MARKO

Hi, I'm

My name is Marko Ciomkalo, and I've walked a path filled with both darkness and light, struggle and triumph. Born and raised in the vibrant city of Toronto, I was like any other young man in my late teens and early twenties – eager to explore, enjoy life, and indulge in its pleasures.

I reveled in the energy of music festivals, the camaraderie of bars, and the thrill of late-night parties. But as the years passed, what started as innocent fun gradually evolved into something darker. I found myself entangled in a web of alcohol, smoking, and various narcotics, oblivious to the looming shadow that was about to engulf me.

It was a routine surgery that served as the catalyst for my downward spiral. A prescription for oxycodone from my doctor quickly morphed into an addiction I couldn't escape. Before I knew it, my life was unraveling at the seams. My long-term relationship crumbled, my job slipped through my fingers, and I found myself teetering on the edge of despair.

But amidst the chaos, there was a beacon of hope – my family. Recognizing the depths of my struggle, my brother intervened, guiding me towards the path of recovery. With his unwavering support, I embarked on a journey of healing, starting with detox and followed by years of perseverance and growth.

It wasn't easy. Temptation lurked around every corner, and the road to sobriety was fraught with challenges. But with each passing day, I found strength in the love of my family, the camaraderie of fellow warriors in recovery, and the unyielding determination within myself.

Six years later, I stand before you – sober, renewed, and filled with a sense of purpose that transcends my past struggles. I've rediscovered my passion for fitness, reignited my enthusiasm for work, and quietly extended a helping hand to friends battling their own demons.

Through my journey, I've come to realize that my calling lies in helping others navigate the tumultuous waters of addiction and recovery. My own experiences have honed my instincts, imbued me with a no-nonsense approach, and instilled in me an unwavering belief in the power of transformation.

That's why I became a life coach.

With every client I encounter, I see a reflection of my former self – lost, struggling, and searching for a way out. But I also see the glimmer of hope, the flicker of resilience, and the potential for a brighter tomorrow. It's my mission to guide others towards that light, to offer them the tools, support, and unwavering belief they need to rewrite their story, just as I did.

Life coaching isn't just a profession for me – it's a calling, a testament to the transformative power of perseverance and the boundless potential within each and every one of us. So if you find yourself standing at a crossroads, grappling with the weight of addiction, or simply searching for a guiding hand, know that I'm here for you.

Together, we'll navigate the twists and turns of your journey, uncovering hidden strengths, charting a course towards recovery, and ultimately, discovering the limitless possibilities that await on the other side.

Because if I've learned anything from my own journey, it's this – no matter how dark the night may seem, the dawn always breaks, and with it, the promise of a new beginning.
