Nicole Richards, LMT

Certified Deepfeet Instructor

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

  • I became a licensed massage therapist in 2005, and in 2007, I opened my own practice, starting my full-time massage career. Within a year, I attended my first DeepFeet Ashiatsu course and fell in love with this transformative modality. For me, connectivity and fluidity are essential to massage, and learning Ashiatsu was like discovering a beautiful dance that seamlessly integrated into my practice.

    Ashiatsu has been a cornerstone of my work, benefiting both my clients and helping to preserve my body from the demands of the profession. After building a successful practice in New Hampshire for 14 years, I took a leap of faith and relocated to sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 2019 to pursue my dreams. Here, I established a thriving practice just a block from the beach.

    I am deeply passionate about what I do and endlessly inspired by the human body. I embrace continuous learning, integrating new insights into my practice. With the sun, the ocean, the warmth, and year-round flip-flops, Fort Lauderdale has truly become my home.

  • I recently took an advanced course with Nicole. Learning the protocols was easy with Nicole’s instruction. She helped me find approaches that worked better for my therapist's body. Her approach was warm, supportive, and thorough.

    Fort Lauderdale Beach is an ideal spot for vacation training, especially for outdoor enthusiasts. The training studio is in North Beach Village, just two blocks from four miles of beautiful coastline.

    This charming neighborhood offers coffee shops and local eateries. During breaks, enjoy a stroll along the beach or visit the famous Las Olas Strip for shopping and dining. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is perfect for hiking, biking, or paddling. You can also explore the area using the convenient Water Taxi, which winds through picturesque Intracoastal waterways.

    For convenience, stay at the Royal Palm Resort, steps away from the studio. This location is perfect for out-of-state travelers who prefer not to use a vehicle.
