and Dance from Shenandoah Conservatory of Music and is a Graduate of the
Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences in New York
City. Richard is a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist and
is certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.
He has studied various modalities of massage therapy in conjunction
with the necessary foundations of anatomy, physiology and myology to make for not only an intuitive and energetic merging,
but an informed and specific approach to the body.
Richard specializes in Sports / Deep Tissue
and Clinical massage. When he is not working in his private practice, ComplimentYourBody.com , in New York Citys Theatre District, Richard can be found working in the spa located in New York Citys most
prestigious fitness center as well as the largest amateur sports complex in the country, The Spa at Chelsea Piers.

Men's Division (2005-Current), New
York City Marathon and the Scholastic Track and Field Competition
and has been involved with clinical massage at the New York City Presbyterian
Hospital (pre and post transplant patients) and the P.H. Ling Clinic.
He also understands the need for, and incorporates, relaxation and energy work into his sessions, to help calm the otherwise
hectic "A...pass B and C...go directly to Z" New Yorker.
His intent for Personal Training is not only
to promote external results, but to assess each individual and see where postural imbalances lie and create a program to best
address those postural issues.
Whether it be an athlete preparing for a triathlon,
a post-rehab patient, or someone who has never participated in an exercise program before, he strives to make exercise a fun
and enjoyable experience and hopes to create a "healthy addiction" for his clientele.
Richard is a National Strength and Conditioning Association Strength and Conditioning Specialist, a KettleBell
Concepts Kettlebell Instructor, and holds certificates with TRX, Powerhouse Pilates Mat, Mad Dogg Athletics Spinning ,
and is a Bodybar Master Trainer.
