My Other Life

In my other 'work' life (when I'm not acting) I'm:

Richard Neil, LMT, CMT

Richard Neil is a licensed, certified massage therapist. His technique of healing bodywork incorporates the various modalities in which he’s been trained: deep tissue, Swedish, shiatsu, acupressure, reflexology, and kinesiology. The “recipe” of the massage is defined by the individual client’s needs. The overall goal is a calming, enjoyable experience, one in which the client will walk away feeling more energy, more flexibility, better alignment, and relief from muscular tension and mental stress. Richard also incorporates his training in kinesiology and muscle testing to strengthen specific organs with accupressure and meridian alignment, creating better circulation and a stronger lymphatic system.

Richard is a graduate of The Pacific School of Massage and Healing Arts in Gualala, California where he studied with the master, Dr. Fred Mitour. He also attended The Massage School of Santa Monica furthering his knowledge of Deep Tissue work with Marcel Salomon, and sports injury massage with Marko Yrjoruori, the trainer for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Richard also practices the healing art of Sacred Hot Stone massage, which brings the healing qualities of heated basalt stones into a specialized deep tissue massage. For this, he has been trained and certified by the Institute for Therapeutic Massage.

"Pain, stress, disease, are all symptomatic of imbalance within the human organism. A realignment toward balance must integrate the structural, chemical, psychological, and spiritual components of a person. The massage experience brings us back in contact with ourselves. It helps us tap into the natural order of the universe and our own inner security. As a result, our breath becomes deeper, our minds become clearer and calmer, and we are reintegrated as whole people."
