  • Overcoming fears of perfectionism as one pursues a dream with Sue Ruhe

    Susan Ruhe is a BA and an RMT. She is an intuitive, myofascial release therapist, who taps into the physical and emotional traumas that lie deep within ourselves. She has been evolving her practice for over 15 years, helping her clients shift restricted areas found within the fascial matrix, to create more fluidity and alignment with the body. In doing so, she has been able to help her clients overcome the anxiety and trauma that they unknowingly hang on to, so that they can move beyond it. In 2020, when she was locked out of her beloved career, she transitioned into a virtual space, where she now teaches and guides clients on how to access their fascia system using their own hands.

    Sue lives in London, Ontario in Canada, with her partner Jarrett and their daughter Avalina. She was recently published in a book called ‘The Great Canadian Woman - She is strong and free’. She is the co-host of the Everybody holds a story podcasts and the collaborative book project. Ultimately, her mission is to help guide the next generation of humans in understanding and loving their bodies.

    In this episode, Sue speaks about her journey from dancing at a young age, while competing in Highland dancing to becoming an RMT (Registered Massage Therapist). She also talks about overcoming fears and life’s expectations that cause a sense of perfectionism as one pursues a dream or career. She emphasizes the importance of tapping into one’s higher self and listening to one’s intuition or soul, while on such a journey.  She then thoroughly describes what fascial massage is all about and talks about how one can do it on their own.

We discuss the fact that it is a hard thing to do for a big organization but that doesn't mean it's impossible. And it doesn't mean it can't be done. We discuss intimacy as the solution and dealing with ego as our biggest overhead cost.
