ABOUT
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Ruth completed training in Massage Therapy in 2011 where the profession is part of the regulated Healthcare Network, in line with Physiotherapists and Chiropractics.
​
As part of her 2300 hours of training, she worked within specialty outreach clinics treating patients in places like the High Risk Obstetrical Unit in Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the Brain and Spinal Rehabilitation Program within the Toronto Rehab - Lyndhurst Centre.
​
​
Ruth's unique style of massage treatment is based in Swedish and the many of the common techniques that Massage Therapists use (MET, ART, PNF, etc) learnt in her formal education. Over time, it has expanded to include breathing techniques that calms the nervous system. Recognising that each person needs are unique, she adapts her treatments to match needs and responses.
Since moving to the UK in 2017, she has focused her professional development on researching the intricacies of pain science within the biopyschosocial model and understanding how breath can affect our ability to calm our nervous system and manage pain better. She then combines this with her massage training to provide holistic approach treatments.
​
Ruth enjoys working closely with other health and wellness professionals, from Physios and Pilates instructors to mental health practitioners as she firmly believes that one person cannot do it all and as a team, you will get the best care to be able to move freely and get back to what you enjoy doing.
