It has been my pleasure to have done body/mind work with James Ruff over the past years. I find James to be well beyond his years in knowledge and perception. He understands and continues to study physiological patterns and psychological needs of the human condition. I often feel like I appear at his door saying “Here is my back, shoulders, arms, my legs, my brain, my heart, etc. They feel stressed and fragmented. This has been a tough week. Please put them back together!” He does! Thus, he seems to gear his work towards the individual’s needs and goals.

I honestly feel he has been a very important part of my health and happiness in these past years. I greatly respect his work and would recommend him to any person, at any age.

If I had to give one piece of advice to a busy New Yorker who is in desperate need of a quick escape from the chaos of the everyday, it is this: go see James. I went to see James because I wanted to give myself a treat – to give my body a gift: I definitely got what I came for, and so much more.

After my one-hour massage, I left feeling physically relieved and relaxed, and mentally energized. James focused primarily on the area which I had asked him to help me with (my neck and shoulders) – but he also made sure that the rest of my body was alleviated of stress and put in sync – he made me feel better from head to toe – literally. While I do not know the formalities of what he was doing, it was evident that James had an unbelievable knowledge of the body and its mechanisms. My massage incorporated several different elements – including stretching and, what I know as more “traditional” massage techniques.

Not only is the massage phenomenal, but the whole setting is also lovely. The room is soothing and the entire ambiance that James creates, with music and discrete scents, is just wonderful – he creates at atmosphere in which it is impossible to feel uncomfortable – it is a quiet and safe environment, where one senses that healing (whether minor or major) can really begin.

It’s very clear that James cares for, and sincerely wants to help, his clients – he wants to do his part to make their lives more comfortable, and enjoyable. And in this goal, I think, he surely succeeds.
