**Heaven Sent**

My session with James was a divine appointment and answered prayer. I experienced a fusion of spiritual and energetic balance, with sound therapeutic massage techniques. I felt nurtured, blessed, and revitalized. I wish I had a magic button that could bring me on the spot "James therapy":)

Wonderful, Thank You James!

I seriously recommend him to anyone who seeks balance, healing, and overall wellness

A great massage

by BrianBW

My neck and shoulders were killing me from the holiday stresses of Christmas preparation. I woke up this morning unable to move my head or neck much at all and called James Ruff in desperation. My body immediately relaxed during and after the session and through the day I felt the tension releasing and my muscles softening.Now only a few hours later I feel like I never had a problem to begin with. This was an excellent experience and I look forward to going back.

An Amazing Experience Awaits You...

The massages I have experienced at the hands of James Ruff are other-worldly and don't belong to the language I shall use to describe them. So, as you read my review I ask you to accept that fact that I have experienced something magical, something that I cannot describe, something that has yet to be named.

I've sought James's expertise several times to get relief for my aching muscles and joints. And each time he soothed not only my body but also my soul. Through several stages of the massage I found myself on the verge of joyous tears as James's nurturing, healing hands realigned my body and touched me in places far deeper than deep tissue.

James's knowledge and skill surpass all other massage therapists I've experienced. And his caring, intuitive touch makes me grateful and ecstatic to be alive.

I have referred friends to James and highly recommend his service.

• Pros: convenient location
• Cons: I'm not rich enough to enjoy more of James's massages

Replacement Neck

by JJluver

great, timely and accurate. No one has ever been able to give me this much relief from pain in one session. I work a high stress job where I am stuck at the computer day in and day out and was suffering from severe pain that was causing me vision problems and migraines. After one session I feel like I was released of several years of build-up. James was honest and told me it may take a while to correct my problem, but I don't think he knows just how much he helped. I will be back very soon.

Thank you.

I definitely got what I came for, and so much more.

by rachlinn

?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.?

• Pros: great service, ambience, ability
