Intuitive Clinical Assessment for the Whole-Person

Ruth’s Treatment Philosophy

Intuitive Clinical Assessment for the whole person

Holistic education is a movement that seeks to engage all aspects of the learner, including mind, body, and spirit. “Holism” is defined as the tendency in nature to form wholes that are greater than the sum of the parts. One patient recently asked, “How can I be 80% better in 1 session after months of pain?” When we involve ALL the parts of you on the healing journey, your body makes quicker, more complete leaps than if we focus on each part individually. Your body holds your stories.

All sessions include both an Intuitive and a Physical Assessment. Ruth spent many years practicing intuitive assessments which offer deep energetic insights into the root cause of physical limitations. Physically she utilizes the best techniques in Osteopathic Manual therapy including visceral manipulation, neural manipulation, strain counter strain, muscle energy technique, and advanced myofascial release. Pelvic floor therapy for women is just one of the specialities Ruth holds.

All Patients

Hi! Ruth has returned to patient care and her new scheduling link is available.

Intuitive PT: All sessions will include both an Intuitive and a Physical Assessment. Ruth has recently been working on a mentorship in intuitive assessments which offer deep energetic insights into the root cause of physical limitations. Visceral manipulation, neural manipulation, strain counter strain, muscle energy technique, myofascial release are a few of the common modalities she uses for concurrent manual therapy.

These sessions are power packed and they are not intended to be your regular, frequent PT or mental health support. They will give insight into stuck or persistent patterns that may have emotional or physical origins which can then have ongoing support with adjunct therapists. The frequency that is recommended is 3 weeks to 3 months between sessions.

4-Handed Sessions with Ruth & Donna

Two healers. Four hands. One body learning to play in tune again.

Donna and I have both trained deeply in advanced osteopathic manual therapy. We don't just work with muscles and bones. We work with your organs, arteries, nerves, the nerve plexuses that supply your blood vessels, and even your brain, through our training in Manual Approach to the Brain.

Think of your body as an orchestra. When one section can't harmonize with another, the whole song suffers. In a 4-handed session, we find those out-of-tune places and work on both at the same time:

  • Brain and bladder
  • Cerebellum and hips, for coordination and balance
  • An old foot injury you've limped on for years, and everything that adapted around it
  • A right hip pulling on a left shoulder. One of us holds the hip while the other frees the shoulder.

"I worked on a patient's carotid artery while Donna worked on the abdominal aorta. The whole vascular system responded more than either of us could have gotten alone." — Ruth

With two of us working together, your body gets the right amount of input to untangle complex patterns, and it responds faster and with more clarity. It's a rocket boost for your healing if you've been stuck, want to jumpstart your progress, or want fewer sessions overall.

The details
• $330 for a 1-hour session with both of us ($165 + $165)
• For existing patients who have had a new patient evaluation with either Ruth or Donna
• These sessions are powerful. Leave time afterward to let them settle in, like a gentle walk or a warm bath.
