Mark William Cochran is a doctor who has walked the healing path himself. His visionary philosophy and passion for life have grown from his experiences as a healing facilitator and lightworker, and from his own serious health challenges. Mark’s walk on the healing path has not only been physical, but also a journey of the soul. As a student, Mark had a beautiful revelation while on a chiropractic mission trip in India. On one especially long day in a remote farming community, unable to communicate verbally with the people he was serving, he found himself mentally conveying a simple message to each of them:
“You are a being of beauty and perfection!”
“Since that incredible moment in India, that has become my most important message to every person I serve. It is the starting point from which we work together to reveal the light and life that glows within everybody as their deepest, truest essence. This simple and empowering truth changes lives!”
Of his many years in pain he remembers, “I tried everything! And I’ve learned that what serves us best is very simple. Spirit has already given us the most important and powerful gift—life! Growing, healing and thriving are simply a matter of reconnecting with our core essence and expressing the vitality that is within each of us.”
Mark’s unique and gentle approach to healing blends ancient spiritual concepts with cutting edge science to help bring forth each person’s own natural potential for vibrant health.
He is a living testimonial to the power of his own healing approach. For many years the pain of inflammatory arthritis made it a painful challenge for him to climb just one flight of stairs. Now, at age 50, Mark is an endurance athlete training to compete in his first Ironman Triathlon.
An award winning speaker, Mark’s thought provoking ideas resonate with audiences large and small. He writes and speaks from a refreshing perspective and delivers a powerful message in a lighthearted, entertaining context.
Mark graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa and has been inducted into the Pi Tau Delta International Chiropractic Honor Society. He also holds a B.S. degree in Psychology from the University of Idaho. Mark is a respected leader in Toastmasters International, having achieved the distinction of Distinguished Toastmaster, the highest award a toastmaster can receive.
A lover of Nature and the great outdoors, Mark feels blessed to live, love, work and play amid the towering pines, majestic mountains and sparkling lakes of the Idaho panhandle.
