Kindness, Compassion, Inclusivity

MAJOR UPDATE - Closure

I hope this update finds everyone well. 

The month of April 2025 will be the last month that I will be doing massage therapy as a business. 

I've thought long and hard, meditated, got some counsel, and decided that it's best for me to focus on tarot and the arts, which means I no longer need the office space. 

So, if you want a massage from me, the last day you can do that is the 27th of April.

MAJOR UPDATE - Closure

I hope this update finds everyone well. 

The month of April 2025 will be the last month that I will be doing massage therapy as a business. 

I've thought long and hard, meditated, got some counsel, and decided that it's best for me to focus on tarot and the arts, which means I no longer need the office space. 

So, if you want a massage from me, the last day you can do that is the 27th of April. 

I have been incredibly grateful to each and every one of you, and hope to see you in the future. 

If you ever need a massage I highly recommend Anna Beltran, aka: Open to Serenity. She has been my office mate and she was a teacher's aide when I was in the massage program. My style is similar to hers so if you vibe with me, you likely will with her. 

If you want someone who is also really good but uses more pressure and has more of a sequence, I highly recommend David Stevens aka: Pure Massage Therapy. 

When looking for another massage therapist I highly recommend finding someone who knows Neuromuscular Massage, Lymph Drainage, MyoFascial Release, and Shiatsu pressure points. 

May you be well and happy!

Sincerely,

Ruth-Renate 

Greetings and Salutations! My name is Ruth Renate Davidson. A keystone of my practice is nurturing the development of resiliency of the body, mind, and spirit; through kindness, compassion, and inclusivity, for the preservation, healing, and growing of love.

So you understand more about me and my expertise, I would like to share my education and training. I have a bachelor’s degree in child and adolescent development and a master’s degree in education with the Critical Research Academy. These programs informed and solidified my strong beliefs that inclusivity matters. It also means I am comfortable working with children and teenagers and pregnant women.

I received my massage education at De Anza College, and have been trained in the following techniques: neuromuscular therapy, basic lymph drainage therapy, myofascial release, table Shiatsu, trigger point, sports, and Swedish massage.

I am also a Reiki Master and Teacher, and trained in Moto-ki (martial arts/earth based energy healing techniques), and energy sensing techniques. As a Tarot card reader, I use these energy skills in my readings. I believe in the union between modern medical advances and energy healing.

I believe that therapies should be applied with presence, kindness, and sensitivity to both the nervous system and the person in front of me. As a massage therapist I have worked with people experiencing post-stroke symptoms, migraine, stress, body dysmorphia, body dysphoria, heartache, grief, and other discomforts. As an energy healer I have done the above as well as worked on expectant mothers, fetuses, babies, children, and adolescents. As a Tarot reader I have done the above and also helped people receive messages from the Divine and answer questions most salient to them. I often blend these modalities together when appropriate.

For all my services what you are paying me for is my time. During that hour, or two, or three, I dedicate all of that time to you, and it is sacred to me. All things will be lawfully held in confidentiality. I have a no nudity policy, meaning, you just leave your underwear on. Ask me about package deals for combining services together!

For all bodywork services please be sure to fill out the intake form, even if you are receiving energy healing. When doing energy work I need to be sure that I am working with any medications, supplements, or other treatments, not against them. For everything under meditation please be sure to at least fill out the basic information, and to sign the agreement at the end. For all services, please be sure to include your birthday so I can give you birthday discounts to show my appreciation!

The Divine in me sees the Divine in you.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Counseling, or Wellness services

by Jessica on Dec 23
Ruth is such a nurturing and intuitive soul. She listens to my body and muscles and takes the time to work the tertiary muscles before moving onto the main problem areas. Which allows working them to be much easier. It’s a relaxing but also fun experience as I find her to be a kindred spirit and I feel relaxed and calm after.
by Anna on Sep 09
Thanks to Ruth I was able to get some good sleep and have more ROM this morning! She knew exactly what my body needed. Thanks Ruth!

Very kind and thoughtful had a wonderful experience
by Anna on Apr 11
I appreciate Ruth listening to what I say needs work. She also inherently listens to my body and finds other things I didn’t even know were bothering me! I always leave feeling relaxed and better in balance with my body.

Very down to earth and caring. The sweetest and most intuitive massage therapist I have met.
by Anna on Jan 05
Ruth is one of a kind. She has bodywork skills along with the ability to read the body. As a massage therapist / bodyworker myself, I am quite particular who I allow to work on me. I fully entrust my body to Ruth. I always leave relaxed, yet more energized and centered.

Ruth has a kind, accepting and nurturing presence which together with her massage skills leave you feeling relaxed and restored. I am an athlete with previous injuries and I've had breast cancer surgeries. Ruth provides both a gentle touch with her lymph drainage skills and firm but sensitive myofascial release and neuromuscular techniques. I need a combination of massage techniques for my different needs and Ruth knows just how to provide that. I've had several massages with Ruth and I highly recommend her therapeutic touch and kind presence.
by Sarah on Feb 02
Beautiful presence, attention, gentle, kind, caring - I felt nourished, cared for, and that my body was listened to with honor and respect. I felt relaxed and nourished when I left. I will be back!
