Mark Hunziker is a teacher and consultant and principal of Wellness Resources of Vermont. He works with individuals, teams, organizations, and communities to restore their natural state of balanced wellness. Since all human systems have evolved with tremendous resources for self-adjusting and healing, Mark sees his job as primarily one of helping clients remove the barriers to these powerful natural processes—to “get out of their own way.” The consultant’s function is simply to provide the information, support, guidance, process facilitation, or tools needed to enable the system to self-correct.
Working from a paradigm of integration of the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of the whole self, Mark has always found that an understanding of type provides an invaluable foundation for identifying issues and guiding intervention. His work can take the form of providing leadership counseling, guiding team development, administering and interpreting organizational assessments, hosting and facilitating workshops and retreats, or providing access to resources and technology that promote personal wellness.
