Rick, Licensed Massage Therapist in Melbourne, FL

Hey, I’m Rick. I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist and founder of The Reset Room. When I’m not in the massage room, you’ll probably find me at the gym, mountain biking, playing disc golf, or finding just about any excuse to get outside to enjoy the Florida sunshine and photograph nature. I also love working with my hands outside of massage, whether that’s 3D printing, laser cutting, or fabricating something just because I want to see if I can make it.

I’m pretty laid-back, enjoy a good laugh, and have an eclectic taste in music. I can usually find something to appreciate in just about any genre.

How I Found My Way Into Massage

Believe it or not, I didn’t receive my first massage until the year 2020. I was dealing with quite a bit of pain at the time, and the idea of having a complete stranger work on me wasn’t exactly appealing.

But that first experience changed everything for me.

I felt firsthand how much of an impact massage could have, not just on my physical discomfort but on my state of mind. I’d always wanted to help people in some capacity, and suddenly I’d found something that made perfect sense to me.

I started my career focusing on therapeutic and medical massage, diving into anatomy and advanced techniques to help people dealing with chronic pain. I’m naturally curious, and I’m always looking for ways to improve my skills and give my clients a better experience.

But over the years, I discovered something important about myself.

Why I Created The Reset Room

While I still love anatomy and the technical side of massage, I’ve realized that where I really shine is in creating an experience that makes someone feel genuinely cared for.

I’ve been on the receiving end of massages that were too aggressive, left me sore for days, or made me feel like just another appointment on someone’s schedule. I never want my clients to leave feeling that way.

That’s why I created The Reset Room.

My approach is slower, more intuitive, and centered around what your body needs that particular day. I enjoy taking my time, listening with my hands, and adjusting my work as I go. Even someone I’ve worked with dozens of times might need something completely different during their next visit.

That variety is one of the things I love most about my profession. No two people are alike, and no two sessions should have to be, either.

For me, a great massage isn’t about how much pressure I can apply or how many techniques I can fit into an hour. It’s about helping you settle into an experience where you can finally let your guard down, quiet your mind, and feel taken care of.

What It’s Like to Spend an Hour With Me

I understand that booking a massage with someone you’ve never met can feel a little intimidating. I’ve been there myself.

I’m naturally easygoing, and I make a point of getting to know my clients, asking questions, listening to their preferences, and making sure they’re comfortable throughout their visit. Communication and consent are important to me, and I never want you to feel hesitant about speaking up.

Some of my regular clients have become friends over the years. We catch up on life, share a few laughs, and occasionally get into some surprisingly deep conversations. Other clients barely say a word once they’re on the table, and before long, they’re sound asleep.

Both are perfectly fine with me. This is your time, not mine.

Whether you’re coming in because life has been overwhelming, your body feels worn out, or you simply want an hour or two where nobody needs anything from you, my goal is to give you an experience that feels personal, comfortable, and completely unrushed.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you.
