CLIENT REVIEWS
Seeing Mark regularly for Tuina has been life changing after several years of lower back pain and SI joint pain. Mark has been a key therapist on my road back to recovery. His skill and sensitivity as well as passion for his craft seeps through each and every treatment, and I can not recommend him enough. He always tailors the treatment to my needs on the day; deep work or a more gentle touch, and I always leave feeling refreshed and with an improvement in my symptoms. I warmly recommend Mark.
