Customizing each session to his client’s style, preferences and needs.
Alejandro is a Colombian-born Canadian citizen who traveled to Boulder solely for the purpose of learning the trade of massage therapy. After thriving successfully for 10 years, Alejandro moved to the greater Austin Area to share his passion in an area closer to family.
Throughout his life, Alejandro has competed at high levels as an athlete in both organized sport and just for fun. He understands the tolls stress and life events can take on the body. He has personal experience being treated and treating many ailments, relieving pain symptoms, down regulating the nervous system and eliciting the relaxation response.
Throughout his massage career, Alejandro has learned that no two sessions are alike. Everyone has their own set of life experiences and a unique relationship to their body, which deeply affects their personal massage style preferences and needs. This understanding has enabled Alejandro to utilize his training and extensive life experience to tailor each massage session to the needs of his clients. From treatment-oriented bodywork, the soothing and relaxing Swedish massage with fluid three dimensional contact and to accessing a more energy-based multilayered approach of Reiki and chakra balancing, Alejandro loves blending styles and using the tools he has learned to better fit the needs of his clients.
Alejandro graduated from the 1,000-hour program at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 2008, and received his Associates in Occupational Studies (AOS) in 2009.
Alejandro’s gifts range far and wide; his presence, smile and welcoming demeanor will always make you feel at ease. In his spare time he loves to spend time in his garden, learning, camping, exercising by playing, yoga and contemplating the meaning of life’s little wonders.
“I believe in the innate wisdom of the body; given an adequate platform of support, motivation, and guidance, I believe the human body can heal, excel and thrive in today’s stressful society.” Alejandro Ruiz

I approach my work with professionalism and care, met with compassion and a gentle nature.
I cannot make anyone feel better, but I can help if you want to feel better!
◦◦◦◦◦ Style and Pressure ◦◦◦◦◦
My touch is often described as gentle, delicate and soothing, and my approach as professional, detailed and attentive. I approach the body with light to medium pressure, and engage with both the physical tissue and the electrical field of the client. I employ a variety of techniques and modalities to bring about change, unique to each client and each session.

– TMJ focus: This work focuses on releasing restrictions in the jaws, mouth and surrounding areas for greater range of motion and comfort of movement. It is achieved by working with the muscles, connective tissues and bony structures of the head, face, mouth and neck. Techniques are light and gentle, combining elements of craniosacral therapy and myofascial release. Muscles may be addressed from inside of the mouth (intraoral) as part of the session. The client will remain fully clothed for the session.
– Dynamic Body Balancing (DBB): This is a gentle, active and non-invasive form of hands-on therapy. Techniques are grounded in craniosacral therapy and myofascial unwinding. DBB is performed with gentle & flowing movement, mobilizing the body to first identify restrictions and then to work through releases within the connective tissue and muscles.
DBB is performed clothed and either seated, standing or lying down. Sessions are focused on a target area of the body such as the hips, pelvis, torso, shoulders, neck or head. Goals for these sessions are increased range and quality of motion, decreased pain and tension, stronger core balance, physical stability, energetic groundedness, and emotional healing.
There is a strong energetic element to Dynamic Body Balancing. Emotional release may occur if the root causes of physical restrictions are from emotional stressors.

Peace be with all of us. May we stay blessed in the light throughout our journeys.
