“RESULTS let you know when you have been to the BEST! DIANE IS THE BEST! She really cares about her clients. Her technique is like none I have experienced. She is the real deal! Thank you Diane!“

“I’ve worked with many, many massage therapists over the years and I say without hesitation that Mark Williams is the very best practitioner I’ve met.

I first met Mark a few years ago, shortly after I was (finally) accurately diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that had caused me many years of unrelenting pain and taken away my ability to live and function. For example, I had become unable to drive due to neck pain too severe for me to turn to check my blind spot, and I had lost my ability to do tasks that required bending or reaching, such as grocery shopping or household chores. Having only turned 50, my outlook was bleak and it was difficult to find optimism.

While I had previous, positive experiences with massage therapy for relaxation and stress management, I needed a practitioner who could employ more advanced bodywork techniques to address my complicated chronic condition. Each session, Mark conducts a thorough inquiry and understands how I’m feeling, how my medications are working, and what activities I hope to accomplish in the coming days. Then, he gets to work. And I do mean WORK. Mark’s practice is informed by his impressive knowledge of musculoskeletal physiology and experience with different needs ranging from athletes to “regular people who use their bodies” and people like me with chronic pain conditions. His confidence is reassuring and he never misses — he somehow knows precisely where to work to alleviate whatever pain I have at that time. He also gives me a thorough debrief after each session. Most people probably don’t require this level of care, but understanding where Mark found problems to solve during our session helps me be more aware of my activities and movements between sessions that might exacerbate pain.

In concert with medications, lifestyle adjustments, modifications to my exercise routines, and my rheumatologist’s guidance, massage therapy helps me maintain my independence and manage the pain of my condition. It is not hyperbole to say that regular sessions with Mark give me new hope and optimism. The care I need is advanced, and he’s good for it, but he’s equally able to serve my family—athletes, dancers, and regular people who just use their bodies and need a more “general” bodywork experience.“

“Absolutely divine and straight to-the-point customer service. Was taken care of luxuriously and the inside is gorgeous.“
