Nov. 01, 2021 in Chicago, IL (in-studio)
Wow, just wow. I'm still floating.
My body is buzzing. I called to schedule with Rick just wanting a good massage. I’ve read his reviews and thought he sounded great. While I wasn’t expecting much, I’m pretty open minded. He was really easy to communicate with, no bs, just straight to the point and we scheduled.
I scheduled for 80 min. Truthfully, I could have stayed on his table for 3 hours! He’s quiet when he works and just “goes to work,” as he says. He found places that were tight and he was able to work that out so artfully. It felt so good, so productive and I wasn’t wincing and breathing heavy and waiting for the moment to pass. Instead, my body was just trusting his touch (I’m not sure what to say about that, exactly, but I don’t think I’ve had that experience before).
I came from running outside. He did an abbreviated body scrub pre-massage as part of my session. Even that felt amazing. His hands are extraordinary. When he touches you, you feel “experience” in his hands. Every aspect of his touch left me feeling more relaxed, eventually settling into the table more deeply. He calls this “stages of relaxation,” going deeper and deeper into a state of what I’m going to call: Bliss. It really was amazing!
During the session, he covered my eyes, had nice music playing, a heated table, memory foam padding on his table and a warm and quiet dedicated space. I honestly felt at home when I was with him. I left my clothes in the massage room when I went to shower and realized then that I felt at home. I felt like he accepted me fully, no judgments and was able to honor my situation.
If you haven’t found your person, he’s the real deal. I had the same guy for 4 years and he recently went back to school and is no longer available. I’ve been looking for his replacement and I’ve found him! I have scheduled a weekly standing appointment and I’m so grateful for Rick and his gifts.
I concur with his other reviews. See him. You won’t be disappointed!
