Tell Richard what you think!
"I can tell you that many a New York spa would have a hard time topping the overall experience you offer. It just seems that while sparing no expense in providing the most relaxing yet invigorating massage possible you also bring an education and understanding of the body which helps to facilitate actual healing once the massage is over. It's also nice to know that in a city where ridiculously over priced spas rule, and more times than not give mediocre to average service, you can be reached (and sometimes with very little notice) and I can be assured a premiere spa-like experience with no worry as to the quality of service I will be provided."
"Professional. Intelligent. Very well trained. I tried the "Fit Massage" Rich offers. It begins with a 50 minute workout with the "Kettle Bells" (ask him about this) and is followed by a wonderful massage that includes stretching. PERFECT way to exercise. And even though I haven't exercised in a long time (I'm a wuss) Rich stayed patient and friendly with all my questions. And the day after - I felt great. This is a wonderful idea to combine this style of workout with a massage. I am a certified massage therapist in PA - and I will recommend Rich to everyone I know in NYC."
"When I first met Richard, I was having a lot of trouble in my back and shoulders. I was traveling a lot, both domestically and globally, so I was living on planes and in hotels. My first few sessions with him were incredibly therapeutic and really helped me manage between my time in the air and time on the ground. When Richard told me about the Kettlebell training and fit massage he was offering, I was really eager to try it. I'd heard about Kettlebell training from a friend of mine in Europe, and how incredible his results were - the sort of results that tool less time with this type of training versus just going to the gym. My first Kettlebell training was really intense - I have had personal trainers in the past, but Rich's technique was really focused and guided. Although we only trained for 50 minutes, I felt like it was longer, because Kettlebell training combines strength training with cardio, you really feel the burn. After my training session, I had one of Rich's Fit massages which was both relaxing and invigorating. He combines soothing deep tissue massage with
energizing and restorative strokes. Rich is a highly trained professional. I really
appreciate his attitude, focus and intuition, both with his training and his massage technique. I've been a client of Rich's for about a year now, and plan on being a client for a very long time. If you are looking for the best bodywork in New York
City, you have to call Rich!"
"By far the best massage I have ever had. I've been in the fitness industry for almost 10 years (teaching 20 + fitness classes per week). The amount of stress I put my body through is unreal. Muscle discomfort, joint pain, tightness... you name it, I probably have it....The hip flexor work that we did was simply phenomenal. The day after the massage was the first time I didn't feel pain on my hip flexors in years! Can't wait for my next appointment!"

"...After my first massage from him, I can see why he is in such high demand. Richard gives an amazing thorough massage which is both relaxing and therapeutic. As an added bonus he incorporates various spa-like touches to the massage, including hot towels, aromatherapy, hot stones, and post-massage beverages....I would highly recommend him to anyone..."
"Simply put, Richard is THE REAL THING! Strong, smart, focussed, trained, attractive, everything about Rich's work is professional and first-rate, from his exceptionally comfortable studio to his dedication to REAL bodywork...I would call his work deep tissue/swedish/sports, while bringing in other surprises like aroma therapies and heating pads, etc. However it's described, bottom line is that it is excellent. The best. If you are interested in thorough, caring, professional work that will truly make you feel like you've gotten your money's worth, Richard is the one. Absolutely."
"I've been coming to Richard for over a year. I work in Westchester and come into NYC for plays, dinner and relaxation. He is sensitive, strong, intuitive, and professional. I have given "the gift of massage" with Richard to several friends, and they always rave about the experience. I have total confidence in him as a professional, and will continue to trust him with my friends. The best compliment I can give is about the massage .... the morning after one of Rich's massage, I never ache. But, my muscles are stretched so that I truly spring out of bed with no aches and pains from this 57 year old body."
"I have been going to Richard for the past year and I make it a point to have a session once a month. He is dependable, reliable, and truly an over-all wonderful guy. From the moment you step into his clean apartment, you will be transported you will feel the vibe and aura of a great and relaxing experience ahead of you. He makes you feels very relaxed but his wonderful personality. The massage itself is A-1. His place is an oasis for relaxation. His massage is of truly spa quality experience. The lavender scent he uses both for aromatherapy and throughout the session, the warm "gel-like" rub you get on your back, and the techniques he uses that is attuned to your body's need. He is gifted in these attention for details that he showers you. he is not a clock watcher and he spend ample time to talk to you after the session as he gives you a refreshing drink. He is a gem that you will not regret booking a session. he is consistent so he will get you hooked up to go back to that state of bliss that lingers after the session is over. For me, he is the best M.T. in town..."
"Ok...for a day and a half after the massage, my back was killing me. Now, OH MY GOD, you are the best. I feel nothing."
"I was referred to Richard by a friend of mine. I had a tightness in my thigh that hurt. My hope was that Richard could relax for me. A soon as I walked into his apartment he was very nice, friendly, and polite. He has a glass of cold water for for me. I was very impressed. He excused himself so I can take off my clothes for the massage. Once I was ready he immediately began massaging me. From start to finish his massage was very therapeutic to my body. He was very detailed in everything he did and took his time. I had asked him earlier that I would like to try have a head massage. When he did my head massage it felt so nice I cannot describe. I felt everything that I had on my mind drifting off. Once the session was over my leg felt so much relaxed that I could not believe it. Overall my body felt so at ease as if I spent a weekend at a luxorious spa. I highly recommend Richard for anyone who wants to have a massage that is so outstanding."
"I can say without a doubt that that was the best massage, and best massage experience i have ever had! you have thought of everything and it was a total experience. the aroma, the pressure, the warm lotions, the warm wet towels, the shower, the complimentary water...everything was great. while i was getting massage, from the moment you started, i knew i was going to enjoy the experience, and i knew that you were going to hit every part. i was not laying there wondering if you would remember my legs, or feet, or whatever. you even did my ears"!!!
"I feel SO much better after my session. Thank you! I really liked when you used gravity to pull my body on its side and work on my back. Never experienced that before in a massage and it felt great. You are a gifted guy."
"Rich was prompt in returning my email and told me what he had open. He is one of the Best Massage Therapist I have ever used. I mentioned to him that I needed deep tissue work and he delivered!! My back feels great! His techniques are extraordinary, at one point I felt as if I were floating. I returned to my hotel to enjoy the the best night sleep in a long while! Thank you Rich! I would like everyone to know I am your #1 Fan!"
"Rich gets it right. He's interactive and wants to know what's working and what isn't, he continues his studies and brings dedication to his craft, and he's got a good safe sensitive touch."
"Your massage was great. Strong safe hands that know where to go, which is terrific."
"Everything about my massage session was great. Very strong hands, I loved it. Good sense of knowledge to were to point the pressure. Very relaxing, comfortable, ambient."
"Thanks again for the massage. You do really great work, and I'm appreciative of the focus and sensitivity."
"I most definitely enjoyed the massage. I compliment you on
your professional manner and the very pleasant environment for the
massage...it was almost "romantic" with the music and such."

"I don't know what you did, but I must say I feel great! I have had a really long week, perhaps you could tell, and your touch was just what I needed to relieve some of the tension and stress. I can't thank you enough, I will remember the session and look forward to working with you again."
