Tony Talks

I meet Mark Bentz at GYLS 2018 through The Tony Robbins Foundation. He is passionate about Blind Ice Hockey in hopes of putting Blind Ice Hockey in the Paralympics. During the third year of studying Human Kinetics at the University of British Columbia, Mark was introduced to massage therapy. Having only two percent of his vision left due to a progressive retinal degenerative condition, he felt being a Massage Therapist would allow him to provide the best service to society. Having weakness in one sense allows the brain to provide more power to other senses, for example touch and intuition. This is a great advantage that allows Mark to function at a heightened state of awareness when treating the body. Combining this with his knowledge of human movement patterns makes for a unique and powerful massage therapy experience. Mark is joined by his seeing-eye dog Mindy. Mindy is a Black Labrador/Retriever. Clients love to see the 90 pound bundle of love and joy when they come into the clinic. She provides all the do
