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.

How Private Hotsprings Can Transform Wellness Tourism with Its Lithia-Inspired Innovations

Private Hotsprings resort features exclusive infinity-edge pools fed by natural hot springs, attracting wellness tourists to British Columbia’s remote wilderness. Tina and Alex Genzer are expanding beyond hospitality with Lithios Beverages, a drink line incorporating lithia-rich mineral water from the springs. The new venture aims to bring the therapeutic benefits of the resort’s natural waters to consumers worldwide.

Enchanted By Nature

Tina and Alex are familiar with entrepreneurship. Before embarking on their journey to British Columbia, the pair successfully ran a boiler installation and construction business in Toronto, specializing in snowmelt systems. While Alex, a former Air Force pilot, honed his engineering expertise and cultivated a strong public presence with CBC and News Talk 1010 appearances, Tina led business operations with her signature entrepreneurial flair.

Tina Genzer recalls how their lives changed when they discovered the Kootenay region’s natural hot springs. “We were captivated by the serenity of this place,” she says. The couple started acquiring chalets that blend luxury and nature. Today, Private Hotsprings offers three properties: the Cedar Log Cabin with a waterfall and lake access and two chalets featuring the world’s only infinity-edge hot spring pools.

The couple’s leadership style has been instrumental in the company’s growth. The Genzers have carved out a niche that remains untouched by competitors by prioritizing exclusivity and direct customer engagement over conventional review systems. “Our mission has always been to create a serene retreat where guests can unwind, rejuvenate, and reconnect with themselves,” Alex Genzer explains.

Lithios Beverages

Tina and Alex’s idea for Lithios Beverages emerged during a restorative evening at the hot springs, inspired by the therapeutic effects of lithia-rich waters. Since its successful debut in New York earlier this year, which sold out within days, the brand is now planning to partner with a major U.S. distributor to enter the growing health and wellness beverage market. 

The Genzers are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity, as Lithios Beverages aligns with their brand ethos blending the purity of their mineral springs with health-conscious choices. “Lithios is not just a beverage, it is a lifestyle,” says Tina Genzer. “We aim to provide the same rejuvenation and vitality our guests experience, no matter where they are.”

A Rising Tide for Wellness Tourism

Wellness tourism thrives on authenticity and connection to nature, two qualities that Private Hotsprings exemplifies. The company has tapped into a lucrative market segment that prioritizes unique and restorative experiences over mass tourism by offering exclusive access to mineral-rich hot springs in a private setting.

Competitors in the wellness industry have begun to explore similar models, but only some can rival Private Hotsprings’ distinctive offerings. The company’s first-in-the-world infinity-edge pools and meticulous curation of guest experiences give it a significant edge.

The Next Phase

Despite these challenges, the Genzers remain optimistic about the future. Their dual focus on Private Hotsprings and Lithios Beverages allows them to innovate within two complementary markets.

The next phase of their journey includes expanding Lithios Beverages across the U.S., emphasizing sustainability and transparency. Lithios Beverages has opened up its next round of funding to scale its operations.  

The Genzers are also exploring ways to share their story with a broader audience. “We want investors and guests alike to understand the heart and vision behind what we do,” Tina says. “It is not just about running a business, it is about creating something meaningful and lasting.”

Tina and Alex Genzer have created an example of success that other industry players will undoubtedly seek to emulate by blending luxury with nature and leveraging their lithia-rich waters for global impact.
