Ruth Cummings is an absolute gem in body advocacy and holistic wellness.
Her intuitive gifts are nothing short of miraculous. During a chance encounter at a retreat, Ruth sensed an energy blockage in my throat and gently asked, ‘What can’t I swallow?’
Just weeks later, I received a thyroid cancer diagnosis.
Ruth’s profound intuition forewarned my condition and served as a guiding light on my healing journey. Her unwavering support and intuitive wisdom have provided comfort and strength.
I am eternally grateful for her presence in my life and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking profound healing and transformation.

“Ruth Cummings transformed my life. She helped me work with my body to shift chronic pain by understanding its message for me. This allowed me to become more of who I know I can be by showing up as a more fully expressed version of myself. In practical terms, I raised my prices to match my expertise, attracted a higher caliber of clients, and created more time for the people and pets I care about most.”

“I’m so grateful to have found Ruth.
She was able to talk me through my burnout and fatigue to help me understand and reconnect with my body. For me, it became so normal to ignore the aches and pains and push the exhaustion to the side. Ruth helped me tune into those things to listen to my body again. It has helped me find so much more balance in my life and relationship with my body. Ruth has been so encouraging and instrumental in this journey to a healthier and happier life.”

“I’m no longer at War With my body”
In working with Ruth, what I was hoping to shift was my relationship with my body. I treated my body— for lack of a better way to put it—like it was the enemy.
I always acted as if my body was against me, that the way it looked, the way it felt, was something that…

“I was finally able to stop cramping during matches”
Working with Ruth, I had problems with cramping for a long time due to tennis itself and I didn’t really have a positive outlook on finding a solution.
So I wasn’t really adamant on there being a positive result in anything because I had this…

“I can move my neck freely and without pain”
I met Ruth at a time where I was wrestling with some unresolved neck pain. I could not turn my neck in its full range. It would hurt if I made my chin touch my shoulder and it definitely was a point of frustration when I began swimming.
Ruth worked on me and reminded me that the neck symbolically represented communication and it was the physical evidence of me disassociating from my body. My inner child did not trust my leaps of faith because my physical world did not feel safe and I did not ensure that my body was taken care of – safely.
Now that my inner child can trust me to have her back, not only can I move my neck freely in swimming but I can trust myself to show up and communicate more effectively with the public!

“Better swim times; no more pain"
Hello, my name is Richard and I love swimming. I am a competitive swimmer, a US Masters Coach and a swim instructor. A few years ago I had thoughts of giving up swimming because of severe neck and upper back pain due to aging cervical disks being aggravated by swimming. Now, after working with Ruth, I’m back in the water and swimming nearly pain free!
For me, the key was Ruth’s wholistic and caring approach to my rehabilitation.
I was initially just looking for a massage therapist when I happened upon Ruth’s “Body Mind Executive Coach” website. The idea of combining massage with coaching made a lot of sense to me so I gave it a shot. It was Ruth’s unique combination of therapies that got me swimming essentially without pain.
I knew massage would be important in my healing and Ruth is, hands down, the very best massage therapist I’ve ever seen. In addition to her massages being immensely therapeutic, they also provided Ruth with an understanding of my muscle weaknesses, imbalances and areas of tightness. With this knowledge, along with her keen understanding of sport, she created a unique training program just for me.
Ruth’s massage, exercise, stretching and Body Mind Coaching made it possible for me to swim competitively again. My technique has improved, my times are coming down and my pain is no longer a limiting factor. So, if your sport is taking its toll on your body, mind and / or spirit, I can highly recommend Ruth Cummings as a valued partner in your recovery.

“Stronger & Happier after Drastic Changes”
I first met Ruth when I booked a massage with her. Little did I know that God was at work through Ruth and that I was about to see some drastic changes in my life throughout the next year.
During that massage, Ruth and I talked about the Spirit, Mind, Body connection.
I definitely knew that I needed to work with her. She was an answer to prayers.
Having lost my husband 4 years prior, I had been struggling with anxiety and several nagging physical issues that I could not get resolved.
As Ruth and I worked together, I learned how to interpret the mental triggers and connect them to what was happening in my physical self. I learned the techniques that would help to resolve the issues while keeping at the forefront God is our ultimate healer and our relationship with Him is paramount.
Ruth gave me the support, encouragement and tools to get me back on track which helped me to feel stronger mentally and physically. I was then in a good place to make some big decisions regarding my future.
I’ve learned the value of a true Spirit, Mind, Body connection and I am stronger and happier than I have been in a long time.
Thank you, Ruth! God bless!

“More Clarity, Creativity & Courage to Lead”
Ruth helped me to clarify what I want to create with my life, letting me develop the courage to speak it out and to make a stand for it. I think the most important take away is that it’s me who will take the lead in my life and I have to decide what’s important for me.
We covered many different topics that are important to me during this transitioning stage of my life… organizing many aspects of life into a tangible structure and accessible goals that we can work on every week….her patience, advice & being a great listener to my vision as well as all my big and small questions. Thank you Ruth.

“I have Focus & Hope”
After a devastating year with the Pandemic, I felt I needed to refocus on my life. I considered a Life Coach & found Ruth C. She has been wonderful coach and friend. Each session was packed with guidance, a new perspective looking at me at this time in my life, 60’s. I have been able to form better habits in my health, social life, career and retirement. I felt supported and challenged. Ruth helped me to find the courage, to embrace change and move forward making choices that benefit me. I have a new outlook on life and it looks exciting and fun!! I still have much work to do, I am a work in progress!! Thank you Ruth!!

“Ruth showed me positive thinking”
During a semi-final doubles match, my tennis doubles partner & I were losing to a team that we were ranked higher than, and we were getting very upset and frustrated. Over the changeover, Ruth talked us into a completely different headspace. She reminds us to be present, look at the sky, breathe, which gave us the confidence to win that match! Ruth is so motivating, keeps a very positive mind, has new perspectives & is nonjudgemental. Her knowledge about fitness & health is great…she has taught me correct form for exercises, how to eat right, & how to properly roll out & stretch. I feel very comfortable around her… she would be one of the first people I would call if I were in trouble or needed help.

I have personally known Ruth for over 6 years and am continually amazed at the wealth of knowledge she has, on nearly everything I’ve come to her for guidance about. She even worked with my daughter on her running form and was able to quickly pinpoint the issue and create a custom exercise regimen for her to improve her form! I highly recommend Ruth Cummings to anyone looking to better themselves, both mentally and physically!
