Reflexology & Massage Therapy

Ruth Huchrak-Thomas
Holistic Reflexology and Massage Therapist at Stillpoint Bath

Ruth Huchrak-Thomas is a talented holistic therapist specialising in both reflexology and massage therapy. She’s been practicing reflexology and holistic massage since she was 22 years old, when she graduated with a Diploma from the International Institute of Health and Holistic Therapies (IIHHT). Ruth has a passion for helping people relax and feel their best, and she’s been doing it for over 20 years!

Before becoming a full-time mother to her four children, Ruth worked in production and sales at Future Publishing for seven years. During this time, she also offered reflexology and massage treatments in the evenings and on weekends from her ‘zen’ treatment room at home. She found so much joy and satisfaction in providing her clients with a calming escape from their busy lives.

After taking a break from her therapy work to focus on raising her family, Ruth missed her beloved practice and began offering treatments again in 2018.

Ruth firmly believes that reflexology is an amazing holistic treatment that can benefit both physical health and mental wellbeing. It works by freeing up blocked energy pathways and congestion build-up, which can stimulate nerve function, boost energy, improve circulation, and more. She’s seen first-hand how it can speed up recovery after injury or surgery, relieve sleep disorders, and help with menopausal and hormonal imbalances.

Being a holistic therapist, during her massages Ruth uses a combination of techniques, Swedish, Shiatsu acupressure and aromatherapy. These are used to encourage physical and mental harmony. Nowadays, the importance of combined physical and mental well-being is well recognised.

With your muscles loosened by a hands-on massage, your blood flow will increase. This improved circulation has a range of benefits that extend well beyond physical health.

A massage can help the body reduce the toxins in its muscle tissue, providing relief from muscular pain. For your massage, you choose what areas of your body you’d like Ruth to focus on during your hour-long treatment. It may be full body or just upper or lower back. With positive physical and mental effects, a massage will reduce tension, leaving you feeling more relaxed, you will shed tension you didn’t know you were holding on too.

Combining a range of holistic therapies can help to improve quality of sleep, release endorphins, a feel-good hormone, balance hormone’s, calm the nervous system which will help ease anxiety & stress! Ruth is passionate about what she does and is excited to join the team at Stillpoint and share her deeply relaxing treatments with new clients. When you book a session with her, you can expect to walk in feeling stressed and float out feeling rejuvenated and revitalised!
