Mario Starace spent 30 years as a rehabilitation counselor and intensive case manager with the New York State Office of Mental Health. Today he is a wellness consultant, holistic health practitioner, speaker and author who inspires individuals and helps people shift stress into satisfaction through the practice of Conscious Contentment. This practice is supported through the modalities of breath work, relaxation response, aromatherapy (essential oils),and body/energy work from Yoga, Tai Chi, and Chi Kung (Qi Gong).
Currently Mario is welcoming individuals on a limited basis into a private practice setting in Bayside, Queens, NY. He specializes in awakening individuals to a higher purpose and greater sense of fulfillment/satisfaction, through Conscious Contentment as well as the practices of Transpersonal Counseling, Reiki, and Raindrop Technique as a practitioner of aromatherapy.
Fulfill your birthright to peace and contentment through natural means. Let Mario assist you with letting go of unnecessary stress and discovering deeper purpose and satisfaction with life.
“A great being once said, ‘The most important thing we can do in our lives is to give, to serve another- unconditionally- with commitment, respect and love.’ It is one thing to know this with our mind and our thoughts, yet quite another to fully embrace this message and act on it with the totality of our hearts. Mario Starace embodies the compassion and understanding needed so critically in helping others to move through their pain and suffering. In this way, healing can and will happen.”
“Picture a man who spent 30 years working with the persistently mentally ill, who also volunteered his free time to venture into dangerous prisons to teach inmates how to meditate. That level of compassion, fortitude, and dedication to humanity is rare–yet it’s also a gift that Mario shares in abundance with those who seek him out.”
I have known Mario for many years as a student and now as a highly qualified teacher. I greatly recommend his wise counsel as well as his written words of clarity and meaning.
