.... Ok, maybe not. But it would be a good start right? Hiya! I'm Thomas Richter, but my friends and clients call me TJ. I have always been a healer growing up in many various ways. It seemed almost intuitive for me to help someone with an illness, be at someone's bedside to be that positive support or work on someone who had a sore muscle. Until now, however, I had never put those energies into a focused intention like I do when I massage. I had chosen to be a massage therapist because it is the only practice that I found that the practitioner actually has dedicated time to be with the client. I did consider being a doctor. That would have been fun but have you ever waited in a doctor's office for 2 hours just to see the doctor for 5 minutes. You have? Me too! But that isn't my style. A nurse would have been equally as fun, but with what I would want to do I would be the one trying to be in 4 rooms at once. They haven't mastered cloning yet so that is a no go.  OK, all bad attempts at joking aside. Through all the hardships and trials I have faced in my life (we all have had these, right?) I have learned that this is what I am supposed to be doing. This is what I am good at. This is my passion in life. I want to be a part of any potential clients wellness or recovery plan. My training at the school is deeply rooted in Swedish massage, but I have learned to grasp my intuitive nature to listen to the body to provide results that satisfy my clients wishes. My education gave me the ability to be able understand what the human body has or is going through, how to be a part of the healing process and help aid that process in the most effective way I can. With these 2 halves now working as a whole, there is a whole new dimension of the art of healing I am exploring and sharing with clients one by one.
