About Marc
I have a degree in Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management , along with many years of experience working in food service and retail. A few years ago I left my corporate position and opened a Premium Loose Leaf Tea Shop In Florida. Owning and operating the Tea shop my desire for healthy alternatives to traditional medicine was peaked and i began to study and use a variety of organic teas, herbs and spices to stay healthy and to improve the life of my family, friends and customers. With this passion and success I decided to become certified as a Health Coach and enrolled in coursework to accomplish this goal in order to share my experience and passion with others. Now that I have moved back to Canada, I am bringing my passion and love of Tea to Muskoka.
I received my Health Coaching training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition*, where I studied a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods. This training combined with my With my knowledge, we co-create completely personalized actions based on your goals to move you toward your ideal vision of health within your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and resources.

Working together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
I work with my clients to get in touch with their body’s needs because I understand that life happens and your needs will change. I want to equip you with the self-awareness to make the best decisions for yourself in any given circumstance. I believe each person is fully capable of making well-informed decisions as their own expert, not the latest magazine article or fad diet book.
Let’s define what you value most from your well-being. We’ll use these visions to motivate specific goals that bring you closer to where you want to be. As your coach, I will not dictate a diet for you, but together we will explore why some foods make you feel better than others and how to strategically use that feedback. Together we’ll co-create your health goals within reasonable time frames and actionable objectives so you know exactly what you’re working toward.
