As founder and co-director of Touchstone Healing Arts Mark brings over 20 years of experience to his private practice.

Born in Zimbabwe and raised in England, Mark has been a massage practitioner since 1989. He is a graduate of The American Institute of Massage Therapy, Walnut Creek, California, and Threeways School of Massage, Norfolk, England.
Mark’s strong independent streak kept him busy in the early part of his career working a private practice in many settings. He took his on-site chair massage to trade shows, hospitals, schools and businesses, working outdoors in back alleys and in well appointed penthouse suites. His love of interacting with people has kept his work balanced between public settings and the private healing space of his massage office.

Having a deep yearning for self improvement and spiritual awakening Mark has spent many years questing and experiencing various cultures’ spiritual and healing practices. Since Spring 2007 he has been studying in-depth with his teacher, Richard Strozzi-Heckler and became a certified Somatic Coach in March 2008. In 2005 he took a 200 hour Shiatsu therapy training conducted at Touchstone with Scott Moylan. In 2004 he studied for a year with a druid and shamanic healer, Ivan Mac Beth. In 2001 he completed his 200 hour yoga teacher training at Kripalu Center in Lennox, MA and over the years he has been actively involved in men’s support group work adopting techniques from various traditions including western psychotherapy and Native American Indian rituals.

Mark’s deep wish is to touch and inspire as many people as possible, encouraging them to take responsibility for their own health and healing and, in so doing, bring healing to our planet. His role at Touchstone fulfills much of this vision as more and more people come to learn and experience the power of touch.
