“Hi Mark,

Just wanted to send you a little update.  X. has continued to do extremely well since our last visit with you.  He's had a bowel movement every day, he's sitting up even better than before, grabbing both feet with his hands and is rolling over!  Thank you so much for all your help!  We are coming in for a follow up in a couple weeks.  Looking forward to it!

See you soon,”

“Dear Mark Levine,

 With the hectic life of a mom to a "reluctant to nurse" newborn and two young kids at home, I never found the opportunity to thank you.  I came to your clinic with a five weeks old baby who couldn't/ wouldn't nurse and therefore was fed from bottles almost exclusively.  And today I have a 3 months old baby who is breastfed exclusively.  Everyone asks me how I did it and what made the change and I give you all the credit. It was like a magic, but I left your clinic determined to succeed and since that day O's feeding is so much easier and fun as it should be.

Thanks again,”

“On the way home today I asked E. if he could tell me how he feels different after being at "Mark's Office", and he said, and I quote, "I don't really feel different, my whole body just feels better".  E., age 5

Thank you so very much Mark.”

J.

“Thank you Mark,

You are very kind and truly have a gift of making people feel better inside and out.”

“I wanted to let you know that we immediately saw results with N. since his visit with you.  We have swing sets in our back yard that N. has never swung on (except laid on his belly and dangled). He has extreme fear of swings or rides that go off the ground.  Even sitting securely on our laps he will not swing he screams and cries to get off. Panic attack every time.  The day after we saw you he was playing with his sisters and one said, this is our boat and the swings are the motor so everyone swing.  N. walked over and went to lie on his belly but instead sat on the swing and swung as high as he could. The whole family stood in awe, I cried and when I looked at M., he was crying too.  N. swung for over half an hour then JUMPED off and walked away.  This kid doesn't jump down off anything, He is too afraid.  N. goes to the swing set every day and pumps himself as high as he can.”

 THANK YOU!!!

We will see you Friday.

“I have to share a little vignette about C. I had one of my migraines yesterday and he offered to help me imitating your style of treatment.  It was so precious.  He  g e n t l y  ever so, pulled both of my ears, laid his hands on my upper upper chest..worked with my feet.  Just like you.  “There mum, he murmed quietly that will help you feel better”  It was one of those golden moments in life.

Take care and thank you”

“I had been trying to get my neighbour that lived across the street  

from me in R.H. to come see you for the last year.  Had sent her your  

links a few times and emailings just in case that would inspire.  I just heard from her that she finally went to see you and she said you are amazing! She said that you hit on so many things that now make sense to her and she thinks the sessions are making a big difference.  Her name is D.J.  She also said that you knew right away what some issues with her daughter K. and son S. were all about. She is very impressed.  I'm so glad she finally went, I know you can help her and her family.”

“T. was born with a substantial amount of asymmetry very apparent in

her face but also present throughout her body. After being referred to Mark by the the hospital, we booked an appointment but were skeptical at first. We noticed an immediate difference in her mood and eating habits after the sessions with Mark. We have noticed a continuing improvement with each session with her eating, sleeping and posture.”

A. & C. R.

“B. is doing better!!! We say he's a "new" man......he is now content by himself for longer periods of time without the crying and fussing......and yes, I slept today when he slept.....:)

Thanks!”

“My husband and I had been to your clinic twice with our newborn son R. for the CranioSacral therapy sessions. I am so glad to tell you that R.’s sucking improved a lot after the second session. I was able to latch him on to the breast (with a nipple shield though) and he sucks really well and has being doing so since the past 3 weeks. He has gained weight consistently and wets enough number of diapers in a day and hence I know that he is getting enough food at the breast. He is being exclusively breastfed and I truly believe that it was only possible after your therapy. Me and my husband are extremely thankful to you for all the help. The work you did on me was very relaxing and I enjoyed every second of it. 

Thanks again!”

T. S. 

“I wanted to let you know that S. is doing just fabulously, using both sides of her neck very well.  I wanted to thank you so much for your help! It was wonderful to have her treated by such a caring, gentle and warm therapist!  We really enjoyed our visits to your office.

 I'm sure we'll see you again someday!

Warmly,”J.S.

“My neck is still stiff, but my headache is gone and the cough doesn’t cause the head to pound.  Last night was the first lying flat all night sleep in two weeks, no coughing attacks.  No wonder, I was able to get a whole bunch of work done today and stay alert.

Thanks again for seeing me, I know it helped.”

"It is like the feeling of 10 yoga sessions all in 1. Very peaceful."

“Dearest Mark

Your wonderfully kind gesture to help R. this past weekend was deeply 

appreciated by us - due to your wonderful healing hands, he is back to normal and ready to face the long flight to New Zealand.

What a relief!!!

Much love and deep gratitude”

N. and R.H.

“Hi Mark,

Just to let you know that the muzziness that I felt at the end of our session soon dissipated after I left your place.  I feel a lot better and I'm sure that the healing work that you did helped to unwind the kinks that I must have developed in my fall on Wednesday.  I also neglected to mention that my headaches have also decreased in frequency over the last few months and sometimes, when threatening to begin, often don't develop into anything.  So, thanks!!   Shall see you in a few weeks.”  E.A.

“Hi Mark,

Thank you for a great session this afternoon.  My sinuses are feeling much

much better - like everything is starting to `release`... And thank you for

reminding me of the mind-body connection. I seemed to have lost that

connection recently.  Ironically, I feel more and more ready for birth

following the session I had with you ! (and the ones with C. too).

I will be back in touch after our baby is born.

Take good care.

à bientôt,”

“I call Mark Levine "the sleep doctor" because every baby that I recommend to him is able to sleep for longer periods and more soundly as a result of the gentle methods that Mark employs.  His hands-on healing relaxes babies, children and adults alike often with only one appointment.  In terms of my own family, Mark helped my husband recover from a concussion and helped me eliminate the pain I experienced after childbirth when my uterus had shifted.  Both my girls had major falls but were able to leave Mark's office singing, obviously feeling so much better as a result of his work!  My youngest had parasites that were agitating her to such a degree that she was ripping her hair out and again, Mark was our saviour; with only one appointment, she had stopped even touching her hair!  Mark isn't just a remarkable healer though - he regularly shares his knowledge about the world and the excellent resources he's discovered with whoever he feels can benefit.  I cannot say enough about the difference Mark has made to the lives of my family members and the clients I have recommended to him.  Mark has truly made his mark on our lives!”

M.D.

“That was a great treatment yesterday! I came home and I was walking normally for a while.  I was so happy.  I was also very emotional.  This morning I would cry for no reason and have the runs.  WOW I'm impressed, things are shifting.  I must get back for another session.  See you soon.” 

A.C.

“Mark,

 I just wanted to say that today's session was a good first session.  Even though E. "Stressed", you could actually perform some therapy on her.  She just loves her purple balloon.

 I also want to tell you that she had a "huge" bowel movement tonight.  She even asked to go on the potty and did not stress out that we were going there.  When on it she did not cry, I read her a book and then whoosh.  She usually has to really strain and gets very upset when it is over.  This time she did not cry and clapped.

Thanks again,”

“Hello, Mark. I would like to thank you so much for help me with a pain in my neck. Recently I found I have dislocated cervical disk at left side of my neck and I have to do some other treatment, because the pain is not going away. I still do not know if it is going to be sucsessful but I have to try. It was a pleasure to take your treatment and for couple days it was a big relief. Maybe I will visit your office again. You are awesome doctor and I like  the idea of your treatment, it was different. Thanks again.”

“Hi Mark:

My name is J. M., my step-dad - K.M. was in to see you last week. I just wanted to send you an email to say Thank-you!   My mom and I are very close and she has passed on some information to me that K. shared with her regarding his visit with you. K. has been struggling for a very very very long time - our family doesn't have very good communication with each other for a lot of reasons. We have all been acting as though nothing is wrong. When I found out from my Mom that K. was going to see you, I was hopeful and worried. Only worried that his experience might turn him off yet another doctor/physician. You don't know how happy I was to hear that K. enjoyed his visit to you and that he felt comfortable and able to talk with you. My Mom told me that you told K. something along the lines that his pain could be caused from a 'broken heart' - I think this could very well be it. L.'s death has been hard on our entire family, a struggle for the last 10 years to say the least. B.'s birth was a miracle and I believed saved our family from falling apart. We - all the children, want K. to get better and really, to be himself again - I think to be the man, dad, friend, husband he was before L.'s death. I know a lot of people can lose hope in situations like this but I believe anything is possible.

Thank-you for telling K. something I or any of his kids, couldn't build up the courage to do. My fingers are crossed he will finally begin to heal ...

Thank-you so much,

Sincerely,

J.M.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Thank you for finding the ever so challenging balance between book smarts and energetic awareness; creating a space that is both physical, spiritually and mentally healing; and lastly for all of your extra time, my tears and the many "ouches"...and there were plenty of all three.

I have been to countless people and for the first time I felt not only respect and faith in your knowledge of the body, but also felt your connection to the unknown.  With the combination of this, I was able to find the safety I needed to truly let my shoulders down.  And in case you don't already know this, that is something rare for me.”

Hi Mark:

It was so good to reconnect with myself today, and I am as ever, grateful for the connections you help to make possible.  I have been ill, and it has been a few weeks since I have been to the office, so it was a special treat to find the process/path easy and familiar. It was unusually restful, and I was more aware of the rhythm than usual.  I could feel when it all stopped and it was so quiet and so spectacular at the same time!

I am especially appreciative of the modeling you do of unconditional acceptance and love.  Your comments, and your openness to my various "vices" is helpful.  I know you don't have to live with me and I know you are the "paid professional", but the gentleness and overwhelming kindness is really like having "God" love me  and the questions you ask (even rhetorically) open up the possibility of me allowing myself to feel loved.

Several times I felt such pure abandon and openness of spirit and body that I felt like a new me, with all new possibilities of relating, being. 

While I am still, at times, rushing and trying hard to "make things happen", I have a new grace and patience about the process, the journey...

As I read this back to myself, I realize there are few words that adequately describe my experiences...I really am beginning to embrace the concept of actively doing nothing.

Today I saw the "path" or the process more clinically than I have in the past.  In some ways it was becoming familiar (although the "rush"/speed of feeling connected bottom to top was a little freaky today), and when odd things happen I really appreciate the freedom/safety to be able to discuss it.

I still go for chiropractic adjustments, massages and reflexology from time to time, but they seem like "things I need to do to keep my body in good order".  My work with you is a pure gift to me.

Thanks very much.”
