About
Sixteen years of working with clients has taught me something simple but profound: when you lie down on a warm table and feel the right kind of pressure in the right place, something shifts. Your nervous system settles. Your breath deepens. The knots you've been carrying start to release.
I've spent those years learning how the body talks. I trained at Educating Hands School of Massage in Miami, and then I kept learning from every client who came through the door. Over time, I developed what I call Intuitive Touch, which blends Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, and techniques from Thai massage, trigger point work, sports massage, craniosacral therapy, and neuromuscular work. The approach is unique because I let the music guide me, too. I've curated a playlist of 1,600 soft, relaxing songs that play during each session, so every massage feels a little different.
Miami's best has moved to St. Augustine. I'm here now, serving St. Augustine and surrounding areas both in my studio and mobile, with the same warmth and skill my clients trusted for over a decade. My signature massage is ninety minutes, though I've added a sixty-minute option to meet demand. Whether you're coming to me to recover from injury, work through chronic tension, or simply carve out time to feel safe and cared for, this is your time. I work with everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, size, abilities, or background.
You'll feel the difference the moment you settle into the heated table.
Techniques
Testimonials
Richard uses exactly the right amount of pressure to ease tension in sore muscles. The heated table makes the whole experience deeply calming, and his stretching techniques are excellent for getting relief and looseness after a long workday. He really does make you feel lighter and better.
Richard is a wizard with knots. I developed intense pain in my neck and upper back over the course of a week, and a chiropractor visit didn't help much. During the massage, he immediately located the problem and worked it throughout the session. By the next day, my pain was gone completely.
I've been seeing Richard for massage every two weeks over the past decade. His work is absolutely first-rate. Without question, he's the best massage therapist I've ever experienced.
As a massage therapist myself, I know technique when I see it. This was the best massage I've ever received. I found someone who truly understands and practices the same quality of work I strive for. I felt good and relaxed for an entire week afterward. I recommend Richard without reservation, and I'll definitely be back.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently praise Richard's technical skill and his ability to pinpoint and resolve stubborn pain, particularly in the neck, upper back, and shoulders, often with relief lasting days after a single session. The heated table and calm atmosphere combine with his responsive pressure and stretching work to create an experience clients describe as genuinely transformative. His ten-year plus relationships with repeat clients speak to both his results and his trustworthiness as a therapist who truly listens to each person's body.
