About Lina Ruiz
I attended Healing Hands school in Laguna Hills, CA. Since 2014, I have been a licensed massage therapist, specializing in Reiki healing, medical and oncology massage.
The main focus around my private practice is injury prevention and improving overall health and well-being through hands-on therapy.
My advanced training and experience allows me to offer medical massage therapy where care is focused on healing injuries, decreasing pain and improving function. Medical massage is an outcome-based massage and includes different techniques and procedures to target specific medical conditions.
In addition to medical massage, I have a certification in oncology massage. Oncology massage is a comfort-oriented massage therapy based on both compassion and individualized treatment. This is an approach to help people manage their experience with cancer, or help individuals with a history of it.
Light touch and slow, steady movements are used to help the body relax and bring benefits to mind, body and spirit.
To further supplement my practice, I have a degree in Reiki, a Japanese form of energy healing. This energy-based therapy supports your body’s natural ability to heal, working with standard medical care.
Through no manipulation of tissue, healing energy is transferred through gentle touch of the practitioner to the patient. Benefits of this therapy include deep relaxation, reduced anxiety and stress, improved healing and support for well-being.
I am proud of the level of physical and emotional healing, health and well-being my practice has brought to my patients over the years. I am constantly driven to elevate my practice to enhance the lives of others.
My teachers and mentors
Alberto Villoldo
Alberto Villoldo is one of my teachers in shamanic energy medicine. Through his work, I learned how to combine ancient Andean wisdom with modern healing practices to support deep emotional and energetic transformation.
Sadhguru
Sadhguru's teachings helped me understand the deeper connection between body, mind, and energy. I learned how inner balance affects every aspect of well-being. This has made me a more present and intuitive healer.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Thich Nhat Hanh taught me that healing begins with awareness and gentle presence. I learned to listen deeply and be fully there for others. This has made me a more patient and caring healer.
Q´ero Shamans
Shamans from Peru are spiritual healers—often called curanderos or paqos—who work with energy, nature, and ancient traditions to bring healing to the body mind and spirit
Donna
Inspired by Donna Eden, I incorporate chakra healing to help balance and support the body's energy. These gentle techniques allow me to restore flow and promote overall well-being in my practice.
