Katie Mark

is a visionary, integrator, and catalyst for aligned living. As co-founder of CLOVE, she helps people reimagine what’s possible—guiding them to expand into their fullest expression with clarity, confidence, and joy. With a career spanning executive leadership in design and operations—from president of a renowned furniture company to chief of staff in the worlds of entertainment and emerging technology—she brings both altitude and precision to every engagement. Her gift is seeing from 30,000 feet while staying rooted in what’s real and essential. Grounded, expansive, and deeply heart-centered, she draws on years of embodied practice and global modalities to support self-resourcing, inner alignment, and creative sovereignty. Through Clove, she serves those who are already thriving—"the walking well"—and invites them to experience themselves more fully, more freely, and more powerfully than ever before.

John Heller

is a guide, strategist, and space-holder for transformation. As co-founder of Clove, he helps people redesign their inner worlds—curating experiences, relationships, and practices that unlock clarity, expansion, and soul-aligned growth. John has spent over two decades at the intersection of leadership, healing, and systems change, serving as CEO of pioneering nonprofits including Little Sun and the Presencing Institute. His work blends sharp strategic insight with deep intuitive listening, drawing on somatic wisdom, spiritual inquiry, and a fierce devotion to what is most alive in each person. Known for his ability to navigate both complexity and mystery, John creates the conditions for people to shed what no longer fits and step fully into who they’re becoming. Through Clove, he offers not a program, but a path—a designed journey back to wholeness, depth, and joy.
