MARIO R
I’m Mario, founder of Mindfulness Masters.
I was born in the border city of El Paso, Texas—raised between cultures, languages, and ways of seeing the world. That experience taught me how to hold paradox, how to listen deeply, and how to walk with humility through transformation.
Over the last two decades, my path has led me through ancestral traditions, modern therapeutic practices, and intense personal thresholds. Each experience shaped the way I guide today—not just as a practitioner, but as someone who has lived the work.
I created Mindfulness Masters in 2011 with one purpose:
To guide others back to themselves.
What I’ve learned is this:
True well-being doesn’t come from adopting a method.
It comes from remembering who you are—and building a life that reflects it.
My role is to support that process. To create a space where you feel safe enough to explore, challenged enough to grow, and free enough to walk in your own rhythm. Together, we build a path that is sustainable, sacred, and real.
✦ How I Guide
I work as a consultant, guide, and companion—not a healer, not a coach, and not a guru. My presence is not to lead, but to walk beside you while you uncover the rhythm that already lives within you.
The methods I use draw from many lineages and disciplines, including:
+ Mindfulness and symbolic integration
+ Somatic and emotional work
+ Neuroscience-informed practices
+ Ancestral traditions and Mexican medicine
+ Modern therapeutic tools and altered states of consciousness
But tools are only meaningful if they meet your truth.
That’s the center of everything we do:
Your clarity. Your timing. Your authority.
✦ The Heart of My Practice
I don’t offer formulas. I offer rhythm.
I don’t lead. I walk with you.
Whether we’re working one-on-one, in ceremony, or through self-guided rituals, the aim is always the same:
To support you in building a life that feels aligned, embodied, and real.
You don’t need to become someone new.
You just need the space to remember who you’ve always been.
This is what I hold.
This is what I offer.
And if you feel called to walk this path—I’ll be here.
