Marc Ryan Effron had it all. As a vice president at a major investment firm, Marc had built a very successful life for himself at a young age. The finances, the fast cars, the lifestyle, it was all there. However what wasn’t there was the feeling of fulfillment, and this emptiness led Marc down a dark path. Through sobriety, Marc has not only reinvented his own life but dedicated it to helping others get out of their own struggles through his work at Legacy Healing Center.

Growing Up

Marc first began to struggle with his mental health when his parents split up and his household started to become a negative environment. The separation of his parents saw young Marc feeling betrayed and empty. Although his home life was not what he wanted it to be, he excelled at school and did well for himself. He worked his way up the corporate ladder very quickly and became a vice president of a large financial company at 24. However, despite the success, the negative thoughts that sat within Marc’s mind, led him to substance abuse to numb the pain. It was only when the addiction saw him lose his job and his family that Marc knew he had to change.

Why Legacy Started

Knowing he had to pull himself out of the dark place he was in, Marc visited multiple treatment centers where he was disappointed by their approach to treating patients. Once finding sobriety, Marc knew that a more personalized and holistic approach should be how substance abusers and mental health patients should be treated. Finding his new calling, Marc set out to establish his own treatment facility.

Legacy was set up to be a peaceful facility that can focus on treating the underlying issues versus masking the symptoms. Starting as a three-bed pilot program, Marc ensured the program was strong enough that he would be able to send his own children there if the need was to exist. In a short few years, Marc managed to grow his facility to support over 155 beds and employed over 200 staff members that shared a common view on treatment. Now with contracts with large corporations such as American Airlines, Marc has made Legacy, a world-renowned name within the health industry.

What’s To Come For Legacy

Marc has a vision of spreading his treatment center to every State within the country. The goal is to treat as many patients as possible through a holistic approach. Since founding the Legacy Healing Center, Marc has treated over 10,000 patients with their services.

After losing it all and finally finding his calling, Marc continues to make an impact around the world through the facility, his motivational speaking, and personal development coaching.

We look forward to seeing what the rest of 2020 has for Marc and his team at Legacy.

Every great love story deserves a walk down the aisle straight out of a fairytale. From the conceptualization to the perfect centerpiece, boutique event planning companies like Gutiérrez F Studio can puzzle the details together to craft an event that tells the bride and groom’s story.

Today, where wedding ideas are beautiful yet veer toward feeling recycled, Gutiérrez F Studio imparts a sense of uniqueness, identity, and human connection to every event it brings to life.

“Everyone has access to the same Pinterest boards, but our mission is to create events that are truly unique. We aim to make every detail tell a part of our clients’ stories,” shares Fernando Gutiérrez, the founder and lead creative of Gutiérrez F Studio.

Knot Your Average I Do: Crafting Experiences

From the very first consultation, it is clear that the Mexico-based event studio is anything but run-of-the-mill. Each project is a culmination of a deeply personal journey, guided by a commitment to crafting experiences that are both visually elegant and emotionally reverberant.

At Gutiérrez F Studio, the magic of a well-crafted event is not just about grand visuals; it is about creating experiences that age gracefully into core memories over time.

The nuptials designed by Gutiérrez F Studio are out to resonate deeply with the people they celebrate. As a full-service event design and production studio, Gutiérrez F Studio specializes in transforming visions into reality through custom architectural design and art. It comprises a team of warm, reliable, and innovative creatives.

What truly speaks volumes about its signature brand is the dedication to delivering seamless, end-to-end service that covers every aspect of the event. The team meticulously plans and manages every detail, collaborating exclusively with top-tier suppliers for quality that is second to none. This encompasses aspects that engage all the senses, such as top-tier audiovisual elements and menus curated by world-renowned chefs.

The studio has put its name on the map as a master of storytelling, a notion that is evident in even the minutest of details. “We don’t just follow trends. Instead, we create atmospheres that blend romance, elegance, and innovation, tailored to reflect each couple’s unique love story,” notes Fernando Gutiérrez. “Our aesthetic is concept-driven, meaning every event we design is a one-of-a-kind narrative brought to life in creatively curated spaces.”

From 2017 to Forever

Over the next 12 months, Gutiérrez and his team will actively explore opportunities to expand their target locations, aiming to bring their bespoke event design and production services to new international markets. So far, they have been the go-to brand across Mexico and Europe.

Since its founding in 2017, Fernando Gutiérrez’s company has completed over 320 projects, earning clients’ trust locally and globally. From the beaches of Mexico to its rapid expansion into the scapes of Spain and Italy, Gutiérrez F Studio has been rendering exceptional events worldwide, proving that the celebration of love is a universal language.

“Whether we’re planning events in Mexico or across the ocean, we hope to create moments that our clients will look back on fondly,” shares Fernando Gutiérrez.

For every bride and groom that the team works with, Gutiérrez F Studio promises that each walk down the aisle is the start of a new fairytale that is entirely their own.
