Reviews Here’s what my clients say about me. I’ve included reviews by both women and men. You can find many of the men’s reviews on the male massage website. I cannot remove reviews from this site, and I have no influence over what my clients write. I am truly accountable to you in my work. 03/12/07 A life altering experience – an investment like no other.... After two perfect erotic sessions tailored to exactly what I needed; only a few hours of being cared for by this beautiful soul, I have been more grounded than ever in my life. Life seems easier somehow. More simple. Peaceful. I am in touch with my feelings, my body and spirit. I have lost almost 20 pounds in 2 months and I am more comfortable than ever in my own skin. My relationships with others are sweeter, more meaningful and authentic. When I found Mark’s website I was immediately drawn to his smiling face. I have found that his great body and beautiful face are only surpassed by his unconditional compassion and commitment to service of others. I never thought it would have been possible to have such a profound life altering experience from a massage therapist, but Mark is really much more than that. He has touched my soul and awakened my spirit. His energy is unlike any other I have had the privilege to share. … I'm a professional 42 year old married male. I was searching for very safe fun with a spiritual guide and teacher. I was not looking for an escort, a boyfriend or a therapist. I was looking to connect with someone on a deep spiritual level to explore something new, exciting and erotic. 03/11/07 I really enjoyed my session. I find it hard sometimes to ask for what I need sexually in my relationship--it takes some courage to break routine. I don't always feel that way--it tends to go in waves. I think my work stress has me in sexual "retreat", even if the affection and closeness are still there. Having time with someone objective gives me an opportunity to evaluate and recognize those desires and to give me a perspective on next steps. 03/08/07 You're the best. You remind me of who I am. I love you so deeply my heart sings just thinking of you. My body becomes bliss filled knowing that you're my brother. 03/02/07 One of the most amazing experiences in my life. After finding Mark's website, I decided this was the right thing to do for me. What I didn't know that Mark goes way beyond massage into letting me explore who I am so that I have been able to break old patterns of behavior that detracted me from being happy. I loved the experience so much that I invited Mark to spend four days with me overseas creating my own "workshop" which was phenomenal. My wife met Mark before the trip and after spending time with him and seeing and feeling the new level of love in our marriage, can't wait for me to repeat the experience which we plan to do later this year. There are many body workers and therapists who are gifted at touching your body. Mark can do that but is especially gifted at touching your heart. The relationship goes beyond the actual massage. Mark and I communicate via phone as the coaching relationship continues to develop. …I'm a professional, middle age who is looking for more than a "rubdown" or sensual experience. I like to have some kind of authentic human connection with a therapist -- no I'm not looking for a boyfriend or becoming intimately involved with a therapist, but a true human to human interaction is what I'm about. 12/30/06 You are amazing Mark. It's really good to read this woman's descriptions of how you've helped her transform. You are truly an inspiration. 11/17/06 I have been seeing Mark regularly for over a year. He is teacher, guide, and mentor. He has deepened my ability to meditate and with his help I have found a new "ME". He has awakened the deep inner spirit in me. I am shy, repressed, and have worked hard to be open to new experiences. Mark has taught me to receive touch and discover my own erotic nature. Each session is a warm, inviting, and safe experience. After years of traditional talk therapy, Mark has added a new dimension to my life and help me see life with love, praise, and gratitude. I don't regard Mark as a "massage therapist" but a healer who is shared his experience and knowledge. He has earned my respect and admiration and each session is as much a spiritual experience as a bodywork session. 09/23/06 While every nerve in my body (and, I think, my soul) is still atingle, I want to thank you for leading me on this adventure of growth and open heartedness. When I express my appreciation and admiration you sometimes don't (maybe) hear the full heart I bring to my words: so, I write them here. There is a good chance that, without this journey, my heart would have been crushed in my chest...instead of opened to the world. You have been my mentor, adviser, confidant and teacher. And, for me. you are extraordinary at what you do. I know that it your business, your profession and your living. But it is also a dedication of sharing and deep caring while still all those other things. What a gift you have...and give graciously. Quite AMAZING! 08/13/06 Your passion inspires me and gives me strength. You know I need guidance and you know I typically put myself last when in fact I need to put myself first so I can more ably take care of others. Underlying the message is your smile and your positive nods….and reminding me  “you can do it you can do it you can do it…” 07/29/06 After every session with you lately, I have wanted to call and share my gratitude for the time I spend with you. Last session was no exception. I left feeling a warm sense of “self” and greater comfort about the skin I live in today. That alone is a bigger gift than I can describe. After every session with you lately, I have wanted to call and share my gratitude for the time I spend with you. Last session was no exception. I left feeling a warm sense of “self” and greater comfort about the skin I live in today. That alone is a bigger gift than I can describe. Recently, I completed my Twelfth Step with my AA sponsor. In it, I wrote that I have come to a place of acceptance that “I am enough”. That feeling is the result of a lot of work and some of the important work has been with you. About the time I come to a place where I think, ‘I’ve done enough work with Mark and it’s time to end it,’ I have a remarkable session that leaves me feeling like I have more work to do. I continue to evolve and feel eager to foster the process with your guidance. 07/24/06  you are great, at what you do … and very affirming … strong! 07/10/06 I must say "thank you" to you, Mark. Again and again, I offer you my gratitude... (In India, we might say "I pranam to your lotus feet"!) You are a catalyst, a vehicle, for Grace in my life. In this case, Grace has taken a form that I hadn't quite expected--and that challenges me to go beyond my fears and limitations. But I guess, really, that Grace is always doing that... It's not just about "feeling good".... As Gurumayi says in her message "Experience the Power Within.  Kundalini Shakti": "Experience, then, is about learning.  Learning by venturing into new dimensions.  By going through crisis.  By facing real and imagined dangers.  By undergoing the struggles and challenges that genuinely strengthen your mind, your heart, and your soul." You're helping me to do this, Mark. Helping me to expand---and to genuinely strengthen my mind, heart, and soul. --to confront and work with aspects of my self that, without the help of Grace, I may never have encountered. You're helping me to find answers to that question---"Will I want, will I wish for all the things I should have done?  Longing to finish what I'd only just begun...?" WIth your help,with your guidance, with your compassionate attention...I will not have to come to the end of my life "wanting and wishing for all the things I should have done". I've begun a new exploration in my life. Stepping across the threshold into a new space of self love... Today, with your help, I glimpsed...I experienced an essential and core place within my being... A place of passion and longing and sweetness and fire and power and grace.... Core creativity... Connecting my heart and mind to the deep source of creativity and sensation and pleasure... Hours later, my heart is still breathing open like a flower that blooms in the rays of the full moon. Today was one of the most beautiful experiences of receiving ... and connecting to the sensual/sexual source--that I have ever experienced in my life! What do I do with this?  Except to wonder at it all--and to say "Thank you" from that core place in my heart. 06/17/06 Tonight was fun. I love the laughter! 04/03/06 You are a beautiful man with a beautiful mind! 03/09/06 I am opening myself to new erotic experiences, and not expecting to meet a Mr. Right actually anywhere. I have complete faith and confidence that the right people and events will flow to me at the right time. Remember, I said that "hunting is something we do while we wait for the Universe to manifest or desires", which is why it is so important to be clear about what we want as we manifest. You and I manifested each other to the greater good of each. 03/08/06 Thank you Markus for helping me see myself - feel myself. It is so important to me. It really is what this is all about for me. 02/25/06 I am sure that you are exhausted. I am very tired as well. I deeply appreciate you touching in. It feels good to me, and was needed and comforting to my heart. It calms me and makes me feel safe. I like feeling safe with you. I kept checking my email, hoping that you would check in. So Thank you for taking the time even though you are tired. I got what I needed today - and we tilled some good earth together. Beautiful things grow after a volcano erupts. Sometimes brand new plants that were never seen before. I will try not to look to the past. I will look forward with you, and embrace change as it evolves. We are learning together. When you are rested perhaps you will tell me more about the "test" you feel was past. I don't have understanding - and I don't expect you to explain now - but perhaps in the future when you are feeling that you can - I would like to understand more. Thank you holding the space for allowing us to move through the storm, and for being able to hold me and love me, while the rain was still on the ground. It was very healing and comforting to me. 02/02/06 As for since our meeting, I have noticed that I have reverted back on some levels, but I got more from our session than words can explain, which are keeping me from going into a shell. I believe you have started a process for me which would be hard to ignore. I look forward to planning more sessions with you in the future. Markus, again I want to say that I am grateful that you are here! You have touched my life in profound ways, and have given me the feeling that many things are possible! Thank you, and bless you! 01/18/06 Thank you does not begin to express my gratitude to you. What a generous spirit you have. I never thought about going "down the rabbit hole" when I first met you, and I didn't realize that I took the jump, at first. But you have given me such a wonderful gift - it truly is the gift of a more complete, fulfilled life. Even as the pond gets churned up and it is painful, I know that it is important, and will lead to better and better places. What a great feeling! So, I thank you will all of my heart, for your guidance, understanding, voice, suggestions, and your beautiful body. 12/20/05 Sorry for the delay in this response, but knowing you I figure that you would say that this is the time that I was meant to get back to you. First of all, yes, I did watch the interview with Bly. I enjoyed it and I want to return it to you. I am looking at a couple of possible dates for a visit to the City and I was wondering if there were any times you know now that you would not be available for a session. I also want to thank you for the nutrition information. I have shed 10 pounds and feel that I have considerably more energy. Much of that can be attributed to both your inspiration and the information you provided. I have also continued with the papaya enzyme. I still have not had a great deal of experience being physically intimate with men. .. (or emotionally intimate for that matter). I need to explore how and why my defenses have been built. You are certainly one who has been able to get through them. I would enjoy spending some time with you on my next visit. I can be flexible with the dates, so I will schedule it when I know you will have some time. I look forward to experiencing your spirit again. I hope things are going well for you. 12/01/05 The sessions always mirror my heart. That never ceases to amaze me. Yesterday was yummy. I find myself drifting to yesterday's session - and deep, delicious sighs come from my mouth. It was so lovely. I enjoying sharing my body with you. I try to remove any negative thoughts about my body and just be with my spirit. I try not to think about my visuals...I try to be in my bliss. I can actually do this a lot with you. It is lovely and freeing. There were several moments yesterday that I felt BLISS on my face. Did you see it? I enjoy truly sharing the beauty of your soul. That is what I gaze upon when I look at you. Yes, you are beautiful looking - but that is not really what I am responding to. It is your core - that moves me - holds me - warms me. I have never had that kind of genersity in my life in the way that you give it. I cherish it. It is new. I am the one usually making the tea - giving the flowers - making it beautiful for others - anticipating needs - I do it because I know how - I enjoy it - I get it - it is intuitive for me - and while I do receive love, gifts and care from others - I have never received it - the way I GIVE IT. With ease - generosity of spirit - with KNOWING..... Does that make any sense? I am astonished by the joy it gives me to receive. Thank you, Mark. Thank you. It is all received - all honored - all so deeply appreciated and cherished.
