Overview

Swedish massage is now available at a new lower rate, making regular therapeutic care more accessible. I’m also now offering Hakomi sessions — a gentle, mindfulness-based somatic therapy that invites you to slow down and listen to what your body is already saying. Rather than talking about your experience, Hakomi guides you into it, using present-moment awareness, breath, and subtle touch to explore the beliefs and patterns held in your nervous system and tissues. Many clients describe it as the... missing link between talk therapy and bodywork — a space where lasting insight and physical relief meet. I travel throughout Michigan bringing fully equipped, professional massage services directly to your city, maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and safety in every setting. I am fully licensed, insured, and professionally compliant. Reach out today to schedule your session and start feeling better in your body.

Feb. 01, 2018 in Chicago, IL (in-studio)

This man knows his stuff. Besides the massage it was almost like a physical therapy session. I walked out of there refreshed relaxed and a bit taller. I can’t wait for my next appt
If you are looking for a therapist be it massage, or physical therapy type, I highly recommend Mark.

Mark is an excellent massage therapist. He used several innovative techniques that were incredibly effective. He really knows what he's doing and is a genuinely nice person. I wouldn't hesitate to book an appointment with him.

Mark has helped relieve tension and stress in my lower back and shoulders. he gave me techniques to prevent pain returning. He is a great guy, has great hands and wonderful intuitive sense as he delivers a great massage. I will call on him again.

Incredible techniques , extraordinary knowledge combined together in one man which is blessed in the art of massage and healing.
His energy is warm and comforting therefore any one , even those who have never presented themselves for massage would be comfortable in his presence in his space and on his table.

March 26, 2016 in Columbus, OH (in-studio)

This was my first massage with Mark and I'm so glad I decided to give him a try during his visit to Columbus. The session began with some general questions about myself and any issues I had been experiencing. It was clear from the beginning that Mark knows his craft very well.

The session included a wide range of pressure and modalities. I suffer from lower back pain and Mark knew exactly what to do to help, including some very effective stretching.

We concluded with Mark reiterating things I could do between massages to help with my lower back and shoulders.

Mark is very easy to talk to, you can tell his goal is to help his clients feel better not just during the massage but for weeks to follow.

Definitely, will look Mark up when I visit Chicago and certainly hope he decides to visit Columbus again soon.
