I am an Arizona native. I began my career as a Make-up Artist after obtaining my cosmetology license. I have managed several Day Spa's including most recently Dreams in Beauty Day Spa in Sandpoint ID and The Spa at the Inn at Blueberry Hill on Martha's Vineyard. I am currently offering Day Spa Services as an addition to my Massage and Bodywork offerings as a Mobile service. In the Medical arena, I have worked alongside Allopathic and Naturopathic doctors, Physical and Occupational therapists, Colon Hydrotherapists and Acupuncturists as a part of a clinical team, and as a solo therapist. My experience includes working with clients who have Fibromyalgia, MS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Cancer and Arthritis. As well as on conditions such as frozen shoulder, torticollis, knee and hip replacements, vertebral fusions, disk removal and injury recovery related injuries. I have provided massage therapy and bodywork to local and visiting professional sports team players and their staff. Injury recovery for the "Weekend Warrior" and those just wanting support while beginning a new work out program or are currently in one and wanting some structural and myofascial support. My formal training in Massage began while I was traveling through out the US studying Dance on the college circuit. This took me to NYC where I attended the New York School for Rolfing's first pilot course "Perceptual Body" and became Certified in Dance Therapy at NYU's New School for Social Research. I earned a Yoga Teacher Instructor Certification at the YWCA, before completing my BFA in Dance at Mary Mount Manhattan College in NYC. After completing my studies in New York City I moved to Oahu Hawaii where I began studying Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage. After returning to the mainland - Work History: I began working at the Boulders Resort and several other Resorts and Hotels through out the Valley as an independent contractor. When not on call in the tourist industry I worked part time as an employee of Scottsdale Family Health Care and rented an office space at the Best Part Hair Salon. I opened my first private practice office in downtown Scottsdale in 1991, Dreams in Beauty Day Spa in Sandpoint, ID in 1998 and Peggy Richards Massage Therapy and Bodywork in Payson, AZ in 2018. I am currently offering my services through out the year in AZ and on a limited basis in Sandpoint, ID. Through weaving techniques together or using them exclusively, my goal is to assist you in accomplishing your goals. Whether it be maintaining increased flexibility, structural alignment, joint stability, stress relief or injury recovery or pain relief. I am available to assist you. I enjoy working on individuals and groups! When I see people get something out of their session that they can take into their everyday life as being an improvement to their lifestyle. I am honored to have been given the privilege to have worked with them. I love to see clients become pain free, relaxed and more comfortable with their bodies and enjoy the way they feel.
