"I’ve been a regular client of Mark’s for several years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Not only has he helped me with various issues from migraines to chronic lower back pain, but my son also sees him for sports-related therapy. Mark is constantly learning new techniques and modalities to address each unique concern, always staying ahead of the"

"I’ve seen Mark several times, but recently tried his lymphatic drainage technique for the firm time and can’t say enough positive things about the effects. If you feel sluggish and need a boost – I highly recommend this technique specifically. Despite the light physical impact on the body, it’s an extremely invigorating massage and left me energized and much less"
Andrea Z.
"Mark has a rare gift and offers a tremendous service. After 25 years of full time soccer, plus a large amount of long distance travel, my body often feels the toll. Mark was able to support me to release stress, pressure and pain from my body, leaving me feel relaxed, grateful and inspired!"
Maitreya S.
"I just recently learned about Mark and have been to him twice now, both times leaving completely relaxed and comfortable, feeling so much lighter and looser in my body. He is so talented and very, very knowledgeable. The office is immaculate, the hydraulic massage table is worth the cost of the massage, it’s so comfortable and therapeutic. I cannot recommend"
Stefani S.
"I chose Dharma Massage and Wellness from reading reviews, so I wanted to include one of my own. I needed more than a typical massage. I have chronic pain in my upper trapezius muscle, as well as a significant amount of muscle tension in my neck and wanted to find someone that would help me heal. Dharma Massage lives up"

"I visited Mark last weekend. I have never done body work before, but had a great experience. When I sat down at my desk Monday morning my lower back felt MUCH better. Thank you Mark!"
Matthew R.
"I found Mark through a coworker and wow – what a blessing! He is attentive, knowledgable and dedicated to creating the mind-body connection to enhance results and help you learn more about your body. 10/10 recommend! I leave feeling lighter and always looking forward to the next session. Thanks Mark!"

"Absolutely amazing, Dharma’s atmosphere, is calm and relaxing, clean , professional, with positive energy! I have known Lisa Labozza, a Reiki master for years, Lisa has such a gift, I tell people, Reiki is a massage with your clothes on, with intuitive messages. Lisa is now practicing at Dharma and she introduced me to Mark. Mark, gives an amazing massage!"

"I arrived from a long flight- stiff and sore all over. My session with Mark was incredible, including stretching as well as massage- old injuries and new were settled. I highly recommend Mark and Dharma for an amazing holistic experience."
Sioux B.
"I recently started visiting Mark and cannot recommend him enough. I’ve had a few massages throughout my life but never felt completely comfortable with them. I am almost two years postpartum and decided I needed help with my neck and back pain. Mark is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and met me where I was at. I wish I visited him sooner!"
Sarah G.
"I was in so much pain, barely slept all night. My back locked up, could barely walk or get in my car to drive to Mark. I was able to walk and climb up into my Jeep minutes after my massage ended. I highly recommend Mark, his knowledge and massage expertise is above and beyond. This is undoubtedly one of"
Sandy S.
"Mark truly does a great job. As someone who works in the medical field, I enjoy working with someone who is very knowledgeable and loves the human body as much as I do. He is very considerate, frequently checking in on pain/pressure levels, making sure to optimize the client experience. Highly recommend!"

Retreat Testimonials
I had the privilege this past weekend of attending the Dharma retreat lead by Susan and Mark. Their retreat, offered a harmonious blend of meditation and spiritual teaching that helped me reconnect with myself on a profound level.
What truly sets this retreat apart is Susan and Mark’s extraordinary ability to guide people toward discovering their true purpose in life. Their wisdom, warmth, and intuitive understanding created a space where everyone felt seen, supported, and inspired.
If you're searching for clarity, inner peace, or a deeper sense of direction, I wholeheartedly recommend attending one of their retreats. It’s not just a getaway—it’s a life-changing journey.
Warmly,
Kerry Wood
