Team Spotlight: Ruriko — The Heart and Healing Hands Behind the Best Massage in Stafford, VA
When you book a massage in Stafford, VA at Rejuvalase Medspa, you’re not just reserving a treatment — you’re choosing a transformative experience guided by one of the most skilled and compassionate professionals in the field: Ruriko, our Certified Massage Therapist and Licensed Esthetician.
Her reputation for excellence comes not just from her technique, but from her journey — one that began in Japan, where she served as a registered nurse for 14 years before bringing her expertise to the U.S.
From Nursing to Nurturing
After moving to the United States and raising two sons, Ruriko followed her lifelong passion for wellness, becoming a licensed massage therapist in Virginia in 2004, later earning national certification, and most recently achieving her esthetician license in 2023.
This rare combination allows her to provide both facials and massages in a single session, creating a truly holistic rejuvenation experience. Her approach is rooted in both medical understanding and intuitive touch — every movement deliberate, every technique designed to restore balance and relieve pain.
“Ruriko is amazing! I swear those are magic hands. I had neck and shoulder pain when I arrived. Massage, hot stone and cupping were the services I booked. I left there a new person. Ruriko is truly a master of her craft. The spa and staff are incredible. I’m scheduling regular treatment from here on out.”

Technique Meets Restoration
Ruriko’s massages are more than therapy for the body — they’re restoration for the soul. Her years as a nurse give her an exceptional grasp of anatomy and circulation, while her natural intuition helps her sense tension even before clients mention it.
Whether it’s a Swedish massage, deep tissue therapy, or hot stone and cupping, each session is tailored to your unique needs. Her focus on client comfort and care makes every appointment a grounding, healing experience.
“Update: June 10, just had another incredible massage from Ruriko! Today it was 90 minutes. Her skill in providing you with the best massage is wonderful. I always leave renewed, whether it's a Swedish massage or a deep tissue. Ruriko's expertise as a masseuse is outstanding. Thank you Ruriko for how you helped me today!”

“Went in for a deep tissue massage. Katie, the young lady at the front desk, was very friendly and professional. The waiting area was very clean and smelled great. Ruriko gave me a great massage, asking first where I needed special treatment. Made me feel very comfortable, and I left there feeling super relaxed. Would definitely go there again.”
— Yvonne Diaz, Local Guide, 2025
