MARK D. HINDS
FOUNDER AND CO-VISIONEER
Mark Hinds’ life is highlighted by dramatic turning points that led him to increasingly significant levels of accomplishments and service. In 1987 a car that ran a red light at over 45 miles per hour hit him. His miraculous recovery from the multiple internal injuries and broken bones set the stage for many more significant turning points in his life.
A meeting with a group of leading edge nutritional researchers led him to understand that diet may have a positive effect on recovery from injuries, athletic performance and healing from disease. From this experience Mr. Hinds decided to pursue an education in nutrition. He gained his Dietician Certification in 1989 and began to work with competitive body builders, cancer patients, heart disease patients, and others. Soon his clients were experiencing major improvements from the nutritional changes that he applied to their individual situations.
Mr. Hinds’ research confirmed a close correlation between the mental attitude of the people and the success or failure of their nutritional goals. Mr. Hinds collaborated with researchers, including those from Stanford University, who have been investigating the link between wellness and the mental state of the patient. While conducting this research, Mr. Hinds obtained his M.H.T. certification in Hypnotherapy.
In 2001 Mr. Hinds launched the MindSoul research project to discover how thought creates physical change in the body. The project became a high-level research program utilizing 24 channel EEG equipment, biofeedback equipment, and other advanced technologies. Today, he is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading authorities in hypnosis. His extensive MindSoul hypnosis program series was made available to the public in 2007.
In 2001, Mr. Hinds published his first book, “Vegetarian Made Easy” which received very favorable press and reviews and is still popular today.
Concurrently Mr. Hinds was developing environmentally and economically sound technologies for water usage and delivery systems for sustainable housing. His work in these areas led to major aesthetic and energy efficient improvements that are still regarded as the industry standards. Mr. Hinds also worked with local municipalities to pioneer the development of Drug Free Zones in modular housing complexes.
In 2002 Mr. Hinds was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. The prognosis he received was grim, he was going to be confined to a wheel chair or worse, he would leave the planet quickly. This drove him to a worldwide investigation for every technology that was being used to observe and assist the human body in its path towards wellness.
The culmination of this research combined with his life long study and practice of nutrition, wellness, mind/body medicine and hypnosis resulted in his total recovery. Mr. Hinds founded HealthWalk Clinic and Products in 2006 to offer to the world the total health and wellness he has regained from his inquiry and journey.
