Awesome experience! Really knows what he is doing. Explains things, offers suggesting, I highly recommend!

My massage with Rich was incredible. He is very professional and has considerable knowledge about how our muscles work (and how massage, when done well, can provide relief!). I would highly recommend booking a 90-minute with aroma therapy! I carry my stress in my neck and shoulders... but left feeling like a new person. read more

I had a therapeutic 60 min massage with Richard today. It was superb! Rich was very knowledgeable and treated me with great care and concern. He educated me and gave me suggestions to help alleviate pain in the areas I need to heal. The massage was as firm as I wanted and he asked several times about how I felt about the pressure - more, less or the same. I went in with several painful, tight areas and came out feeling like a new person. He focused on my problem areas. Richard made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I contacted him through the phone number at the Inn, but had the massage at his home studio. The atmosphere in the treatment room was great- warm cozy and felt like a peaceful spa.I upgraded to using essential oils and I am so glad I did. The essential oils felt great and the scents were relaxing and invigorating. I will book a massage with Rich the next time I am in the Valley. I also plan to set up appointments for each of our sons and their wives when our family comes here next year to retreat together. Don't hesitate to go to his home studio! This was the best massage I had and I have had many at various places around the country! read more

I was in Luray and truly needed a massage. I found Rich and received a 90 minute massage. This massage was the best I have ever received! He works the muscle tissue and asks questions to check in during the massage. He is intuitive in what to focus on and how to work the different areas in the body. I was having jaw pain this week and he was able to work it out and the pain completely disappeared. I highly recommend booking An appointment with Rich. read more

I was out of town, in need of some self care, and extremely fortunate to find Rich. His massage was like no other and yet in my top three lifetime massages! Instead of pressing on knots (of which I have many) and causing pain, he firmly, yet gently kneads the whole muscle (that's what it felt like to me however later he educated me on the fascia and clearly mine needed attention). Unlike some massages I have received, he listened to and respected all of my preferences and actively checked in to ensure what he was doing was working for me. I felt SO relaxed during the process and I would not hesitate to come back if I'm anywhere near Luray again! read more

Last summer I decided to begin looking for a new massage therapist after the local gym where I was getting massages had a substantial price increase. I came across Rich's website and noticed that he had substantial experience and specialized in pain relief and had very reasonable pricing. I decided to give Rich a try and am very glad I did so. One of the first things I noticed about Rich is that he uses different techniques from the other massage therapists that I've been too. Every massage I have had from Rich has been pain free and extremely effective with eliminating the pain I had been experiencing from sitting for prolonged periods of time. Rich has a great personality and is extremely friendly and outgoing. I highly recommend Rich as a massage therapist especially if you have trouble with pain. read more

Excellent massage. Rich was delightful to work with for scheduling etc. I also enjoyed the add ons he recommended (aromatherapy & an ecofin treatment for hands & feet). Would highly recommend! read more

I HIGHLY recommend Rich and RPS Massage and Healing. I have enjoyed every massage I have with Rich when in the Luray area. If I lived closer, I would see Rich every month! His healing energy and technique is professional and relaxing and I have left feeling better physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I couldn't ask for more! The ambiance is also very relaxing, clean and smells great. I have also had the pleasure of treating my husband and daughter to massages with Rich. They both loved their massages. My daughter was SO relaxed and left saying, "I'm a changed person!" This was high praise since she was nervous to receive her first professional massage. I can't wait to return to the Shenandoah's to schedule my next massage! read more

I have seen Rich for massage and energy healing for years. Every session is customized to my needs and I'm always feeling 100% better when I leave. He is very professional, knowledgable and cares about my comfort and satisfaction during and after my treatment. I highly recommend seeing Rich. He is my go to therapist! read more

Richard is extremely gifted in the art of healing and massage. I had tremendous pain in my shoulder and neck before I came to him and after the first session it was greatly reduced. Each time I see him my neck and shoulder thank me! He will tailor the massage to your specific needs and you can tell he truly cares about what he's doing. Very well worth the trip! read more

I sought a deep tissue massage. Instead of a 60-minute massage, at a premium price, I got a 15-minute massage with at least 20 minutes of "healing", where the therapist lightly touched his hand to my body and appeared to meditate while doing NOTHING with his hand except lightly keeping his fingertips in one place for several minutes. He also spent significant time talking/lecturing and everything BUT giving me a deep tissue massage. I made my request clear. Its wrong and unprofessional in my opinion to do this without consent. Whether his little prayer for my muscles is effective or not, it is not what I paid for or asked for. I was told it could take days or weeks for the "non-massage" portion of my massage to yield benefits. Of course, my payment was due immediately. read more

I've gotten two massages from Rich at The Mimslyn Inn's Seasons Spa--wow! Truly world-class technique; phenomenal experience, overall. Very relaxing and rejuvenating. A really nice and interesting guy, to boot. I highly recommend him as a top-notch massage therapist. read more
