Schedule with Ruth: https://greenleafmassage.as.me/Ruth
Ruth knew immediately that she wanted to learn the craft of massage therapy when she received her first massage at the age of 23. She then studied massage therapy and practiced as a licensed massage therapist in her hometown of Honolulu for the next 27 years. Ruth moved to Mukilteo with her family in 2016 and was licensed in Washington a year later.
Over the course of her career, Ruth has studied numerous modalities including Swedish, Lomi-Lomi, Myofascial Release, Thai massage, Visceral Manipulation, and intra-oral massage. She is also certified as an Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) practitioner and a Guild Certified Feldenkrais PractitionerTM, which she considers central to her work as a somatic educator. Both ATSI and the Feldenkrais MethodTM help to improve posture and function by addressing long-held patterns in the muscles and connective tissues that the body adopts in response to injury or chronic tension.
Ruth enjoys the challenge of matching her diverse skills to a client’s needs. She views each massage session as a journey toward well-being that practitioner and client embark on together. She believes the best massages involve a variety of pressures and techniques that address discoveries made along the way.
