“I’ve been a massage therapist for over 30 years offering heart centered intuitive body work that helps soothe the nervous system and support healing on many levels. My approach draws from a strong foundation in Swedish massage, structural integration, myofascial release, and craniosacral energy work. I blend these modalities into customized sessions tailored to meet the unique needs of each client in the moment they arrive on my table. I have a deep passion for supporting women through the transformative journey of pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause, providing deeply relaxing sessions for health.
My practice is inspired by the natural world. I listen to the rhythms and help others reconnect with their own. I believe that tuning into these natural cycles fosters wellness, balance, and a more grounded way of being. I look forward to supporting you and your health!” — Ruth Coffin
After completing her 1800 hour massage training program at the Potomac Massage Training Institute in 1996, Ruth answered a calling to focus her private practice on providing massage support to address potential stressful physical and emotional changes that can accompany pregnancy and birth.
Her mastery of prenatal massage was recognized when she was featured as "Washington, DC's Best Massage Therapist" in Allure magazine in 2004. She ventured to the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California for a year, immersing herself in the rhythms of the earth and sea, deeply and profoundly influencing the development of her deeply relaxing massage technique that works holistically to promote health and healing.

Provide a safe and nurturing space where people can receive the care and support they need.
"My passion lies in honoring the sacred processes of life by combining massage, bodywork, energy work, and sound as a ritual and rite of passage. I celebrate and acknowledge all aspects of growth, change, and development, including the physical, emotional, and spiritual transformations that come with the passage of time.
During our massage sessions, a process of self-discovery begins, connecting with the highest version of who we are. By listening to our bodies, we can thrive!”
