A life of healing…
Rick began his career in the medical profession as an Air Force Medical Service Specialist in 1967. After 2 1/2 years at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, Texas, and 15 months in DaNang, Vietnam, he worked as a nurse assistant at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital (TMH). Becoming a Florida paramedic in 1980, Rick worked in TMH ambulances for nearly 11 years. During that time he was also one of the original Aeromedical Specialists flying with Life Flight (helicopter and fixed-wing) until August, 1990.
Rick studied massage at the North Florida School of Massage Therapy in 1987. He has worked with 4 rehab clinics, 3 “high-end” resorts, 3 chiropractors, and 2 physical therapists. He has been an instructor at 2 massage schools, and was an examiner for the State of Florida’s massage exam.
Rick’s resort experience include the Grove Park Inn Resort in Asheville, North Carolina; 3 seasons at Francis Ford Coppola’s Blancaneaux Lodge in Belize, Central America; and 1 year as a member of the “opening team” at the Ritz-Carlton Spa in Naples, Florida.
In November, 2002 Rick attended a Basic Quantum-Touch (QT) Workshop in Tampa, Florida. Although not fully understanding the potential of QT, Rick continued taking the advanced QT courses while offering neuromuscular massage therapy until June, 2005. By that time, Rick was saying to the Universe, “There MUST be a kinder, gentler way to help others heal without hurting them and hurting myself at the same time.”
An inner voice told him to open the FedEx box containing the QT Interactive Video Workshop, unopened for 7 months. He states, “Watching those DVDs not only rekindled my interest in Quantum-Touch, I realized that all of the various modalities, jobs, and experiences I’ve had since 1967 have been like taking little steps towards my goal of becoming a healer. Quantum-Touch has proven to be a quantum LEAP towards awakening the healer within me, and the answer to my prayers. With more than 40 years in the medical profession, I can honestly say that Quantum-Touch is, so far, the easiest to learn, remarkably effective, and most rewarding healing modality I’ve ever had the absolute pleasure to practice.”
Rick is now a Certified Quantum-Touch Practitioner and Instructor. Give him a call if you’d like to experience an excellent massage, a 1-hour QT session, or if you’re interested in learning this remarkable hands-on healing modality. In his office, in your home, or in your vacation rental, Rick will bring his compassion, his expertise, and his sense of humor to you.
