James Ruff has been incorporating philosophies and methods from both Eastern and Western medicine in NYC since 2003 and before that worked in various forms of counseling while leading life empowerment courses throughout the 90′s. Well versed in several forms of deep tissue work, including Anma, Trigger Point Therapy, and Acupressure he supplements these massage techniques with stretching modalities that originate in Western sports medicine and Thai Massage. James has also been teaching and practicing Reiki, a very powerful laying of hands system of healing, and combining all of these modalities with a self developed healing method that works directly with the emotional bodies which he calls Vocalized Sound Therapy.

After realizing that many patients suffer from chronic pain James’ focus moved toward the learning of skills necessary to educate clients about how they could learn to actively take care of themselves thus reducing their illnesses and with them the bills and problems associated with stress born disease. It has always been James’ therapeutic goal to help relieve both the emotional and physical pain and distress that most people suffer from on a daily basis while empowering them spiritually to live happier, healthier lives.

Licensed in New York as a clinical Massage Therapist, James Ruff originally worked in physical rehabilitation centers alongside top doctors and physical therapists learning unique skills for pain relief and the rejuvenation of patient’s bodies after major trauma. This work soon lead him to a greater interest in emotional and spiritual rejuvenation and with many years working with people suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome, chronic diseases, the overcoming of alcohol and drug addiction. These experiences have left him accustomed to working with the challenges of spiritual disintegration due to life’s myriad of voltile experiences and the path toward empowerment working closely with survivors of physical, and sexual abuse, helping with HIV/AIDS, and assisting clients and families with their battle in overcoming cancer and when times require those suffering with late stages of malignant forms of these diseases.

In James’ own words “Working with and helping others infuses me with vitality. When someone smiles after our time spent I feel revitalized.”
