I’ve been spending more time creating lately and it’s reminding me how connected all of this really is. The massage therapist in me, the mover, the maker, the creator… we all speak the same language. Release. Breathe. Let something move through instead of holding it tight.

When I’m with a client, I guide their body into softness. When I’m painting, I guide myself there. These affirmation pieces have become a quiet reset for me. Layers of color and texture, intuition and breath, helping me refill my own cup in a way I didn’t realize I needed.

Art has become another form of healing. Another way I listen. Another way I let myself exhale.

If you see a piece that speaks to you, reach out. I’d love to create something that feels like a little release and a little grounding just for you.

Inside the Pop-Up Class

This class is a place to meet yourself again.
We start with breath, then shift into intuitive exploration where each movement prompt becomes a doorway inward. These prompts aren’t instructions. They’re invitations. You choose what they become in your body.

Some people move a lot. Some hardly move at all. Both are real. Both are valid.
What matters is what you notice. The physical release that comes when your body finally lets go. The energetic unwinding that happens when you stop bracing and start listening.

This practice helps you feel what you’ve been holding and move it through with honesty and softness.

If you’ve been craving space without expectation, this pop up class is for you.
The date will be announced very soon.

Why This Practice Matters

We carry tension we never name. Tight shoulders. Shallow breath. A body that keeps holding even when the mind says it’s fine.

Authentic Movement gives you space to let some of that go. You move without performing. You follow sensation instead of pushing through. You let your body speak.

This is the essence of the Mindy Ruddock Method.
Mobility with meaning.
Breath that guides.
Softness that strengthens.
Movement that reconnects you to yourself.

A pop up class is coming soon so you can experience this work in real time. More details on the way.

What Is Authentic Movement?

Most of us move on autopilot. We lift, stretch, teach, cue, coach, and push. But we rarely pause long enough to ask, “What does my body want right now?”

Authentic Movement is the opposite of performing. You close your eyes, breathe, and let your body lead. No right or wrong. No choreography. No pressure to look a certain way.

It’s movement that rises from sensation instead of expectation.
A quiet place to hear your own inner cues again.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in your head, this practice can be the reset you didn’t realize you needed.

More coming soon.

Introducing MRM
MRM is the Mindy Ruddock Method, a blend of movement, recovery work, breath, and mindful awareness. It is a grounded approach to helping the body release tension and find better balance. We have chatted a little about this already, but there is so much more coming.

Stay tuned as I share more about how this method came to be and what it looks like as I begin offering it in workshops. MRM is designed to support your body and your energy in a sustainable way, whether you are a practitioner or a client. More classes and offerings are on the way.

It’s been a quiet stretch here. My sweet cat, Boo, recently crossed the rainbow bridge, and I’ve been giving myself time to grieve and honor that space. Loss has a way of softening us — reminding us to pause, breathe, and feel what’s real. I’ll be easing back into sharing soon, with gratitude for this community and all the ways we hold space for one another. 🌿

Samhain Energy

The air feels different today, carrying both stillness and possibility. Samhain is the threshold between endings and beginnings, a time to use the energy around you for transformation.

During the day I will move slowly, letting my body guide what needs to release. Breath, stretch, or simply walk in silence. This evening I will gather that energy inward, a candle, a bath, a crystal to anchor my focus, and set one clear intention for what I want to grow through the darker months ahead.

This is a powerful time to turn inward, listen to your intuition, and use what rises to support your next chapter.

Every session begins long before your client walks through the door.

It starts with the lighting, the scent, the energy of the room — the way you ground yourself before holding space for someone else.

Creating a healing space isn’t about perfection; it’s about intention.
It’s about crafting an environment that speaks safety to the body and calm to the mind.

Take a moment before your next client to check in —
đź’« What energy does your space hold?
đź’« What feeling do you want your client to carry home?

Because the work we do doesn’t start on the table —
It starts in the atmosphere we create.

The Practitioner’s Path is open for exploration.
Right now inside, you’ll find free foundational “classes” — starting with The Art of Grounding.

This lesson dives into what it really means to feel anchored in your work as a healer, therapist, or wellness professional — and how to recognize when you’ve drifted from your center.

✨ For a limited time, you can join free for one month to explore the space, connect with other aligned practitioners, and experience the work that helps you build steadiness from the inside out.

Our community is hosted on Skool, making it simple to join, connect, and grow at your own pace.

Come explore, listen, reflect, and reconnect to your foundation.
Let’s start the conversation:
What helps you stay grounded when the work gets heavy?

When I graduated from massage school, I never imagined where this path would take me. Back then, I was the former dancer who massaged — moving from the structure of choreography to the flow of bodywork. I had no idea that one day I’d build not just one, but two thriving businesses.

One I built from the ground up.
The other I took over — and watched it grow, transform, and flourish into something far beyond what it once was.

Both journeys have taught me the same truth: your brand is more than a logo or color palette. It’s your story. It’s how you show up. It’s how people feel when they work with you.

Over the years, my story has shifted — from therapist to teacher, from business owner to mentor. And through it all, I’ve learned that the real strength of a brand comes from authenticity, alignment, and boundaries.

That’s what I’ll be sharing in my upcoming workshop, Branding & Boundaries for Healers, on Sunday, November 2 at The Wellness Path.

If you’re a business owner, holistic practitioner, esthetician, or student who’s ready to define your story and grow from a grounded place — this is for you.

My Story

My path has been a long and winding adventure. Over time I have come to realize how much I enjoy helping people and how much it benefits my well being. In 2009 I injured my calf muscle while teaching dance, which was my first love and was faced with some difficult decisions that with out the support of my husband I do not think I could have made. It was at that time that I decided I would enroll in massage school. As I began learning how to use my hands to heal I began healing so much in myself. Positivity was returning in my everyday life and I was good at what I was doing. My healing has gone so much farther than I thought it could.

The path I am on now feels natural to me, it feels like this is what I was designed to do. I want to help women of all ages create and find wellness in their lives through healing and crystal work. If there is more you would like to know about me or The Wellness Path please reach out.
