We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Marc Glikin a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Marc, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about the best advice you’ve ever given to a client? (Please note this response is for education/entertainment purposes only and shouldn’t be construed as advice for the reader)
Many individuals visit my office seeking relief from various physical discomforts, such as neck or back pain, shoulder discomfort, and hip pain, among others. While I make it a priority to address their immediate physical concerns, I also strive to guide them towards a comprehensive, holistic approach to health. Recognizing the intricate connection between our physical, mental, and emotional well-being, I advocate for a deeper understanding of our complex nature as humans.
In my experience, I have found that our mental and emotional states can significantly impact our overall health. In light of this, my best advice to all my clients/patients is to embrace movement — to keep their bodies active and engaged. I encourage them to stay present in the everyday moments, fostering gratitude, and to approach their daily activities with mindful intention. This holistic approach to health not only addresses the immediate physical issues but also contributes to a more balanced and fulfilling life.
In the quest for optimal well-being, I believe that acknowledging and nurturing both the physical and mental aspects of our being is essential. By incorporating these practices into our daily lives, we empower ourselves to achieve a state of health that goes beyond the absence of pain, promoting vitality and a sense of overall wellness.

Marc, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Driven by a mission to educate and empower the public, I established Aligned Health and Wellness, a sanctuary serving West Hollywood, CA, and the greater Los Angeles Area. Our clinic is designed to be warm, inviting, and dedicated to the best natural healing practices available. Departing from the typical clinical setting, I intentionally created an environment where clients feel a sense of relaxation and upliftment from the moment they step through the door.
Having grown up in this neighborhood, I am privileged to give back to this wonderful community through Aligned Health and Wellness. Our approach integrates modern chiropractic techniques with innovative physiotherapy, such as ‘Human TECAR,’ one-on-one stretch therapy, infrared saunas, compression therapy, and a range of group classes, including Yoga, Breathwork, and Sound Healing.
At Aligned Health and Wellness, we are committed to offering a holistic and modern chiropractic experience, striving to redefine the standards of healthcare. Our aim is to provide a space where individuals not only find relief but embark on a journey towards optimal well-being, embracing the transformative potential of natural healing practices.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
While marketing has played a crucial role in attracting clients, the most effective strategy for growing my clientele has been through word-of-mouth referrals and positive Google reviews. The power of personal recommendations and testimonials cannot be overstated. When satisfied clients share their positive experiences with friends, family, and their online communities, it creates a level of trust and credibility that traditional marketing struggles to achieve.
The genuine enthusiasm of existing clients serves as a powerful endorsement. It not only brings in new clients but also contributes to creating a supportive and loyal community around Aligned Health and Wellness. Focusing on delivering exceptional service, personalized care, and fostering positive client relationships has proven to be the cornerstone of our growth strategy, creating a ripple effect of referrals that continues to expand our reach and impact in the community.
