Overview

What makes me different? My life-long dedication to dance and movement. I have 13+ years of experience in the fields of anatomy, bio-mechanics and somatics.

My bodywork practice is a unique blend of styles. Myofascial, Shiatsu, Thai and more.. (ask about my aquatic bodywork). Working with gravity’s support and mindful positioning, I apply steady pressure to melt deep holding patterns and decompress areas of chronic tension such as the hips, spine and shoulders. Massage for me is an opportunity to... give the nervous system a powerful reset and offer someone an experience of timeless presence in their body. It’s important to me to take the time to listen and move at the pace of your body, not my ideas.

Whether you are looking to recover from sore muscles, experience deep healing, or simply declutter your mind— I am here to guide you back into your body and give you greater access to the pleasure and awe of what it is to be a human being.

As a queer man, I feel at home sharing my bodywork skills here in the LGBTQ+ community. All are welcome.

Therapeutic Only. Please text and be sure to introduce yourself in your message for a prompt reply! Thanks. Have a wonderful day 🙏 Marcus

Marcus is a very unique massage therapist in the best way. I am highly recommending his skills and treatment abilities. The massages I’ve had over the years have all been sensational and all conducted in a very professional manner. Marcus is the perfect candidate for anybody who is a massage connoisseur.

I've had several massage sessions with Marcus and I would like to highly recommend him. He masterfully creates an experience like no other. Insightful. intuitive. creative. caring. His style is all his own; unfolding like a harmonious dance. Touch: firm, focussed, and effective. I'm deeply impressed and feel so lucky to have found this finely attuned Being to help relieve my aches & pains, and bring more balance and well-feeling into my Life.
