A Path Born from Service
I’ve always believed that my life’s purpose was to serve others. This belief guided me through my early years, leading me to join the Indian Air Force, where I proudly served for five years. My time in the Air Force instilled in me a sense of discipline, honour, and a deep commitment to the well-being of others. Every day, I woke up with a mission: to protect and serve my country.
However, after five years of service, life presented me with an opportunity that would forever change my journey. I chose to take voluntary retirement on compassionate grounds. It wasn’t an easy decision, but I knew deep down that my calling to serve hadn’t ended—it had only evolved. I wanted to serve my nation, but this time, I would do it by helping people achieve better health. This is when my journey into fitness and, ultimately, naturopathy and alternative medicine truly began.
Becoming an International Fitness Coach
After leaving the Air Force, I channelled my energy and passion into fitness. Physical fitness has always been a central part of my life, and I wanted to share its benefits with others. I became an internationally certified fitness coach, dedicating myself to helping people transform their bodies and improve their lives through exercise.
Over the years, I worked with clients from all walks of life, guiding them on their fitness journeys. I helped individuals shed pounds, build strength, and rediscover their confidence. It was incredibly rewarding to see people achieve their goals, knowing that I had played a part in their transformation.
But as time went on, I started to notice a pattern. Many of my clients were achieving physical fitness, but they still struggled with deeper health issues—chronic pain, lifestyle diseases, hormonal imbalances, and more. I realized that exercise, while incredibly powerful, wasn’t enough to address these complex issues. There was a missing piece to the puzzle, and I was determined to find it.
The Discovery of Holistic Healing
This realization led me to explore holistic health solutions, particularly naturopathy and alternative medicine. As I delved deeper into these fields, I became fascinated by the body’s innate ability to heal itself when given the right conditions. Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on treating symptoms, naturopathy addresses the root cause of illness and pain.
The more I learned, the more I knew that this was the path I was meant to follow. Naturopathy aligned perfectly with my belief that true health comes from within, and that the body, mind, and spirit must be in harmony for a person to thrive. I saw how natural treatments—like nutrition, detoxification, and movement—could not only prevent diseases but also reverse them.
This was the solution I had been looking for. By integrating fitness with holistic healing, I could help my clients achieve true wellness, not just physical strength. It was a game-changing realization, and I knew I had to bring this approach to as many people as possible.
The Birth of MARS Wellspring Center
With this vision in mind, I founded MARS Wellspring Center, the brand name of VELMARS Wellspring Health. The goal was simple: to provide people with holistic health solutions that combine the best of naturopathy, alternative medicine, and fitness. At MARS, we believe that health isn’t just about looking good or being fit; it’s about feeling good, inside and out.
Our approach, which we call the MARS Method, is designed to heal the whole person. We use movement science to improve posture and alleviate pain while incorporating naturopathic treatments to address underlying health issues like lifestyle diseases, fertility challenges, and chronic stress. Our goal is not only to help people recover but to empower them to take control of their health and live vibrant, pain-free lives.
At MARS Wellspring Center, we are not just providing services—we are creating a movement. A movement that combines Indian wellness principles with global standards to revolutionize the way people approach their health.
Why I Chose Naturopathy and Alternative Medicine
People often ask me why, after years of success as a fitness coach, I chose to shift my focus to naturopathy and alternative medicine. The answer is simple: I realized that fitness alone could not solve the deep-rooted health issues so many people face today.
Naturopathy offered me a way to address the root causes of pain, disease, and dysfunction. It aligned perfectly with my belief in the power of natural healing and the body’s ability to recover when given the right support. By combining fitness with naturopathy, I could offer my clients a complete solution—one that would not only improve their physical strength but also restore their overall well-being.
I’ve seen firsthand how naturopathy can transform lives. Whether it’s reversing a lifestyle disease, managing chronic pain, or boosting fertility, this approach goes beyond the surface to heal the whole person. That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to sharing these powerful, natural solutions with as many people as possible.
