Meet Your Guide: Professor Marc Cohen (aka Dr Marc)

Global Wellness Expert | Doctor, Scientist, Innovator | Co-owner, Maruia Hot Springs

Dr Marc is one of the world’s leading voices in holistic wellness. With a background in Western medicine, Chinese medicine, nutrition, herbalism, yoga, meditation, breath work, elite performance, and natural therapies, he brings together ancient wisdom and modern science like no one else.

More than 20 years ago, Dr Marc had a life-defining moment while immersed in Maruia’s geothermal waters under a full moon, surrounded by snow-dusted mountains. That experience sparked his mission to transform the world through bathing—and it’s brought him back to this land to create something extraordinary.

This retreat is the result of decades of research, personal practice, and leading wellness experiences around the world—brought together in one powerful, immersive program.
