OCEA Recovery supports addiction and mental health recovery across Greater Vancouver through coaching, counselling, treatment referrals, and interventions.
Marc is an experienced Recovery Coach who can deal with complex recovery issues. I cannot recommend him more highly. He is extremely professional and talented.
His knowledge of recovery is very deep. He is an excellent resource for any individual or family struggling with addiction and recovery.
Chris Stewart-Patterson, MD, CISAM
With incredible skill, Marc led a compassionate intervention that helped our son finally agree to accept help. Marc masterfully incorporated our family's letters of support into the process, then prepared and supported us ahead of time and created a circle of love and support that allowed our son to hear us and agree to enter treatment.
Grateful Parents
The space that Marc and Erin create for breathwork ceremonies is truly sacred and deeply transformative. Whether in a solo or group session, I feel completely held in a container of safety, compassion, and unconditional acceptance

Core Beliefs
Recovery is possible for everyone.
Change can happen at any stage, and every person deserves support that honours their capacity for growth.
Recovery is not one-size-fits-all.
Each individual’s path is unique and deserves an approach that is personalized, flexible, and responsive.
Healing begins with safety and connection.
Lasting change happens in spaces rooted in trust, compassion, and non-judgment.
Recovery is about more than abstinence.
True recovery supports emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual well-being—and building a meaningful life.
