“The first time meeting Mr. Armiento I was immediately drawn to him. The day he lectured on Spirituality I received my “ah-ha” moment. Mr. Armiento is a great teacher with a Spirit that draws people -His awareness of self & spirit allowed me to open up and explore more of myself. I feel anyone would be blessed to have him in their lives, whether as a teacher, husband, father, therapist or friend. Mr. Armiento has a Dalai lama spirit!

“Words can’t suffice to express how thankful I am for your presence at OTI…. I am more centered now than I have ever been and better equipped to handle anything that comes my way, professional or personal. The training I received from you is not only necessary information in the counseling field but it’s life changing in helping me become whole. I’m beyond grateful that you were my advisor. Mark you are truly a gift to all who cross your path! “Know you are blessed”.”

“Mark, you have the powerful ability to turn a 50 page manual of information into an enlightening experience. Anyone can stand before a group and simply read text off a powerpoint slide but it takes a great man to make that text come alive. I admire all that you have accomplished and I hope to one day have a life equally as fulfilling – continue to inspire others and bring light to dark souls.”

I am not one who is easily impressed but Mark immediately got my attention! I was told by other students that I would love him because he has a great sense of humor, very knowledgeable and  vibrates on a level that is not the norm- he thinks outside the box!  Mark presents with such enthusiasm and passion, a great skill in and of itself. Mark vibrates on a level to where he is magnetic and you can’t help but gravitate toward him. He exudes energy and confidence!   If everything in life is energy his energy centers are lined and are lit up! Whom ever crosses Mark’s path consider yourself lucky. I am!  Thank you, Mark for the role you have played in my life in such a short amount of time-  You are a gift to so many!

This program was one of the best run training programs that I have experienced and I am sure that the knowledge and personal attributes that made this program top notch also make Mark a great counselor. Many people told about how the program had changed their lives and I am sure he is continuing to help people change their lives as a counselor.”

Thank you for sharing part of your life with me, the spiritual part! Truly I have been blessed by meeting you and that’s from my heart!

Michelle Wealth, OTI Graduate 2013

By students, testimonials

“Thank you for the everlasting gift you presented for all of us in class, Mr. Armiento. There was so much emotions and passion coming through me in every moment in the class.  I guess what I am saying is that I felt every chakra and matter inside me vibrating and it would not stop. There were times I wanted to explode but I held it in. There were so many things you were hitting inside of me that I am ready to release and so many purposeful things that I am feeling that calling for me not to resist anymore. You say huge things in such simplicity that heals a person the moment they allow it to be fed into their minds. I am not trying to put you on a pedestal or anything just sharing what you have invoked inside of me….Now I no longer feel the need to save others-Nor do I feel opted to be their hero. I just could not see any of that before Mr. Armiento, I so appreciate you that it is making tears coming through my eyes. …. When I see you Mr. Armiento you are like a huge ocean that magnetizes and purges humanity in authenticities. Thank you soooo much. My arms go around you with so much gratitude. Man Mr. Armiento you are a store house of GOD Power.”
