About Me
Aloha, I'm Richt.
Massage entered my life through a personal healing journey that opened my eyes to the deep love our bodies hold for us. We often push ourselves too hard, overlooking the signals our bodies send. For me, this culminated in a physical breakdown in 2019.
To heal, I immersed myself in learning about hormones, nutrition, fascia, massage, and mindset. Inspired by physiotherapy, I trained in sports massage in the Netherlands. Massage not only improves mobility but also stimulates positive hormones — my favorite being oxytocin, the “cuddle hormone.” This is why I’m passionate about giving massages: they reconnect body and mind.
In 2021, I spontaneously traveled to Portugal in my little Twingo with my massage table in tow. There, I offered massages in nature and at various locations, often to surfers, discovering the joy of bringing massage directly to people in different settings.
Today, I bring professional sports massage directly to your home or nearby locations in Barão de São João and surrounding areas, offering personalized sessions tailored to your needs. Whether it’s relieving tension, supporting the nervous system, or addressing headaches, every massage is designed to help you reconnect with your body and find your natural rhythm.
I’m committed to helping others build a strong, balanced foundation in body and mind, so they can thrive in their lives.

My Approach
You are always at the center. Before I begin a massage, I always ask a few questions about your health and your wishes. These needs can shift during the session, which is why I continue to check in with you throughout.
Every experience leaves an imprint.
Whether it’s a hard fall on the pavement or the stress of work, these impressions aren’t just stored in the mind — they live in the body, too. Healing and relaxation are not only needed in the mind; the body cannot be left behind. In fact, far more signals go from the body to the brain than the other way around. So let your body send a message of calm to your mind.
Surrender to the massage and enjoy the relaxation.
Is a massage always a good idea?
If you’re currently receiving treatment for a condition such as heart problems, Parkinson’s, or something else, always consult with your healthcare provider first to discuss your specific situation.
If you have an issue in a particular area — such as varicose veins or whiplash — please let me know in advance so I can adapt the massage to best support your needs.
When is a massage not recommended?
-
If you have a fever
-
If you have a contagious illness
-
If you have an injury that hasn’t been checked by a professional (like a physiotherapist)
-
Immediately after intense physical exertion (such as running a marathon — waiting a day or two is ideal)
