Our Team

Megan Baker holds a B.A. in Dance from Radford University and has been teaching ballet and modern techniques for ten years.  She is a graduate of the Potomac Massage Training Institute in Washington, D.C. and has been in practice since 2013. She is delighted to bridge the arts of dance and bodywork, using her experience with dynamic movement and teaching to practically address functional issues in the body.

By combining Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage techniques with kinesiology and functional assessment, Megan contributes a client-centered experience that provides the individual with heightened body awareness, improved flexibility, greater range of motion, and mind-body balance.  Integrating elements of stretching, reflexology and myofascial release offers the client a well-rounded bodywork experience.  Megan is also certified in Prenatal Massage and highly recommends soft tissue work for the expectant mother!  She is licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia and is a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals.

Kristin has extensive experience in outpatient settings helping to treat patients managing chronic pain or recovering from injuries. She’s worked with the Riverdance traveling company and the Richmond Generals, members of the United States Premier Hockey League, as well as elite endurance athletes of all types based out of Richmond. Kristin enjoys working with people starting their fitness journeys, athletes striving to reach their full potential or recovering from a setback, and people managing chronic conditions that just need to feel more comfortable in their own bodies. 

Troy Fuller has been practicing massage therapy since graduating from the Lotus Professional College where he studied under Lela White and Kristin Gaulin in their 2017 class. His work is a blend of Trigger Point Therapy, Neuromuscular Massage Therapy and deep tissue Sports Massage. He is particularly adept in helping clients recover from intense athletic training, resolve structural imbalances, manage chronic pain, and maintain muscular and fascial health.  He is also Certified in Prenatal Massage and loves working with prenatal clients. 

 A daily practitioner of yoga for almost a decade, he studied Ashtanga Yoga for five years under several amazingly influential women at Ashtanga Yoga Richmond who helped him discover his passion for mindfulness, health and wellness. Outside of work he loves challenging himself physically with hand balance training, rock climbing, cycling and running. Troy feels incredibly excited and grateful for the opportunity to work at Richmond Sports Massage with his teachers who laid the foundation of his love for massage.

Rachel Young is the Office Manager for Richmond Sports Massage and will be handling all correspondence for the practice. Please email info@richmondsportsmassage.com if you have any questions, need help scheduling or would like to be put on the waitlist.

Rachel was first introduced to the practice a few years ago when she was referred for treatment of her severe scoliosis. The therapist’s approach of specific, targeted soft tissue mobilization has become an important part of  managing her condition and remaining mobile. 

Rachel is passionate about movement and exercise. She graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B.A. in Dance Performance and Choreography in conjunction with Spanish and has been a group fitness instructor for the past four years. She is currently studying to be a nurse at the Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing and still teaches classes at a wide variety of gyms in the city so you might find her in class one day!

Lela White has been in practice for 19 years, focusing her entire career in the Sports Medicine sector working under the guidance of Doctors, Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers to provide Clinical Soft Tissue Mobilization for patients and athletes. After earning her degree in Exercise Science from VCU she taught Kinesiology at University of Richmond for several years before moving on to teach at her alma mater, the Lotus Professional College.  While teaching there she met fellow educator and therapist Kristin Gaulin which inspired Lela to build a team of experienced Massage Therapists that could work together to provide focused treatment for athletes and people managing chronic conditions. Her practice is trusted by an extensive referral network of athletic clubs, Physical Therapists and Doctors throughout Richmond. 

Lela receives Massage Therapy from her colleagues on a regular basis as part of her maintenance routine for her Scoliosis and understands on a very personal level how integral Sports Massage/ Clinical Soft Tissue Mobilization can be to achieving a healthy lifestyle. She is extremely grateful for her community, colleagues, and patrons.
