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 believe that anything you can imagine is real, including our perception of our body’s ability to heal itself. I am present with light, love & fluid techniques to guide you on your journey to self-discovery through touch.”
I became a massage therapist because I want to assist those who have chosen a path of self-care and wellness. I want to be a partner in my clients’ journeys, encouraging and aiding them in their unwinding of tension and pain, creating space for them to feel ease from within their bodies.
My aim is to tailor each massage to my client’s needs in that moment- combining technique, knowledge and intuition to address their concerns and requests for the session. 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!

◦◦ Specialties ◦◦
– TMJ focus: This work focusing on the release of pain & tension in the mouth & cheeks is achieved by working with the muscles, connective tissues and bony structures of the head, face, mouth and neck. Techniques are hands-on, light, and gentle, combining elements of craniosacral therapy and myofascial release. Tension is addressed from the inside of the client’s mouth (intraoral) as part of the session.
The client will remain fully clothed for the session, and will be positioned lying face up and then seated.
– 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 your body & allowing it to release restrictions and tension within the connective tissue and muscles.
DBB is performed clothed & seated, standing or lying down. Sessions are focused on restrictions in a target area of the body such as the hips, pelvis, torso, shoulders, neck or head. Possible outcomes are increased range of motion, decreased pain and tension, a stronger sense of core balance, stability and groundedness, and emotional healing.
There is a strong energetic element to Dynamic Body Balancing. Emotional release may occur as energy flow is re-established, if the root causes of physical restrictions are from emotional stressors.
