MuscleMusic Founder, Multi-Award Winning, and Mental Health Pioneer

“Many artists don’t struggle with stage fright. Instead, they struggle with “real fright,” meaning that networking, friendships, or finding mentors can feel impossible.

Many therapists struggle to relate to the extreme uncertainty that artists endure. Polyvagal work is a somatic approach that states that a community that understands you can radically transform your feeling of safety in the world and therefore your performance.

Real happiness and success only happen when we can access nervous system leadership and that takes dedicated practice. I want to show you that you can have a meaningful life and make a difference.

I'm passionate about helping artists get a whole lot more enjoyment out of life - on their own terms.”

Our Community

  • The maintenance of the nervous system health will revolutionize acting training by providing tools to manage the habitual trauma reactions that can be triggered by the work. Ruby Rose Fox's life as a performer combined with her research in Polyvagal theory provide unique insight into the specific application of these methods to the particular challenges of going onstage night after night. Her mindful approach to cultivating resiliency and self-compassion will ensure longevity and deepen our connection to our most unique and authentic creativity. I wish I had this knowledge as a young actor and will be using these techniques in the classroom for years to come.

  • Thank you Muscle Music. This project is so unique, nuanced , deep, well-researched, and effective! It is also playful! Muscle Music does something very magical and subtle, without promising to turn your life around and make you a "badass who can rule the world, in 20 days” etc:) Transformation via Social Media meme is not its mission. This is profound and subtle work through community, using the aid of simple. practical steps which grew out of scientific understanding of how our nervous system functions. The process of discovery through Muscle Music is meant to guide you towards long term resilience., not towards some abstract notion of “ultimate or instant success." It is also emphatically anti-culty, encouraging self knowledge and putting you in touch with your own experience. So refreshing! For me personally, perhaps this venture’s greatest asset is that it is led by an incredible and experienced artist, who truly gets and resonates with the artist’s dilemma, with all its vast riches, rewards, obstacles, challenges, and dare I say even traumas. In my experience you get vast value out of a Muscle Music membership! So grateful for this project, genuinely happy to be a member. Thanks Ruby!
