Ruth is a Co-owner as well as an RMT at Leeward Massage and Wellness.
She loves working with her hands and after successfully running an urban farming business for 5 years, she was utilizing a lot of massage therapy to keep her body moving on the job. Becoming an RMT felt like a natural transition into a new career of rewarding hands-on-work.
Graduating from Vancouver College of Massage Therapy with a BA at UBC already in her tool belt, Ruth’s practice as an RMT has ranged from working in a spa environment to joining a team of physiotherapists providing interdisciplinary care to patients. Her massage style is an awesome mix from both worlds of relaxation to clinical based orthopaedics. She works together with clients using assessment and active listening to creatively design individual treatment plans with goal based results in mind.
When she’s not massaging, Ruth enjoys growing vegetables, hiking, cycling, chilling out in hot tubs and playing way too many board games.

This therapeutic yet deeply relaxing treatment is beneficial for individuals experiencing TMJ dysfunction, sinusitis, headaches, and muscle tension in the face, jaw, head, and neck. Using a combination of Swedish and neuromuscular techniques, treatment focuses on key muscles including the SCM, masseter, and temporalis to reduce pain, release muscle tension, improve mobility, and promote overall relaxation. With informed consent, intraoral (buccal) techniques may be incorporated to directly treat the muscles of mastication and enhance results. Hot towels, instrument-assisted techniques, and professional-grade facial oils may be used to support relaxation and therapeutic outcomes.
