Welcome

I’m guessing you are here because there is something that doesn’t “feel right.” Perhaps it is a pain in your lower back or just the nagging sensation that things “could be better.” Maybe you feel like a chronic injury is holding you back from enjoying playtime with your children or you find yourself in a job you hate but can’t seem to leave.

Whatever your reasons for visiting, I am so glad you are here. The first step in healing is reaching out to ask for help. I am here for you.

Here at Rivera Sol Bodywork I establish a therapeutic space for giving and receiving care, warmth and healing through non-intrusive and therapeutic bodywork. The role of compassionate touch within society is forever increasing as we become more divorced from direct personal communication and tactile human contact. Within our industrialized, technological age, there exists a move towards greater human connection and co-operation.

Our physical structure is just one aspect of who we are. We are so much more dynamic than just our body. There is a universal energy that moves through us and animates us. We are multidimensional beings of beautiful mystery, a collaboration of the physical and the etheric.

The human body is extraordinary. It strives toward health and balance. Its self-healing capacity, amazing! I hope to bring this understanding to everyone I touch so that each person experiences the inner wisdom and healing nature of their own body.

Nick Rivera, LMT - Founder

Nick Rivera has been dedicated to health, fitness, and wellness since 2009. His journey began as a young athlete in wrestling and martial arts, which naturally led to a career as a personal trainer specializing in corrective exercise and functional fitness. While studying exercise science, Nick encountered a mentor—a Yogi and professor—who inspired his interest in holistic health, stress management, yoga, and meditation.

This newfound passion led Nick to Massage Therapy, and he completed his training at The Swedish Institute of Health Sciences in NYC, where he studied an integrative approach blending Western medical practices with Traditional Chinese Medicine. He deepened his expertise in Thai massage at the Sunshine School in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Nick is also certified as an Exercise and Holistic Lifestyle Coach through the CHEK Institute, a Personal Trainer, and a Usui Reiki 2nd Degree Practitioner. He has furthered his knowledge in sound therapy at the Atma Buti Sound and Vibrational School, complementing his commitment to emotional and spiritual growth through mentorship in various healing traditions.

In his free time, Nick enjoys practicing Jiujitsu, dancing, playing the hand-pan, and going on adventures with his dog and loved ones in nature. His true passion lies in helping clients heal and thrive by creating a compassionate, sacred space for transformation. Through a holistic approach, Nick guides his clients toward self-discovery and vitality, working in harmony with the body’s natural intelligence.
