Mariner Wellness Institute began as the Counseling Offices of Mark and Marcia Mariner in Worcester, MA, in 1992. Trained under André Rochais, founder of Personality and Human Relations (PRH)—a French approach to positive psychology—Mark and Marcia have spent over 30 years integrating therapeutic wellness with a human development framework.

In 2005, they established The Mariner Center for Human Development, an educational and retreat center in Auburn, MA, which served the Central Massachusetts community for fifteen years with a heart-centered approach to healing and transformation.

Since 2020, the organization has evolved into Mariner Wellness Institute—a bicoastal holistic wellness and training platform offering facilitator training programs, coaching, retreats, and events online and in-person at locations in CA, MA, and NY. Through our annual offerings, we continue our mission to awaken the best in each person we serve and support their journey of personal transformation and well-being.
