Testimonials:

"I wrote a review many years ago that praised Richard for his talent, as he was the first therapist in my lifetime to effectively relieve tension that I had for years in my upper back. His intuitive massage (true to his brand) did in one session, what was not accomplished in years of many others. I had numerous “massages” over the years where you would feel good in the moment and immediately after, with no lasting effects. My shoulders literally dropped and remained in a significantly more relaxed state that changed my body and mood.

Fast forward many years, I had a terrible injury and fractured my radial head and neck (basically my elbow and its ability to rotate). I had massive swelling that had not subsided roughly 3 months later. I had been using hot and cold compresses, going to physical therapy, taking supplements, basically everything I could to promote the healing and reduce swelling. I had Rich come over, to experience much needed relief all around. He worked on my arm a portion of the time, pushing some limitations I had, but remaining gentle. At the end I sat up and literally ALL of the swelling was gone. Just another massage with Richard!

From that day I stopped going to physical therapy (very expensive despite having insurance) and continued to work on my arm strength training, while having Rich once a week. He helped me so much and I know it would have taken much longer to recover without having had him work on me. As always, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a true massage therapist." ~ Sasha Naimi

"I have always carried my stress in my upper back. It had become something I became used to and just dealt with. Having had many massages in the past, I found they always provided relief during the session with no lasting effects. I enjoy a heavy massage, and was always given that on request. I requested the same from Richard on our first appointment. I recall he suggested something lighter to start as he felt that was what would work best to warm me up. I was honestly irritated halfway through as it did not feel effective. At a certain point, he went in heavier, and my entire upper back gave a release that I could feel and hear. There is no proper way to describe it other than finding "the one"! Looking back, I wasted time and money on those who were only providing relief for an hour session with no knowledge or desire to really help me. I had only had massages but finally found a true massage therapist!" ~ Sasha Naimi

"My husband I both have had massages from Rich. My husband, being quite the athlete needs special attention and Rich has always been great at working out his problem areas. Me, I just want a relaxing massage and that is exactly what I get. EXTRAS - the heated table and his great music mix. Lay back and enjoy!!" ~ Libby and Jay Lorenzo

"There are no better words to describe the power of Richard's healing touch than, "magic hands." I have been receiving massages from him for the last two years and the results are life changing. He has the right balance of warmth, sincerity, and professionalism that I look for and I hope we will always live close to one another." ~ Content and aligned, Mara Degenhardt

"As a licensed massage therapist for 16 years, I'm not easily impressed when I get a massage. However, Richard has mastered several techniques which combine to produce an excellent massage! His deep pressure eases the kinks out of muscles, hitting just the right spots each time. A variety of helpful stretches release tensions and feels better than when I do it myself! Richard’s training and experience always result in overall relief and that much desired massage trance-state of bliss and well-being! I’m glad he can still fit me into his busy schedule on a regular basis! Highly recommended!" ~ John Russell

"I am the sort of person who holds everyday stresses in my body, and I have been trying to make massage therapy a regular part of my wellness routine. When I met Richard, I knew my search was over. From the very first communication we had via email, I could tell he was professional, caring, warm, inviting and completely non-pretentious.

My first impression was further reinforced when I went for my first massage. Richard takes great care in setting up the environment for a totally relaxing experience. He has a beautiful apartment where the massage room is surrounded by glass doors with an amazing bay front view. The room is also arranged with relaxing music and dozens of candles which help convey a welcoming atmosphere. The massage table is comfortable and best of all heated (no more cold toes)! Access to the apartment is also easy, with convenient and inexpensive parking less than half a block away.

The massage experience was amazing and very intense. I love deep tissue massage and Richard was able to deliver an amazing amount of pressure along with excellent technique. He took the time to warm up all my muscles with light massage before delving into the deep massage. With the deep massage he was able to target to all the appropriate parts in my body where I held stress…it was like he had a knot radar.

All in all the whole experience with Richard was 10 out of 10. I would recommend him to any of my friends without a moment’s hesitation. I look forward to making Richard part of my monthly wellness routine." ~ John Alzate
