Hi, I’m Ruby!
I help artists make and share their best work from a body that feels safe.
I’m an award-winning singer-songwriter, actor, author, coach, and founder of MuscleMusic. For 25 years, my voice was my lifeline – Shakespeare plays, 5 one-woman shows, touring the US, fronting a 10-piece band, winning Boston music awards, and even singing on the TED stage – while my nervous system quietly lived in survival mode.
At 35, my body finally hit the brakes; I couldn’t write or perform, and I was devastated. I dragged shame around like dead weight. This sent me deep into Polyvagal Theory, the science of safety, and years of research while rehabbing my own nervous system. My whole life changed, so I set out to provide new resources to fellow artists in need of a safer way to succeed.
That work became MuscleMusic, my Superplay Theory (The Fox Method), and the Nervous System & the Arts course: a groundbreaking, trauma-educated training that treats your body as your primary instrument, so your art, health, and income can safely coexist and last.
Why I work with artistsOur Revolution in the Arts
At MuscleMusic, we believe that the artist’s true instrument is the nervous system. Our mission is to empower artists of all disciplines, whether emerging, professional, or seeking renewal, to reclaim creative freedom by strengthening their nervous system with the same care and intentionality they devote to their craft.
We exist to transform the way artists relate to their inner world, turning shame into curiosity and dysregulation into clarity, resilience, and self-trust. Grounded in cutting-edge science, trauma-informed practices, and decades of real creative life experience, MuscleMusic provides education, community, and embodied tools that help artists struggle less and create more with safety, authenticity, and joy.
Our work bridges performance science and personal transformation. We teach artists to map, track, and intentionally shift nervous system states, on stage and off, so they can perform with presence, manage anxiety and stage fright, deepen connection with their audience, and sustain bold, innovative work throughout their careers.
We’re not here to fix artists. We’re here to train nervous systems. Through our programs, workshops, app, podcast, and community, we champion a new paradigm, one in which creativity is fueled by regulation, co-regulation, and embodied confidence, rather than fear, burnout, or self-criticism. MuscleMusic nurtures artists to become nervous system virtuosos, capable of thriving in every stage of their artistic journey.
