During the third year of studying Human Kinetics at the University of British Columbia, Mark was introduced to massage therapy. Having only two percent of his vision left due to a progressive retinal degenerative condition, he felt being a Massage Therapist would allow him to provide the best service to society.

Having weakness in one sense allows the brain to provide more power to other senses, for example touch and intuition. This is a great advantage that allows Mark to function at a heightened state of awareness when treating the body. Combining this with his knowledge of human movement patterns makes for a unique and powerful massage therapy experience.

Mark is joined by his seeing-eye dog Victor. Victor is a Black Labrador/Retriever. Clients love to see the 90 pound bundle of love and joy when they come into the clinic. He provides all the dog therapy you can handle, and if you do not like dogs, Mark suggests booking with one of the other 20+ great RMTs at the clinic.

**Currently Mark’s focus is on building the therapeutic community at Everest Therapeutics and the Electra Health Floor, therefore, at this time he does not have a set massage therapy schedule. However, if you’d really like to see Mark for a treatment, please give Reception a call and they will set up a session for you.
