About the therapist

Rachel Richards LMT
Nationally certified through BCTMB, licensed in Virginia, and graduated from the Virginia School of Massage in 2012.


I am the owner of Blue Sage Studio and Blue Sage Apothecary. As a licensed massage therapist, I have always been passionate about helping my clients achieve a state of deep relaxation and inner peace. I believe that the healing power of touch and sound can benefit not only the physical body but also the mind and spirit. 

At Blue Sage Studio, we offer a variety of services, including traditional massage techniques like Swedish, deep tissue, and hot stones, as well as more specialized treatments like prenatal massage, stretching, Thai yoga massage, Lomi-Lomi and Ashiatsu. But our dedication to your well-being extends far beyond the physical. As a reiki master, sound healer, and aromatherapist, I bring a holistic approach to our services, harmonizing the power of touch with the ethereal realms of energy and sound. This fusion creates a sacred space where serenity and tranquility flourish, allowing your body, mind, and spirit to find balance and profound healing.

Drawing from my background as an herbalist, gardener and aromatherapist, I'm attuned to the subtle yet potent benefits of nature's gifts. From the moment you step into our studio, you'll be enveloped by the soothing scents of carefully selected botanical essences, enhancing the therapeutic journey that lies ahead. Our treatments are infused with the healing properties of herbal remedies, elevating your experience to a realm of unparalleled tranquility.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand the profound impact that stress and tension can have on both the body and soul. Through somatic and parasympathetic nervous system treatments and toning, I guide you towards releasing deep-seated muscular stress and inviting a state of profound relaxation. This intentional approach ensures that every session is an opportunity for healing and growth, leaving you feeling renewed and empowered.

Whether you seek relief from chronic pain, wish to restore your energy flow, or simply yearn for a respite from the demands of everyday life, Blue Sage Massage Studio is here to guide you on your path to holistic well-being. Step into our sanctuary, where the healing powers of touch, energy, and sound intertwine, and embark on a journey towards serenity and rejuvenation.

Indulge in the transformative experience that awaits you at Blue Sage, where ancient wisdom meets modern healing, and where the essence of tranquility is woven into every touch. Discover the profound healing that lies within you, and let us be your guide in unlocking your true potential.
