About Marco

True happiness begins with a choice we make within ourselves.

In his work as a coach, Marco has heard countless versions of the same promise: “I’ll be happy when…” When the scale shows a certain number. When someone changes. When more money arrives. When life finally looks the way we think it should.

He points out that these conditions may create a brief feeling of satisfaction, but that feeling is fragile and temporary. Real happiness, he believes, cannot depend on external circumstances, other people, or a future moment outside our control.

In his workshops, Marco shares a simple but powerful formula for happiness, one that reflects self-awareness, personal growth, and empowerment:

Happiness = coherence + gratitude + presence + wellbeing + letting go

Being coherent means aligning what you do with what you think and feel. When there is conflict between the inner and outer self, it can lead to guilt, shame, self-criticism, and other difficult emotions.

Being grateful is about seeing life as a series of gifts, opportunities, and lessons. Gratitude helps bring perspective and reminds us to value each moment as part of our growth.

Flowing in the present moment means returning to now instead of being pulled into the past or carried away by the future. Marco encourages mindfulness through simple awareness of breath, movement, the heart, temperature, colors, shapes, and the sounds around us.

Choosing wellbeing means making decisions that feel right from within. Whether in relationships or work, Marco invites people to choose what genuinely supports their wellbeing rather than what simply offers status, approval, or higher pay.

Letting go is the release of negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that drain energy and create unnecessary effort. By releasing what no longer serves us, life becomes lighter, and joy becomes more available.

Marco also shares the idea that happiness is most meaningful when it is shared freely, not out of need or pressure, but from a place of love and joy.

His message is simple: be happy, and share that happiness with others without needing to.

Marco is a health & wellness coach.
