About Dr Mark
My story
Embark on a Transformative Journey—Inspiration, Growth, and Authentic Connection
I am Dr. Mark Arcuri—a dynamic speaker, globally recognized author, and passionate educator—dedicated to transforming life’s challenges into opportunities for profound growth, insight, and joy.
My academic foundation in Psychology includes a Bachelor’s from SUNY Stony Brook, a Master’s from New York University, and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Capella University. My pursuit of integrative well-being led me through a post-doctoral fellowship in Consult Liaison Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, and intensive training in Integrative Health and Lifestyle at the University of Arizona’s Center for Integrative Medicine—giving me a unique perspective on the many facets of health and fulfillment.
I am the Academic Coordinator for MS and PhD Clinical Psychology at Walden University and serve as adjunct faculty in the Mind-Body Medicine program at Saybrook University. These roles allow me to cultivate and inspire the next generation of professionals—while continuing to grow and learn myself.
My own journey of self-discovery fuels my passion for helping others unlock their fullest potential. I believe that every obstacle is an invitation to evolve—and that our most authentic lives are forged through curiosity, resilience, and connection.
Through impactful seminars, engaging workshops, and powerful keynote presentations—delivered virtually or in person, from my base in beautiful Querétaro, México and wherever inspiration leads—I create transformative experiences for groups, organizations, and communities of all kinds.
My writing, including my internationally acclaimed book A Life Aligned: The Journey to Allowing the Magic in Your Life (2008), offers readers around the world practical wisdom and inspiration for personal and collective growth. My upcoming book, Paradise (re)Discovered: Authenticity in a New World, is set for release in late-2025 and promises to further expand the conversation on living authentically in today’s changing world.
Beyond my professional life, you’ll often find me traveling, embracing outdoor adventures, tending to my garden, exploring design, savoring quiet afternoons in charming cafés, and nurturing meaningful connections with friends old and new.
If you’re ready to unlock the extraordinary within your group, team, or organization—or to be inspired by new stories and ideas from my writing—I invite you to connect with me. Let’s co-create transformative experiences and embrace every moment as an opportunity for a richer, more fulfilling existence.
