Hi I'm Ruby M.Chavez, CMT. I graduated from the Thousand Oaks Healing Arts Institute in Thousand Oaks, CA in 2002. In conjunction with working as a massage therapist I've worked a long side Physicians specializing in; Chiropractic Care, Neurology, Orthotics & Prosthetics, Durable Medical Equipment, Acupuncture, Family Medicine, and also worked in an Urgent Care Setting assisting in medical billing and collections. My massage practice has started off focusing on re-aligning and balancing the structural, physical and subtle bodies that develop in the body due to postural factors, chronic pain, both current and past injuries, trauma and day to day stress. My practice has now evolved into taking a holistic approach by integrating my knowledge gained in western medicine, as well as combining eastern modalities studied and learned throughout my 20 years of practice.

In addition to massage, I became a certified personal fitness trainer by the National Academy of Sports Medicine in 2012 after having lost nearly 80 lbs with clean eating, heavy lifting and consistent cardio. Having a background in personal training has given me a deeper understanding of the human movement system, which allows me to recognize imbalances in the musculoskeletal system to implement techniques that are beneficial in realigning the structural, postural and functional patterns of the body.

In the past, I have also deepened my personal yoga practice by taking a yoga teacher training at Inner Power Yoga in Woodland Hills. More recently, I've become a Licensed Esthetician/ Skin Care specialist having trained at the Academy for Salon Professionals in Northridge, CA. Having completed over 600 hours in skincare services and having a 20 year background in human anatomy and physiology, I'm better able to provide a Holistic customized service to my clients no matter what their goals and needs may be.

The human body, mind, and spirit is my passion and I strive to continue educating myself in this exciting field, not just to help you look and feel good but to better serve, uplift, educate and help humanity reach it's highest form of self love.
