I woke up with a tight back and looked to see was available. saw that Mark was visiting the desert and online so I reached out. I had seen him a couple of years ago and remembered him being good. That said, today was amazing. This is a therapist who deserves the name. His understanding of the musculature of the body is evident. His deep tissue massage
as well as relaxing bodywork combined is something quite special. His stretches are spectacular and I left feeling very relaxed and vibrant. I look forward to seeing you on your next visit to Palm Springs

Was having an extra stressful week and was so glad I went to Mark. His space is chill and inviting, just like his overall vibe. He listened to what my issues were and not only concentrated there, but overall, his stretching and massage techniques are second to none. I haven’t been this relaxed in a while and definitely will be back.

Jan. 28, 2024 in Los Angeles, CA (in-studio)

Mark gave me the best massage I could want, and needed. I enjoyed seeing him again, this was my 2nd session with him. He welcomes you with a great hug and warm smile. I texted him last minute and was not sure if he would be available that night. Thankfully he was as I was super stressed. He gave me a good working over, and today I have to say my back feels great. Glad to have him as my masseur because you'll get the best care.

I couldn't have been happier with my massage with this charming and lovely guy. Wow. There aren't enough superlatives in the English language, but to say he listened to what I asked for and then delivered times ten would probably still be an understatement. His touch is amazing, he has great strength which I love in a massage. He's so attentive and really makes you melt into the experience. His place is lovely, the massage table is kind of amazing, which aren't even close to the best attributes about the session. I'm grateful to have crossed paths with this gent and hope it's the first session of many. Highly, highly recommend.

Had such a fantastic experience with Mark. Communication was excellent, parking was easy, and directions to his place were clear. Mark is very friendly, handsome and in great shape. He asked about my needs and made me feel comfortable and relaxed in his studio. He is strong and gave me one of the best massages I’ve ever had. He really knows what he’s doing. I never knew what to expect every moment of this massage - he was surprising me every step of the way. Whether it was warm towels, or unique hand tools to enhance the massage, I was in heaven. He spends time on areas that others tend to neglect - such as feet and scalp - which are both some of my favorite areas. I left feeling great and so relaxed. I can’t wait to go back

I happened to be in Burbank, visiting from Las Vegas Mark was very easy to contact and arrange for a massage. There’s a reason why he has so many reviews … Amazing Massage! You know when you try to meet a new masseur for the first time and have some reservations if they are authentic and nonjudgmental Mark was that and more! Absolutely relaxed and happy - from the warm greeting, the genuine hospitality, concern to make sure I was comfortable, and the intuition of what my body needed. Totally worth it. If ever you are in the area and in need of a top notch massage and soothing bodywork. Thank you Mark!!

July 15, 2022 in North Hollywood, CA (in-studio)

Absolutely fantastic. I've been a few times now, and as he gets to know me and my body more, the better the experience is. Friendly, personable greeting at the door instantly makes me comfortable and relaxed. Really sets the mood for the session. The massage session itself was everything I wanted it to be, and more. He's very intuitive and was delivering the experience I wanted without having to verbalize it. Highly highly recommend.

Mark has to be the most talented, thoughtful masseur I've ever had the pleasure of booking. His massage pressure is on point, and his emphasis on guided stretching unlocks looseness that you didn't think you still had in you. He really makes sure to engage with all your senses, from cool-down misting to luxurious warm towels and oils. I slept like a baby for the first time in weeks after our time together, and I will definitely be coming back to see him again in the future.

Feb. 03, 2022 in Los Angeles, CA (in-studio)

I have seen Mark regularly for several years now. He's polite & charming. He responds to messages as quickly as he can, a feat, considering he's busy with more than just massage. He consistently provides both a relaxing massage and a stimulating experience with all the right personal touches. His charming smile, and inviting personality is perfectly suited to being the best masseur he can be while you are on his table. You are the center of his attention throughout the entire session. No udgement and no attitude. Thank you Mark!

Oct. 13, 2021 in Los Angeles, CA (in-studio)

Mark was absolutely amazing. It was so easy to schedule an appointment with him. He went above and beyond offering a complete spa massage experience with hot oil, cool mist, hot stones, and hot towels. He was incredibly nice and intuitive with his body knowledge. Such a great guy. Highly recommended!

July 03, 2021 in North Hollywood, CA (in-studio)

I think I found my new masseur. To me, it felt like Mark went above and beyond. He literally took my breath away. He knows his craft, his touch is involved and shows the experience of someone that understands intuitively when to be intense and at the same time gentle and caring. I tend to be a little nervous when I meet a new masseur, so I appreciate how Mark made me feel so comfortable and at ease the moment we met. He is easy to chat with, he is easy on the eyes, and most importantly I left his studio floating and thinking about my next massage with him.

May 09, 2021 in North Hollywood, CA (in-studio)

I have been getting massages from Mark for several years now. Each time I visit Mark, his technique only improves; and, he adds many innovative features that make me so relaxed and wanting to book my next session.

Mark is attentive to the client and communicates often making sure the process is moving along for total relaxation. I particularly enjoyed the hot towels and hot stones.

Mark creates a specific massage for me by the input I give him … back, neck and legs need attention. He always addresses each area fully to my requests. After each massage, I look forward to the next appointment with anticipation. I recommend Mark’s massage to anyone who is in need of proper treatment and relaxation.

This was my first time booking with Mark. I was traveling from out of town. The ease of booking an appointment was a breeze. I made a sixty minute massage, afterwards I’m kicking myself for not doing a ninety minutes. When he greets you at the door with his killer smile, you know you have made the right choice. After a brief conversation he started the massage. He knew exactly what areas needed attention. He never asked if the pressure was good....he didn’t have to. Don’t hesitate to book an appointment...cause I know when I’m back in the area, I will certainly see him!

I have seen Mark several times in the last year. I waited to write this review to make sure he was the real deal. This guy has serious massage skills. He incorporates all the elements we all desire throughout the massage. His pressure, his touch, his attention to detail, left my entire body in a state of complete relaxation. He is warm, kind and a genuine man. 5 stars is not nearly enough. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Thank you Mark! You know I'll be back.

Feb. 17, 2020 in Los Angeles, CA (in-studio)

Do you have a bud you don’t keep in super close touch with but every time you see him and it’s super massage and feels great to hang out again? That’s Mark.

I’ve had several appointments with him and each time it’s better than before. Mark is friendly, kind and has a killer smile. He has an amazing combination of intuition, strength and technique for his craft.

The oil, lotion and scrub products he uses are great. His location is easy to get to, discreet and comfortable.

When ‘Rona is under control, he’ll be the first person I make an appointment to see again. Thanks Mark!

Dec. 18, 2019 in North Hollywood, CA (in-studio)

I had my first appointment with Mark. He was easy to book with and answered all my questions before we met. He welcomed me to his Studio with open arms. His studio was clean, well equipped, and candle lit ambience that set the tone for a mind and body altering massage. All my aches and pains have vanished and I was left in a euphoric state at the end.
Book Mark, you won’t be disappointed.

Nov. 29, 2019 in North Hollywood, CA (in-studio)

I've been getting massages for many years both in spas and privately. Rarely have I had an experience as amazing as my massage with Mark. From the first communication to the last hug goodbye I felt his warmth and sincerity. His studio is welcoming with every detail handled to make me comfortable. Mark has a style that flows so smoothly and is unhurried that I couldn't help but just sink into it and relax. He seemed to know exactly where my body needed attention without me saying a word. I can't think of one negative from my massage other than me feeling a little guilty for not paying him a lot more money!

May 16, 2019 in North Hollywood, CA (in-studio)

I have been a client of Mark for a number of years. And each massage appointment gets better and better. His skill and professionalism is second to none. He ask questions about areas of concern before each massage, and is an excellent listener.
He keeps himself well versed in various techniques, stretching, with care for the anatomy.
His studio is very comfortable and he offers water, and access to a private shower afterwards.

Nov. 15, 2017 in Los Angeles, CA (in-studio)

Mark has a very warm and relaxed set up. He is an absolute professional who provided me with one of the best and most unique massages i have ever had. I plan to see him again in the future when i come back to LA. I would highly recomend him to anyone.

May 09, 2017 in North Hollywood, CA (in-studio)

5 stars aren't enough. Mark is worth going out of your way to get a massage and he's worth paying the extra money to have him come to you. 24 hours later I feel like he is still digging into my muscles. If I didn't have to fly out of LA today I might have scheduled another appointment. Getting back to LA won't come soon enough.

Jan. 26, 2017 in Los Angeles, CA (in-studio)

Mark delivered an awesome massage from start to finish. His technique is skilled, experienced and nurturing. The pressure, strokes and pace was perfect. I highly recommend without question.

Jan. 19, 2017 in Monterey, CA (in-studio)

There’s nothing robotic or mechanical about Mark. He was one of the most personable masseurs I’ve ever met. Chatting with Mark before (and after) the massage was a complete pleasure. And he was incredibly well prepared for the massage itself; superb pressure, a variety of scents, candles and all else that goes with it. Mark stands out most because he’s genuinely nice, respectful, welcoming and he’s a true professional. Can’t wait to see him again.

Jan. 20, 2017 in Monterey, CA (in-studio)

An excellent massage from beginning to end. Mark clearly knows what he's doing and was very responsive to my needs and really helped with the trouble spots with his strong hands. Highly recommend him to all.
