My doctor recommended Ryan for my fibromyalgia.  I had never had a massage and was very nervous.  Ryan immediately put me at ease.  He listened to my reasons for coming and carefully explained the process, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience. He has been great.  Before I saw him, I could not drive, getting dressed was a major ordeal, and just getting in and out of bed was difficult.  Over time, Ryan’s massages have helped tremendously.  I can now do all of the tasks of daily living without difficulty.  I also suffer from really bad headaches that typically last for 3 days.  If I see Ryan for a massage when they first start, the pain is significantly decreased immediately and completely gone when I wake up the next morning. I have occasionally used other massage therapists when I was out of town and found no one who compares to Ryan. Thank you Ryan!

I first visited Ryan in 2001 when I was training for the Marine Corps Marathon.  Since then, I have returned to him numerous times.  He has the most amazing ability to combine the pressure of deep tissue massage with a certain gentleness that leaves me feeling euphoric.  I have since moved to Australia and have had massages at well-regarded spas throughout the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia, New Zealand and China and none have come close to matching Ryan's.  If I had a complaint about Ryan, it would be that I now leave other massage therapists feeling a bit unsatisfied.

What can I say about Ryan Moschell except to tell you how extraordinary he is not only as a massage therapist but as a person!! I will explain to anyone who is interested in a good massage that a massage with Ryan is a "life experience." I have had many massages over the years but I put him in a category all by himself. His Zen-like personality is comforting & thoughtful. He is the consummate professional & I always feel at ease with him. Besides the fact that I adore him as a person he gives the best massage I have ever had, bar none! It's well worth it.

I have been to many massage therapists over the years at different spas depending on where I had a gift certificate. A friend suggested I give Ryan a try and I have seen no one else since. Ryan is the first massage therapist I have felt strongly about returning to. I have chronic back pain and Ryan always gives me relief from the pain in addition to leaving relaxed.

I have been going to Ryan for a full body massage every other week for over a year now. Over the course of the year I have noticed a significant improvement in my lower back which has been a sore point for me for years. Ryan is very knowledgeable and varies the massages according to my needs.

If I have a sore shoulder, he will focus extra attention on that area and I get a lot of relief. Ryan is also a perfectly delightful person and makes the sessions very enjoyable. On a scale of 1 - 10 a massage by Ryan is a 10!

I am 80, in reasonably good health and physically fit.  When I stretch out on Ryan's table, I do not expect pleasure but a physical workout performed on my muscles and tendons by his trained hands, fingers, and forearms.  I trust his skill to relieve tension in the neck, lower & upper back.  I trust his skill to maintain my aging body in sufficient youth to permit me to move with vigor and balance.  All this is good for my body, but it also affects my mind-brain, because the two are connected.  So when I groan and moan on the table, I am giving voice to my experience which is neither pleasure nor pain or perhaps both.

Because I am of “advanced age” (over 39) in what doctors consider peak fertility I have had elevated FSH levels over the past 2 ½ years. I have found that by visiting Ryan with his work on my head, neck and back using cranial sacral techniques I have had decreased FSH levels on the months that I was treated. On the months that I did not have treatment my levels were significantly higher. So whether your levels are high prematurely or due to age cranial sacral assistance can help.

Ryan treated me last in the month of October 08. In the following cycle my level rose over 10 points without treatment. In the cycle prior to October my level was 16.5 without treatment. With treatment in October my level was 11.2. I find that having cranial sacral work prior to having blood drawn for FSH level checks, my levels were considerably lower and I was definitely more relaxed. I firmly believe the two are related. If we increase blood flow to our pituitary gland then there is a great possibility we can lower these numbers that doctors use to determine our quality and quantity of egg production also know as “ovarian reserve”.

In taking the time to slow down while paying attention to our bodies and listening to what our bodies are asking for we can increase our chances of conception. If our bodies are working at their most optimal, calm and aligned, we can come closer to our goal of conceiving a child. Thank you Ryan for working with me!

Ryan takes time to learn what special needs his clients have. He is very informative and encourages clients to think about how life's everyday activities can cause stress on the body and spirit. He educates clients about the connection between physical discomfort, stress and overall well being. He is genuinely concerned with improving his clients' quality of life! If you haven't scheduled a massage treatment with Ryan, you need to do so now!

If you want a lift, if you have a sore muscle, if you want a workout, Ryan Moschell's massage therapy if for you. Ryan has been my massage therapist for about a year, and I can tell you, he does excellent work. He's thoughtful, sensitive, and professional.

“After a very unpleasant (painful) experience with a massage that I got at the Traditional Thai Massage School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I was quite averse to seeking a massage.  While my wife and children were quite enthusiastic about their occasional massages (usually part of birthday celebrations), I was not getting on board. In January 2008 I had a pinched nerve, probably the result of poor form in reformer Pilates.  With encouragement from my Pilates teacher at Ridgely Retreat, I sought out Ryan to see if that might help. My experience could not have been more different from my Thai experience.  Ryan is thoughtful, sees with his fingers, and his expertise is obvious.  He is respectful, insightful and a very calm person, providing the best imaginable relaxing experience. I have become a devotee!”

Ryan Moschell truly has the gift of healing hands. He creates a safe environment allowing you to completely relax and get the most out of every session. I have been visiting Ryan for 8 years now and whether it has been for an acute or chronic issue or simply for general relaxation, he never fails to bring about more than favorable results."

Karen H.

I have been going to Ryan about 5 times a year for the past 3 years, my only regret is that I can't go more often! What impresses me the most about Ryan, other than the overall pleasant experience of his manner and technique, is his knowledge of the body. He can zero in a particular problem, and correct it. I had a specific extremely sore area of my back and shoulder that I told him about, and he focused, on during my last massage, and in the 4 weeks since, I have not experienced any pain at all in that area. Ryan is the consumate professional, and I would not even think about seeing anyone else for a massage!

Chad H.

What a deliciously relaxing and pleasant hour you spend when in the room with Ryan. He is so good at assessing exactly where the tight muscles are and releasing just to your comfort level. I felt I was being treated like a goddess. Can't wait for my next massage! It is worth so much more than the actual price. Nothing can compare to taking an hour out of your day to get the loving care and deep relaxation that Ryan provides. Thank you, Ryan!

Essentially a massage therapist is someone you must trust implicitly and with Ryan from the very first meeting with him you can trust him to take care of you. Communication is an enormous part of a massage and Ryan listens to you as a client and works with you to maximize your experience. The results from my very first appointment with Ryan lasted a full 2 weeks before I felt any tension or ache return to my neck and shoulder muscles. To anyone who holds their stress and tension in their neck or shoulders as I do, I recommend a consultation and 1 hour massage with Ryan and you will feel like a new person. I cherish each appointment I have with him knowing that I will come out of the massage feeling relaxed and rejuvenated especially when daily life is so frantic and exhausting. A one hour massage can improve the quality of your life and it is worth the investment with Ryan Moschell.

I look forward to my massages every 4- 6 weeks. There are so many benefits it's hard to decide which is best. The physical benefits of relaxation & releasing of toxins are terrific, but I often feel mentally, spiritually & emotionally refreshed & uplifted. I feel like I can face life with renewed gusto. Ryan is great, very sensitive & interested in helping. Do yourself a favor & schedule regular massages. You will be surprised at how your life can improve.

Ryan Moschell has been my massage therapist for the past several years. I have always found him to be a complete professional. His massage techniques have often addressed some of my physical ailments. Additionally, his massage skills are great to create relaxation and balance in the body and mind. Ryan is also extremely personable and conducts himself with the utmost integrity. He makes his clients completely comfortable and is always congenial throughout the treatment. He also inquires as to the client’s current concerns and tailors the treatment to those concerns. Ryan is reliable and conducts the monetary aspects of his business with complete integrity and accuracy. I have recommended Ryan to family and friends. I recommend him to you without reservation.

I'm one of those unlucky souls who lives with chronic and sometimes debilitating back pain.  Massage is the key to managing my pain and I can't speak highly enough of its restorative powers.  It's natural, brings balance and has the fabulous side effect of restoring sanity.  I have seen Ryan Moschell regularly for over a year and have found him to be empathetic, highly skilled and, most importantly, focused on healing…

Jennifer K.

My husband and I are so thrilled to have found Ryan. A friend recommended him to us and said he was "the best" and she was right. Ryan's is truly a massage with a personal touch, as he takes time beforehand to determine the focus of your massage for that day. His is definitely a healing touch for both mind and body.

Sandy M.

I return to Ryan time and time again because his mindful, insightful and technically skilled approach to healing massage leaves both my body and spirit mended at the end of each session. Ryan possesses the ability to make a sharp assessment of what my body needs in the moment, physiologically targeting and explaining his method as he goes along, allowing me to treat my body differently outside of the massage for preventative care. Ryan's passionate, thoughtful and responsive healing massage lends him such a uniqueness of care, placing him far and beyond the services of others in his profession. I leave each session with gratitude for the one-of-a-kind talent with which Ryan has been gifted and passes along to me through his healing hands.'

Anne M.

I have been fortunate to do some amazing traveling in our country and throughout the world, being in the salon industry I am a bit picky when it comes to body/spa services....I have had some amazing massages in all parts of the world and I can't tell you how lucky we are to have one of the best right here in Annapolis Maryland...Ryan is incredible and his massage coma lasts me for days. Talent, personality, and the caring way he takes care of his clients is what sets Ryan far and above the rest!!!!!

Rick S.

I've had massage therapy at many spas around the world. Nowhere have I encountered a massage therapist with Ryan Moschell's unique abilities. A session with Ryan is truly a mind/body experience. Not only does he intuitively understand what my body needs and translates that into healing touch, he is also one of the most spiritually insightful people I have ever met. I wholeheartedly recommend massage therapy with Ryan Moschell.

Mike D.

Ryan's massages are the best!!  He intuitively knows where my problem spots are and works his magic.  After I leave his office, I feel great....like I'm walking on air!

Wanda H.

I received two massages from Ryan and was so pleased with the result that I gave each of my daughters, my wife and myself a series of massages for Christmas. One of my daughters is upset with me because she can't figure out how she is going to pay for additional massages after her five are gone. That tells you just how good a massage with Ryan is. I have and will continue to recommend Ryan to friends and acquaintances. Enjoy!

Peter E.

Ryan's work is an integrative healing journey which allows me to melt into the moment. As a movement facilitator, it is magical to connect to the world of healing touch through Ryan's sessions. I am reminded of the science of my body as well as the innate ability that my body has been given to heal. Ryan steps out of the way to allow healing to unfold.
