Ruth is amazing. I found her 20 years ago when I was doing 50k Nordic ski races. she was great then. At 54 I have decided to get back into racing Nationally and was fortunate to be able to find her again. She is greater than great. Very intuitive. I had a couple "weaknesses" with my body and within a couple sessions she dialed in the source. With her in my tool box I plan on racing hard for at least another decade. She finds her profession as an ongoing experience.

Ruth takes time to get to know you and your body so she can treat you holistically. She's knowledgeable and kind, and she's helped me sort out some long-standing patterns of stress and tension. She's guided me to new levels of awareness that go beyond the time I spend in sessions with her. Highly recommend!

My exercise and work endurance was on the road to being back to normal just after the 2 sessions of your therapuetic massages. Boy am I glad my brother -in-law told me about you when I was visiting ABQ. Thank you Ruth for helping me! I hope to have more sessions as I visit NM. Being a nurse and feeling the release of tension has been an amazing process for me. Expecially being post 2 years suffering from a knee sprain. My GOD blessed your mind and hands while you work. We are all so grateful for you!

Ruth is a caring and compassionate therapist who has the most unique method of massage I have ever encountered. She massages two areas of the body at once - understanding how they are related - and the effect is almost like having a four handed massage. It is also sweet to have her dog Fred in the room, as he soaks up and gives out good energy.

I had a great experience at Athletic Touch! I have had a couple of injuries in which Ruth has identified the root cause and taken the extra time to work with me and go through some rehabilitating exercises and stretches. I feel confident that I will return to 100% thanks to Ruth!
