RECOVERY IS A PRACTICE

My style of Body Work is integrated and holistic, combining a deep understanding of the body’s mechanics with client-centered care.

As an athlete myself, I bring a unique perspective to working with other athletes, tailoring each session to address the physical demands of training and performance.

My approach emphasizes gentle touch and effective clinical techniques. Guided by intuition, lived experiences, and technical expertise, I create a space that fosters both physical relief and a deeper sense of connection to the body.


I believe recovery lives in the day-to-day. Each session includes practical habits, exercises, and stretches that you can carry into your everyday life to continue supporting your recovery beyond the table.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "I felt anxious and fatigued prior, then felt primed and recovered afterwards! Most notable improvement was magically fixing my wrist pain lol."

    Chris Yim | USAPowerlifting Men's 56 kg National Champion, Powerlifting Coach

  • "Working with Richelle has helped me reconnect with my body and understand it in ways I never had before. Beyond the bodywork itself, she’s given me movements, exercises, and a completely new perspective on how to care for my body. Because of her, I have a much better understanding of what my body needs, and I feel better not only in my day-to-day life but also as a powerlifter."

    Leeza | Powerlifting Athlete

  • "Immediate impact, solved my tight back on meet day! I would recommend body work to any and all Powerlifting athletes!"

    David Kabahit | Marching Band, Track + Powerlifting Athlete, Coach

  • "Nagging aches went away and whenever there’s tightness on a specific spot, it feels like the tension has been released. Overall relaxed at the same time learned how to apply Richelle’s method on a day to day basis.

    Ferissa Lagasca | Powerlifting + Climbing Athlete

  • "Was able to turn my head to either side without pain and I was able to take a full step without pain."

    Mike Rakoski | Powerlifting Athlete

  • "Before the session I was suffering from elbow pain consistently for about 2-3 years and after the session I was completely pain free. To this day I continue to be pain free as long as I do the homework given to me. "

    Randy Nguyen | Powerlifting Athlete

Recovery isn't just about reducing pain—it's about understanding your body.
