About Richard Fuhr

A Unique Blend of Experience and Care
I bring a rare combination of skills to my work: the strategic insight of a corporate leader, the healing touch of a Shiatsu practitioner, the compassionate guidance of an End-of-Life Doula, the engaging voice of a Public Speaker, and the energy and discipline of a National Age Group Speed Skating Champion.

Shiatsu Massage
A single Shiatsu treatment transformed my own health and perspective, inspiring me to become a Licensed Massage Therapist in Illinois specializing in this practice. Through Shiatsu, I help clients ease pain, release tension, restore balance, and reconnect with their inner strength.

End-of-Life Doula Care
As a certified End-of-Life Doula, I walk alongside individuals and families during one of life’s most profound transitions. Whether guiding conversations, organizing essential details, ensuring paperwork is complete, creating legacy items, preserving life stories, or offering calming Shiatsu, I bring comfort, clarity, and dignity to the final chapter.

Public Speaker & Athlete
On stage, I share stories and insights on resilience, transformation, achieving goals, and living with purpose. My journey as both a leader and healer is strengthened by my discipline as a competitive speed skater — lessons in perseverance and focus that inspire clients and audiences alike.
