I thought quite a bit about writing last night after my time with you, but I wasn't quite sure I could articulate my experience in a way that would describe it fully. I stayed in the zone and slept like a baby. I woke this morning to thoughts of...yeah, Richard is the real deal.

As I shared with you last night, the intention I set for bodywork is to let go, to reset, to find my center; a recharging of my soul. I've received bodywork from many people in the last 10 years as I sought to discover what "worked" for me in this space. The formula for this isn't complex but it is specific and you really nailed it. Clearing the space, a prayer of intention, intuitive touch, the "float", and allowing me to just "be" while you work your magic. I went to a place I haven't been to in a long time. I left recharged, healed, and with my soul full of the love you have for what you do. Not just anyone would be willing to give of themselves in this way for the benefit of another.
Thank you for the gift of Richard.

I must be blessed to have found such a healing 'superhero' like Richard. He has an intense awareness of what my body demands from him and with a huge heart and great intentions, he goes after it. All I'm ever left with is happiness, good health and no pain. I will share with anyone who listens that he has an amazing ability to heal. After two car accidents and work strains to my body my symptoms have been all over the map, but he never fails to amaze me with his abilities. Even when my body feels its most vulnerable, Richard removes it all and replaces it with peace. Thank you a million times over for your awareness and concern. I look forward to my visit with you every time. You're brilliant.

I am a performing musician and I have found that I keep my anxiety in my upper chest and shoulders. Richard helps me to release this tension through his expert physical touch as well as his energetic touch. After every session with him I leave without the unnecessary and annoying baggage of tension and anxiety that I came with. If everyone gave themselves the pleasure and gift of a massage
from Richard the world would be on it's way to healing!

"As a massage therapist, my clients know that I love bodywork and that I'm very choosy when referring them to other practitioners. I am often asked, "Who do YOU see for massage?" Well, you've found him: Richard Ludt!

Richard is a highly skilled therapist whose in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology is matched by a very adept set of hands. Every massage is unique, as Richard patiently stretches, kneads and unwinds your body's individual tension and holding patterns using an amount of pressure that meets your needs. I have experienced tremendous relief both from acute injuries and chronic discomfort.

Sessions with Richard go beyond the physical into the emotional and spiritual realms. His compassionate, nonjudgmental presence and open heart invite an ability to safely explore the emotions we store in our body, genuinely connect to one's spirit and heal deeply in the sanctuary
of his studio. If you are looking to release pain and discomfort, relax completely and improve your overall well-being, please treat yourself to a massage with Richard. And don't be surprised if you find yourself coming back again and again!"

One visit to Richard instantly relieved me of pain I had been dealing with for two months. Warm hands and a warm heart are a winning combination. I'm thrilled to have a new partner in health.

Even now, hours later during this sweltering heat, I still have a vibration going. You have moved into a whole other level of massage. Aside from the cool (temparature and ambiance) location, the touches
you used helped hold back the heat of the day: starting with a cool towel and alternating that with a hotone were soothing. Which is just how your touch starts. I felt a wonderful healing connection
from the beginning to the end of the session. And I still feel it now! Amazing! You have definitely lifted yourself to a new peak of skill. What a joy to be able to walk out feeling re-invigorated, centered, peaceful, touched and honored. Thank you so much for sharing your energy today. I feel very honored that you did. And I look forward to more!

Thank you so much for the massage experience on Saturday. I appreciated the strength and gentleness of your technique, and you seem to know how much pressure to apply for the desired result without going too far. You used several methods that were new to me that got right into the areas that needed to be loosened. 

I also liked the words you used that helped me keep focused on the process instead of letting my thoughts take my attention away. The deep breathing, check-in, and other suggestions were certainly beneficial to the overall process. My only feedback about that is that I sometimes found it difficult to keep up with all of the instructions that were given. I think it would help me to have a little more time in between directions, so I can implement one before moving on to the next. I didn't say anything at the time (which you had told me I could before we started) because I wanted to see what it would be like to try to keep up. 

The part that was new to me was the energy work, and I am definitely interested in going further with that.You are unique in my experience with massage therapy, and I’m very grateful to the person who recommended you. I’ll be making another appointment soon. Thanks again.

Querido Ricardo,
just wanted to take advantage of knowing your email and mention a few things that i especially enjoyed in the massage yesterday.

What you did with the forearm was unusually releasing and I am going to try it with my friend Fernando who has arthritic symptoms in his wrists and hands. The smudge smell resonated deeply with my soul taking me somewhere so familiar and deeply comforting. The face washing was touching and the scent brought another level of relaxation. The way you hold and lift my head is so smooth that I can truly let go the responsibility of keeping myself safe. And, I am not sure what was happening the very last few seconds but whatever you were doing, in the very last point of contact something clicked inside of me and I was immediately moved to center in a profound way. A part of me wanted to just lay there another hour and stay in that beautiful centered place. I bow to the divinity in you that brings such beauty into the world.

  - Love, LaShelle

Ricardo, (Richard)
I am so happy to have met you and to have your gift of massage technique in my life... prior to coming to you I was paralyzed from the neck down for a year and a half. That being the result of a non caring Doctor who had been mis diagnosing me for that period of time. I finally was properly diagnosed with a rare neurological disease called CIDPI was in the process of recovering when you gave me my first massage...(and still am in process with your help) From the first visit I knew I would be returning to you because you cared. Always asking me for my input at the start and wanting to know how I have progressed in my recovery since my last visit... You have a wonderfully incredible spirit about you and it shows... Not to mention the massages feel great! You are a definite Master at your abilities and I would recommend you to anyone seeking a massage and have done so...

  - Thank you, Daniel Howe
