ELEVATE YOUR KOKORO

I’m Mark Wilbrink, coach and movement specialist
with a background in physiotherapy.

I work with ambitious individuals
to build strength, energy, and resilience
without burning out or chasing extremes.

My approach combines mindful athleticism and intentional living.

I created The Kokoro Collective,
a philosophy and practice that reflects
how I train, recover, and work with people.

Build Strength, Energy & Resilience Without Burnout.
Guided by Science, Grounded in Balance

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

You train hard, but your progress doesn’t match your effort.
Your energy, recovery or gut health keeps derailing your training.
You want to be consistent, but work, stress and travel pull you off track.
You feel overwhelmed by conflicting information and don’t know what to trust.

If you recognise yourself in one or more of these, you’re in the right place.

Build Clarity Together

Start with The Kokoro Habit Tracker (Free)

Change starts with awareness.

This free 30-day tracker helps you:

✓ Choose the habits that matter most to you
✓ Set monthly intentions with purpose
✓ Track your consistency across 30 days
✓ Reflect on what's working (and what's not)

This isn't a rigid system, it's a tool for
self-awareness and lasting change.

WHO I AM

I’m Mark Wilbrink, coach and movement specialist with a background in physiotherapy.

I help driven individuals build strength, energy, and clarity through mindful athleticism and sustainable performance. My passion is helping people unlock their full potential by combining science-based performance training with a zen-holistic approach to lifestyle and wellbeing.

For me, movement is more than fitness. It’s resilience when life gets tough. It’s focus in a world full of distractions. It’s confidence that carries into every part of your life. Above all, movement can be meditation and a personal or collective journey.

At the heart of my work is kokoro, the Japanese concept for the unity of body, mind, and spirit. Whether it’s through strength training, improving recovery, gut health, or cultivating mental clarity, my goal is simple:

To help you move with purpose, perform at your best, and create lasting wellbeing.

THE KOKORO APPROACH

Most training programs focus on what to do.

We start with understanding why your current approach isn't working.
Then we build a system that actually fits your life.

ASSESS

Before any plan, we need clarity.

What we uncover:

- Your body's actual capacity (not what you think it should be)
- Movement quality and injury risk
- Lifestyle choices, stress and time constraints

(Optional)
- Recovery patterns through HRV
and sleep trackers
- Gut health and energy markers
via blood analysis

The outcome:

A complete picture of where you are and what's actually holding you back.

Timeline: Week 1

BUILD

Now we design a plan around your reality,
not a template.

What you get:

- Training that adapts to your recovery
(optionally with WHOOP/Oura data)
- Nutrition guidelines that align with your gut health
and goals
- Recovery strategies that fit your schedule
- All delivered through my coaching app with weekly check-ins
- Everything works together: structured, adaptable, and grounded in mindful athleticism.

The outcome:

Structure without rigidity. Progress without burnout.

Timeline: Weeks 2-12+

ELEVATE

This is where you start to unlock your potential, with clarity, intention, and balance.

This is where the work compounds.

Your training improves your sleep.

Your recovery enhances your performance.

Your mindset shifts from forcing to flowing.

.Where your training, recovery, and lifestyle align into sustainable growth.

The outcome:

Sustainable strength. Consistent energy. Clarity that carries into life. This is Kokoro in practice.

He always keeps me motivated, consistent, and excited about my progress while keeping our goals clear and intentional.”

Broken Arm + Calf Tear → Full Rehab & Sub-3 Marathon PB

“After breaking my arm and needing surgery, I worked with Mark for a year. He interpreted the medical images clearly, restored my range of motion, and rebuilt my strength in a structured way. Later, he helped me recover from a calf tear and guided me through an intentional, balanced training plan that got me running again just in time to smash my marathon PB under 3 hours. His recovery strategy and ability to bring clarity during setbacks made all the difference.”
