certified as Level 2 Reconnective Healing Practitioner. I am a Certified Law Of Attraction Practitioner. I am certified in EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, (tapping technique).
I am also certified in Identifying and Conquering Gluten Sensitivity. I need to eat gluten free. I have attended numerous health and nutrition seminars and webinars over the last 25 years. I believe in home cooking from scratch. I know that what we feed our minds, bodies and spirit matters. I believe that if we dream it and believe it, we can attain it. I believe that having fun and laughing is vital to a good life. I think that we should make today so awesome that yesterday gets jealous. I believe miracles happen everyday. I want to inspire you to dream and help you to realize that you are amazing. I am here to coach and encourage you, you have to do the work.
ABOUT MARC
Experienced. Certified. Awesome.
I am a husband , a father of 4 children, a doctor, an athlete, a coach, and "Pops" to a beautiful granddaughter. I have always been interested in health and nutrition since I was was 13 years old and no longer wanted to be "the fat kid." I played elite ice hockey for 11 years, won a Junior Hockey National Championship. At 18 years old I had a career ending injury at the Junior Hockey National Championships. It was the injury that lead me to switch my career choice to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. Chiropractic worked when everything else had failed.
I then began bodybuilding, and at 19 become Mr. Teenage Chicagoland 6 months later in 1981. In 1984, I was the runner up for Mr. Junior Chicagoland. Health, fitness, athletics, and mindset have always been a part of my life. In 1993 I went back to my first love hockey. I went on to coach, teach and instruct in hockey for 17 more years, coaching at every level including college and elite hockey.
I continue my search for what was the best for myself, family and patients as a Chiropractic Physician using Acupuncture and Functional Medicine. I believe the mind and your perception of reality, play a key role in health, healing, mental toughness and performance.
