Massage is one of the best ways of controlling stress in your life. I've been doing massage for 26 years since beginning in Austin, Texas. It started with a bicycle wreck, and ended with a new career. Massage helps you relax, encourages blood... flow and energy balancing, and can help relieve aches and pains of strained muscles. Whether you are an athlete or a weekend warrior, my massage will be the best part of your week. I work on all body types. Straight, Bi, Gay...none of that matters on my table. I came to massage because of my own pain. I stay in it to relieve your pain and help you face the challenges of life. Servicing downtown Richmond and airport hotels as well as the hotels in Short Pump and Innsbrook. No blocked calls accepted. Outcall rates are within 20 miles. For further distance, add $25.

Testimonials

Gathered by Ray from admiring massage clients to share with you.

Nov. 07, 2024 in Richmond, VA (in-studio)

Good morning Ray. Thank you for a wonderful massage yesterday. It was a pleasure meeting you and a pleasure getting to spend some time on your table. In spite of spending 2-3 hours blowing leaves after I got home, when I woke up this morning, I have to say that everything still felt great. So … I’d have to say you did a fantastic job. Thank you again for a great massage!

Aug. 08, 2024 in Columbus, OH (in-studio)

Great massage. Great Company. Thank you!

May 08, 2024 in Charlotte, NC (in-studio)

Ray, those were the strongest hands I have ever felt during a massage. It's been years, but nobody compares. When you return no Charlotte, I will try to make it again … ..a wonderful experience.

Nov. 13, 2023 in Orlando, FL (in-studio)

It's hard to find a good masseur. Your massage was one of the best I've had. Just wish I had time to get back over to see you before you leave. Thank you.

July 18, 2023 in Chantilly, VA (in-studio)

I just got back from a marvelous massage with Ray. He's a very sweet and gentle guy, great to talk to. Most importantly, his expertise and as a masseur is very apparent. He's knows when to be firm, when to be gentle, and is respectful of boundaries. I truly felt relaxed, and most importantly, cared for, under his hands. Folks in Richmond are lucky, since he's local to them, so what you waiting for? Text Ray today! In the meantime, I'll be looking forward to his next tour!

June 08, 2023 in Richmond, VA (in-studio)

That was absolutely the best massage I've ever had in my life. I have got to get back before I leave town. You had me so relaxed, I think a time or two I fell asleep. Thank you.

May 14, 2022 in Richmond, VA (in-studio)

Just checking in as I realized I never emailed you after my massage. LOVED it - you're terrific! I really enjoyed meeting you and look forward to another visit some time soon.

May 25, 2022 in Virginia Beach, VA (in-studio)

Thank you for the massage. I have felt amazing all day. Please reach out when you're back in town. You can put me down as a regular!

Oct. 03, 2021 in Richmond, VA (in-studio)

Thanks a lot for an awesome massage. One of the best I have got.

Oct. 07, 2019 in Nashville, TN (in-studio)

Thank you. It honestly was my best massage ever.

March 02, 2019 in Nashville, TN (in-studio)

I’ve had plenty of good massages and usually came away feeling they were beneficial. Then you come across something different that raises the bar. That’s Ray. A one-hour booking turned into two which became at times almost spiritual...Ray seized immediately on locked up areas in my back and with patience, persistence and sweat equity, set those muscles free of pain and tightness. Ray is intuitive and a good listener. A friend recommended Ray. Let me be a friend who is happy to recommend Ray as well.

Oct. 12, 2018 in Nashville, TN (in-studio)

Ray- offers an intuitive, skillful and thorough massage! He is adept at finding those trouble areas- and will work out those knots! And while he is working over your muscles- he can stimulate your mind! Great conversationalist! Make the effort to go see him!!!

March 23, 2018 in Nashville, TN (in-studio)

That was a lovely massage. I wish you weren't so far off my usual grid.

I shall certainly try to get back out that way.
