Summer isn't over. More dates/events as time allows. If you would like Mark to visit your area, contact him at the e-mail address below.
Snow winter months Mark can be found in his home base, the winter wonderland of Sun Valley (Hailey), Idaho. Visit the Sun Valley website and you won’t wonder why he calls Idaho home with his wife, Penny and four cats, Mr. Monster, Tazza, Marco and Rusty.
Mark specializes in pain reduction, often within the first 15-30 minute session using a few drugless, non-toxic healing systems which work in a symbiotic way around my base therapy, clinical reflexology. This however only shows your condition can be affected by reflexology and/or the other drugless, non-toxic therapies employeed. Often more sessions are needed to fully address the problem. Your reflexes tell you (us) when you are done (more on that later).
The Therapies. Vibroacoustic Reflexology.
I am a reflexologist which is the service I provide for the fee you pay me. I specialize in clinical reflexology. I always work within my clients comfort zone, but there is purpose behind my actions rather than providing you with a nice foot massage. They are two different animals as proven through clinical trials (simple massage is used to measure baseline improvement).
Your success is my success and for this reason, I try and stack the deck in your favor by using other symbiotic drugless therapies whose downside if they don’t work is… they don’t work. No toxic side effects. They simply don’t work and these drugless modalities all can be, and have been, used safely in conjunction with medical drug intervention documented in the past century. As far as I’m concerned, therapeutically effective stimulation of the whole being with hand, ear and foot reflexology is the reason for my clients success and the reason medical centers and research studies list such a diverse range of conditions improved by, in most cases referenced, simply foot reflexology.
Symbiotic Systems Vibroacoustic Reflexology
is a blending of these drugless modalities.

However, I’m a results junkie. My specialty is hand, ear and foot reflexology which I feel helps to insure I can produce similar results as those reported by medical centers and research studies using foot reflexology alone.
My seven years of experience, training from the worlds foremost experts and continuing education is what gives me the confidence to help those with all kinds of pain conditions, without drugs and harmful side effects find relief. My Mom, in the pain phase, just prior to her death from lung cancer, asked me to help her with her pain so I know without fail from her asking for help, the research studies are correct, reflexology is effective for pain relief.
Most people discover reflexology out of desperation or through word of mouth by friends who see their friends in desperation. Many have tried everything, but nothing really helps their condition. That’s about the time my clients usually walk into my office, beaten down by their condition, but not beaten and still seeking a solution.
The sad part is I also am unable to help some who are seeking help. I see miracles all the time, but not everyone gets a miracle or gets help for the specific condition they came to see me for. Results are what matters and results which encourage hope are known very early on (15 minutes to ten half hour sessions). I won’t continue to encourage you to continue spending your money on my services when you are not improving AND your reflexes say I can do no more to help this specific reason you came to see me.
Your reflexes tell us when you reach that point.
A reflexologist should be able to work your reflexes as hard as he/she wants and you are in bliss. Really enjoying the session. That is our objective and the condition we wish to maintain once you reach that point. The point is called “homeostasis”, where your body is working as an integrated, balanced, symbiotic system. That is, working “AS BEST AS IT CAN BE” under present circumstances what ever those circumstances could be. Sometimes age is implicated in health conditions and reaching a state “as best as it can be” is a good state to be in.
As I work toward our goal during the session, I always work within your comfort level because of “hot spots (reflexes)” which get your attention instantly and grinding hard on the painful reflex does nothing to help with your stress relief and relaxation which is a goal of the session.
When I encounter “hot spots”, my job is to work them out, within your comfort level, thereby improving circulation, nerve impulses and energy to the corresponding reflex area in your body. When the “hot spot” is gone, reflexology theory considers that area “balanced” and most often, you have the relief you seek. This is why I should be able to work you as hard as I want/need (but always within your comfort zone). This tells both of us you are in balance with yourself and my job is no longer health repair, but instead helping you stay at “homeostasis” with once in a while tune ups when you think you need it.
As I said, I’m a results junky. I really enjoy seeing my clients regain hope and then regain their health and lives so I stack the deck in my clients favor by adding complementary modalities to my reflexology base modality.
For example, the primary benefit of reflexology is systemic stress relief and relaxation which is well documented by major medical centers and research studies. That is my job and I am well trained by the world’s foremost experts to apply techniques found to be effective in doing so which also helps to reduce pain and suffering.
Now you have a choice to add “Vibroacoustic music/sound therapy” to your session which is also well documented to provide major stress relief and relaxation without drugs or harmful side effects. Now, two therapies are being used to help you at the same time which complement each other in producing systemic stress relief and relaxation through your body.
But that isn’t all these two therapies have in common. Modern reflexology was created/invented by American doctors as a drugless means of addressing pain and other physical problems. According to the National Institutes of Health, vibroacoustic music/sound therapy helps to reduce pain and suffering as well.
“Vibroacoustic music/sound therapy” works in the same way as reflexology. The “relaxation response” created by both opens the door to many other benefits including lower blood pressure and stress, better sleep and improving a host of other health conditions medical centers say can be helped which is listed on my “Health Benefits“ page.
These vibroacoustic lounges I showcase and distribute offer those with long term chronic pain a new drugless option for pain and stress relief which has been used in major institutes and medical centers for over 25 years. Now that the price is within reason, many more people can help themselves with their own vibroacoustic lounge. When you experience vibroacoustic therapy yourself you’ll understand how this can be so effective in providing relaxation and stress relief.
In appointments in my office, I also add the frequencies of color therapy as more nothing ventured, nothing gained, drugless, non-toxic, you can’t overdose, if you don’t need the color it simply doesn’t work stacking of the deck to hopefully benefit to my clients. Again, no downside other than they may not work. Three drugless therapies are now combined to create a symbiotic healing environment to help you improve your health.
My intention is to help you recover your health as quickly as possible and if you come in on a regular basis until your reflexes are no longer painful, I am convinced you will note the improvement in your overall health yourself.
Do you like lavender? In small amounts it helps you relax. I like lavender in small amounts in my office most of the time with the objective of adding just one more component to help you recover your health by easing your stress.
This is how I stay in business. Your success is my success. The sooner you see improvement in your own condition, the sooner you tell others I may be able to help them too.
If you are wondering if reflexology can help you or not and are in pain. Don’t wonder anymore. Just come see me as most experience some measure, and often, total joint pain relief within 30 minutes. Will it hold? Everyone is different. More than one client from out of town with pain down their leg for ten or more years have seen years of relief from a 15 minute session at a farmers market or craft show. Others take longer. Again, more work needs to be done until the reflexes tell us they are done as per above. I can't be self serving. The reflexes tell us of your progress.
Look at all the pain inducing conditions medical centers say are helped by reflexology. Headaches, back aches, joint pain, arthritis, this that and more. Girls who suffer during that time of the month, don’t delay. It is my experience that the medical centers AND research studies are so correct when they say reflexology can help you during this time.
If you are wondering if reflexology can help you or not, see what major medical centers and research studies say reflexology can help on my health benefits page and if your condition is listed, please come see me as there is a very good chance I can help you.
If you are wondering if reflexology can help you or not and your condition is not listed, invest in a 60 minute session in my office or during one of my stops around Idaho and see what happens.
This hour gives me plenty of time to try and help you and hopefully you’ll see a positive result. If not that day then in the weeks to come as once a reflexologist opens even a tiny opening in the dam (blockage) (hot spot) your body works for us and the opening gets a little larger over time as blood forces its way thru the opening like a crack in a dam.
This is a basic principal of reflexology. The importance of a number of short sessions in a short time is that each session helps the blood make a bigger opening in the dam (blockage) and when the pain goes away, the dam (blockage) has been washed away and the “hot spot” goes away too taking the concern with it. Weekly sessions are helpful, but three sessions in a week will often produce faster results.
For conditions not listed by medical centers, your proof will be in the puddin’ or not. The good news is other conditions may improve as a result of the session and there is no down side as everyone could use a full body tune up and stress relief which is a by-product of every reflexology session. Your investment in your health will remain an investment in your health even if the reason for seeing me was not helped as much as we would like.
Please take a look at other pages on this site especially the “Health Benefits” page. Medical centers are qualified to say what conditions are helped by reflexology so I‘ve listed their comments on this page. The National Institutes of Health are qualified to say what conditions are helped by vibroacoustic sound/music therapy. I’m not a doctor and am not qualified to say reflexology is good for this or that condition or not. I work without diagnosis, without drugs and am not trained/qualified to tell you why your shoulder, back, neck, knee is in pain, that is your doctors job as he/she is qualified to do so. To a reflexologist you say it hurts here and we know what to do through our training regardless of what the muscle, bone or condition name is. Results will speak or not speak for themselves.
I’d say my two main therapies are in tune on a number of conditions and ready to help you. Add in color therapy as a bonus and I may just brighten your day, but it‘s up to you to make an appointment and walk through my door. You must take the first step to help yourself. Please see my mobile clinic schedule (should be up soon) and then call 208-788-2012 for an appointment. I am usually at home base during the Week. Office hours are 3-7 p.m. Monday to Thursday

For those who want to combine a vacation in world famous Sun Valley, Idaho with healing, I work with two hotels very near my offices who offer my clients extraordinary weekly rates because they too are clients who want the best for our mutual clients. If you are interested, please inquire.
With reflexology, all conditions listed by medical centers are
improved at the same time and all at the same cost.
Now that’s cost effective health care reform!
