Ru Emmons is a bodyworker and somatics practitioner from Pittsburgh, PA. They are a white, queer, trans, jewish, anti-capitalist, owning-class person. Ru dreams of a world where we can all prioritize healing. They believe deeply that we all hold the tools that we need to heal ourselves and build a more balanced and connected world. They found their way to massage therapy through social justice and environmental work, as they realized that focusing inward is just as important as focusing on what is affecting us out in the world. In working on their own healing, they have discovered the additional power we can embody when we give ourselves enough space to be our best selves. They are studying somatics work with Somatic Experiencing and now offer one-on-one somatic sessions as well as group classes.
