Ruth is a multi-talented therapist with an impressive blend of science and hands-on healing. Holding a Bachelor of Science alongside diplomas in Massage Therapy, Complementary Therapy, and Sports Massage, she brings both academic knowledge and practical expertise to every treatment.
After taking early retirement from teaching science in 2013, Ruth embraced a new career path, retraining in therapies that allowed her to combine her love of learning with her passion for helping people. Today, her skills range from deep tissue sports massage to relaxing, restorative techniques — all tailored to the unique needs of each client.
Ruth is passionate about supporting people on their recovery journey, using her healing hands to ease pain, restore movement, and bring comfort. Outside the clinic, she lives life to the fullest — whether at the gym, exploring the outdoors, travelling, or spending time with friends. For Ruth, wellbeing is about balance, energy, and enjoying life as it should be.
