About Me

Mark Hayward MA59286
License Massage Therapist
Certified Health Coach and Nutritional Therapist
Certified Personal Trainer
Certified Functional Trainer
Qigong & Meditation Coach

I have been working as a Massage Therapist since 2010, with certifications in Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular, and Swedish therapies.

The work has been most rewarding, and life changing. Assisting others with their transformation to that of better well-being, ignites a spark in most Massage Therapists, that makes us really love our jobs. It fuels us to continuously learn and expand our craft. We strive to provide our clients with a truly holistic approach to Health and Wellness. It becomes a passion.

The first 5 yrs of my practice consisted mostly of working in a clinical setting with Chiropractors and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Therefore I specialize in Medical Massage with a concentration on Myofascial Release. I also work with athletes of various levels, providing customized maintenance, and performance enhancement massage and training services. Along with my medical experience, I have always maintained Spa work, in order to provide balance to my technique. Deep tissue therapy, delivered in a relaxing manner is my modus operandi. I am also in training with the Upledger Institute International, and have completed Level 1 – Craniosacral Therapy.

Most of my sessions consist of multiple modalities, in the attempt to adhere to my clients’ present wants and needs. Understanding the patterns of Healing, I know the importance of approaching each client as an individual, and connecting with them vibrationally. Therefore, all of their sessions are extremely customized.

This is especially true with my Strength and Conditioning classes, where I provide specific corrective exercises to address chronic musculoskeletal imbalances. I have also developed the Foundation Fitness Program, which consists of 3 phases, beginning with Deep Core Activation. It is a precise sequence of building blocks, rooted in the development of postural integrity and mind-body connection.

As a Health Coach and Nutritional Therapist, I help guide clients through the barrage of health information available today, in order to make safe and healthy choices. I also coach them through their own process of creating a plan towards wellness.

I have been practicing Qigong and Meditation for over two decades. It has provided me with tremendous personal health benefits, and adds immense value to my massage therapy work. I am very pleased to be offering private, and group instructions in this profoundly healing art. My training comes from authentic Chinese lineage dating back twenty-seven generations. The forms I pass on have been specifically designed to develop balance, coordination, and removal of energy blockage. These sessions provide guidance and support for an on-going, qigong and meditation practice.

My offering is assistance with creating a lifestyle of Well-Being.
