Ruth Nadia practises NO HANDS® massage.
This is an approach to massage that is different to most other massage. NO HANDS Massage uses the practitioner's body weight and gravity, with the contact point usually being the forearm (but sometimes the shoulder, leg, knee or elbow). This means you can receive a very deep massage, that is somehow soft at the same time. (You can also have it very light, if that is what you prefer).
By using body weight, rather than muscles, it is zero strain on the practitioner, so Ruth Nadia can massage all day long without any aching fingers or joints. NO HANDS Massage originates from Gerry Pyves, as outlined in "The Principles and Practice of No Hands Massage" (Pyves 2000).
Your session will begin a chance to explain exactly what you would like out of your massage. The massage is then prepared, based on what you have requested. No two treatments are the same; whether you want deep work on a specific area, or a general full body massage, and some time to yourself to be cared for.
You might want:
- a full body massage
- back and shoulders
- a reflex treatment
- a colon massage
- a leg massage
- reiki
- massage specifically for pregnant women
- any combination of the above, or something completely different.
The massages are with oil, but clothed massages are available, if you would prefer.

COVID-19 UPDATE
While COVID-19 is prevalent in the UK, Ruth Nadia will instead be offering telephone listening.
The sessions will be similar to the start of a massage session, where you have the space to talk about how you are and what you would like. It's 45 uninterrupted minutes dedicated to you.
You won't be judged, you won't be told what to do, you will just have you the space to find your own truth. All calls will be confidential.
Ruth Nadia says: "Yes, it's rubbish that touch is cancelled for now, because touch is so healing, but I'm also excited because it means I can work with people who live all over the place, not just near to Leeds."
So spread the word, and get in touch, especially if you wouldn't normally be able to get to her for a massage.
Prices
£10 for 45 minutes for the first 5 clients to sign up.
After which, the cost will be re-assessed.
