about dr mark

Native Long Islander Dr. Mark Arcuri continues to keep his feet on the ground although his work is much celebrated.

A sought-after Guide, Mark now calls Santa Fe home--mostly! He is acclaimed for intuitive guidance that leads his clients through life's most challenging transitions to a place of transformation. His distinctive style reflects his belief that everyone has the ability--indeed, the responsibility--to allow the magic of fulfillment into their life. He works with individuals in a variety of life situations, whether imposed upon them by external happenings or chosen as they explore options on their life path.

Mark's laid-back personality puts clients at ease and enables a fun hands-on creative process. His sessions are customized to each client, and reflect a combination of intuitive, experiential, and innovative "off the cuff" techniques.

After completing an undergraduate degree in psychology at SUNY Stony Brook in 1985, and a master’s degree in Psychology from New York University in 1987, Mark graduated from Capella University in Minneapolis with a PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. He went on to complete a prestigious post-doctoral fellowship in Consult Liaison Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. It was there that he accepted that his purpose was for something much more unique and powerful than traditional psychotherapy or coaching could allow. Transformational Life Guidance with Dr. Mark was born!

While studying psychology, Mark was also fine-tuning his gift of insight. He trained with medical intuitive Christine Page, MD in a program called Navigating the Soul's Journey. He also sought other teachers in various walks of life, from whom he drew wisdom and practical applications to integrate into his work. Mark stands out due to his ability to blend clinical expertise with highly developed perceptual skills. He guides his clients through an empowering process of self-discovery that allows them mastery over their current life situation.

His broad exposure and popularity have led to speaking engagements all over the United States as well as to a busy private practice. His collaboration with nationally certified fitness trainer Joseph Garcia in 2008 has allowed Transformational Life Guidance with Dr. Mark to soar to new heights of effectiveness with their clients--addressing body, mind, and soul. Their first venture, Boot Camp and Beyond launched to much interest in Santa Fe, and is near ready to take on the road anywhere in the world!

Looking forward, Mark actively seeks opportunities to bring his work to a nationwide audience and across borders when possible. His first book, A Life Aligned: The Journey to Allowing the Magic in Your Life continues to sell widely since it's launch in 2008; several more books are planned, including Beyond A Life Aligned: Pure Transformation for the Body, Mind, and Soul, in late 2009, and Paradise (re)Discovered: New Lessons From Old Teachers, due Winter 2010. "I want to share my passion with everyone," says Dr. Mark, "helping to create lives that embody pure inspiration!"
