Hi, I’m Richard

My journey into healing began in 1998 while training as a Special Forces medic. That first experience with bodywork ignited a passion that’s grown into a deep commitment to offer safe, mpowering, and life-changing care.

Through breathwork, indigenous ceremony, and personal transformation, I’ve cultivated a grounded healing presence rooted in compassion and trauma-informed care.

I’m especially dedicated to supporting service members, veterans, first responders, frontline medical professionals, and fellow healers on their path to resilience and reconnection.

WITH ELEMENTS OF BODYWORK

Structural Integration

A transformative bodywork approach that realigns the body's structure by using gravity as a healing force. Through hands-on work and movement education, we address patterns of imbalance and tension that cause or perpetuate pain. This work invites lasting postural change, freedom of movement, and renewed vitality. Inspired by the pioneering work of Dr. Ida P. Rolf.

Myoskeletal Alignment Technique (MAT)

A comprehensive brain-based bodywork system combining gentle mobilization of fascia, joints, and nerves to restore function, improve flexibility, relieve pain, and rebalance and re-educate the body. Osteopathic principles and rhythmic movement inform assessments and the hands-on techniques. A body of hands-on work created by Erik Dalton, PhD.

RICH GAMBLE

Here to support your healing journey

I’m a structural bodyworker and acupuncturist in private practice. I also serve as a Registered Nurse in the VA Emergency Department. I am dedicated to healing myself and offering healing modalities for those I serve. After years of military service, I studied several different bodywork approaches, fascinated by how improving structure and alignment support profound change. Structural Integration, Myofascial Release, and Myoskeletal Alignment Technique (MAT) provide complimentary maps of structural change I utilize in all of my work.

My practice has since evolved to integrate Organic Intelligence®, acupuncture, cranial and visceral therapies, Trager® Approach and Rolf Movement™, yoga, and various indigenous healing modalities.

Ida Rolf’s Structural Integration provides a map of fascial organization in relationship to gravity. Organic Intelligence® opened my eyes to how trauma is rooted in the body’s biology, not just the mind. I’m passionate about this work and offer coaching alongside bodywork and acupuncture, particularly to those in the healing professions. My goal is to help clients reconnect with their inherent wholeness, backed by a wealth of experience and training across integrative therapies.
