Presented by: Mitch Martens, MA

Mitch is the Clinical Wellness Director for Huntington Health in Pasadena, CA. For the past 25+ years, Mitch has cultivated academic and professional experiences and applied them to the importance of turning theory into practical applications. He follows a simple philosophy that can be found in any of his programing…humans are motivated at the heart and when you risk going there, the possibilities are endless.

Rather than rattling off a list of national awards and professional accomplishments, Mitch wants you to know the guy behind the mask. He has an entire shelf dedicated to ice cream in the freezer. Despite being comfortable on stage, he truly struggles in social settings. He wants an apology from the person who invented burpees. And sadly, he recently learned eating a row of Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies will not make him thinner.

Designed by Colleagues for Colleagues

Our wellness weekend will include short didactic lectures, group physical activities, individual physical treatments, and more. Our unique program is built with practicality and intention, allowing our members to take a little time out of the ordinary to focus on themselves. The symposium will cover topics such as sleep and mental health wellness, discovering your strengths, the importance of a healthy heart, and personal physical health for longevity.

Additionally, we’ll offer Primordial Sound Meditation and physical activities such as Armenian Zumba and EFT Tapping, making this event interactive, fun, and educational.
