Deep tissue, relaxation, lymphatic.
Ruth is unable to take new clients at this time.
Email ruthnewnam@gmail.com for lymphatic referrals.
Ruth has developed a specialized blend of techniques to help heal chronic and acute pain issues and to maintain health and wellness in her clients. She blends deep tissue and relaxation techniques with a strong anatomical awareness of strength imbalances as well as areas of tightness or restriction. She works with athletes (endurance, collegiate, and professional athletes) and clients recovering from injury, surgery, and illness, such as cancer, fibromyalgia, autoimmune issues, repetitive stress injuries, plantar fasciitis and more. She emphasizes self care in her private practice and group yoga classes.
A native of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Ruth received a B.A. from the College of William and Mary and a M.A. from UNC-CH before attending the Body Therapy Institute in Silk Hope, NC, and the Dr. Vodder School lymphedema and lymphatic massage.

Relaxation, lomi lomi, swedish, deep tissue.
Jonathan has always been interested in healing and alternative medicine, so after receiving his BA from UNC Greensboro, he decided to go to Durham Technical Community College for his Massage Therapy training. Jonathan has found Massage Therapy to be a great way of providing non-invasive, natural wellness care for clients. He finds it very rewarding to see, first-hand, the amazing difference that massage can make in his clients’ lives. Jonathan provides integrative, therapeutic sessions using Swedish and Lomi Lomi techniques for relaxation, and a variety of deep tissue techniques to address specific problem areas.

Fresh out of college, Kristen began a career in advertising…until she got tired of selling things to people they didn't need or shouldn't have!
So she became a yoga instructor, teaching in California, Arizona, Alabama and finally, opening her own studio in Florida.
When Kristen moved to North Carolina, she craved new understanding of the body. She decided that massage therapy would compliment what she knew and further help her to help others. In 2016, Kristen graduated from Body Therapy Institute.
Since then, she's crafted a style of massage that typically combines Swedish, deep tissue and myoskeletal, as well as assisted stretching and sometimes cupping.
Her method is slow and progressive.
Her goal is to get you feeling better, faster.
“Therapeutic Massage” is the best description of the type of work Kristen does. Kristen works with the client, not on the client. She listens and considers the multi dimensions of pain…body, mind and spirit.
If you're looking to relax, Kristen can do that, too.
