About Mark
Mark Okita is a born energy healer. His diverse life experiences have further expanded and refined those gifts. He trained for many years in the martial arts with an emphasis on meditation and cultivation of internal energy. Mark loves nature and some of his wilderness experiences include participating in a 30-day mountaineering expedition in the remote Chugach Range of Alaska, including a First Ascent, completing an Outward Bound course in Colorado, working and backpacking in Denali National park, completing outdoor studies at Prescott College in Arizona, completing Roughwater Swims and being an avid hiker of Hawaii's breathtaking trails. He has also traveled deep into the Amazon to train with local shaman.
His work experience has included being an Outreach Worker, a Case Manager for the Life Foundation (the AIDS foundation on Oahu), a Medical Office Assistant for a physician in San Francisco, enrolling patients in clinical studies at the height of the AIDS epidemic in 1989 and a Epidemiological Specialist for the State of Hawaii administering anonymous HIV Testing and Counseling.
Mark was strongly guided to begin doing healing work in a deeper more focused way, so he began going to night school at an AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) accredited school which included training in Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, Swedish, Pregnancy and Sports Massage, Applied Kinesiology, Anatomy and Physiology and Craniosacral Therapy. After getting his massage therapy license he went on to receive Advanced training in Craniosacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute. (For more information about Craniosacral Therapy and the Upledger Institute go to www.upledger.com.) He presented at the Craniosacral Therapy Symposium in Vancouver in the mid-90's and was also a Craniosacral Therapy Teaching Assistant. He also has training in Visceral Manipulation and is a Certified Reiki Master.
He has participated in numerous group and solitary retreats pertaining to awakening human consciousness, including a 8-year Self-directed retreat. Ultimately, this culminated in a surrendering of his ego to the Divine so that all of his healing gifts and diverse life experiences are now in service of a more Pure, Intelligent and Loving Energy. Mark has been a healer on a professional level since 1993 and has been doing specifically Energy Work for the past 20 years. All of this experience has cultivated a high level of clarity and proficiency in being a conduit for Divine Healing. His specialty now is distance healing and telephone sessions.
