“The maintenance of nervous system health will revolutionize acting training by providing tools to manage the habitual trauma reactions that can be triggered by the work. I wish I had this knowledge as a young actor and will be using these techniques in the classroom for years to come.”

“Nervous system work revolutionizes my understanding of the control I have over my own reality.”

“Ruby’s work has changed my life. I’ve felt my nervous system shift up the polyvagal ladder and my set point permanently change from her work and classes. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a way for my body and mind to make sense of past experiences in theater. I wish this work was around 15+ years ago, but I’ll share it with every artist I know now. Give yourself the gift of sitting with this work and returning to it whenever the journey gets tough.”

“The process of discovery through MuscleMusic guides you toward long-term resilience, not some abstract notion of instant success. It is emphatically anti-culty, rooted in self-knowledge and direct experience. Ruby truly understands the artist’s dilemma—the riches, rewards, challenges, traumas—and you get vast value out of this work.”

“Ruby opened so many doors for me and helped me understand how creativity, performance, and the mind–body–spirit connection work together. She helped me realize that my real instrument is my nervous system. I'm forever grateful.”

“This methodology doesn’t ask people to contort themselves to rules—it teaches them to tune into their own. I’ve named and unshamed so many sources of artistic dysregulation. As an artist, it has been transformative to realize ‘I am my canvas,’ and understanding my canvas has shifted how I create in a way that feels better.”

“MuscleMusic has transformed my life—professionally, creatively, and personally. Every artist can benefit from this work.”

“Ruby's MuscleMusic bridged the gap in my 25+ years as a performing artist where no therapy could. It gave me a clear picture of my nervous system states in all circumstances and tools to excel as a performer and nervous system leader. It’s been radical freedom.”

“MuscleMusic reshaped my relationship with performing and gave me language to understand what I was experiencing. Learning my nervous system has been life-changing.”

“The MuscleMusic program and its polyvagal techniques have been transformative. I now feel like I have a roadmap for moving forward in all areas of life, and I can't wait to start performing again. I'm truly grateful for this journey of healing and self-discovery.”

“Before the Fox Method, I couldn’t edit my book without dysregulating myself into Freeze. MuscleMusic taught me to regulate into safe and social states, enter Flow and Superplay, and make my art joyfully. Ruby's deep knowledge and compassionate coaching have been life-changing.”

“MuscleMusic not only helped me regulate my own nervous system while writing my novel—it helped me understand and navigate my characters' nervous system states.”

“Ruby's certification course was exactly the context I needed to understand what was happening to my body and brain on stage. While I had some of the pieces, Ruby stitched it together beautifully to help me understand the whole picture of my nervous system. I am grateful for all the knowledge she has imparted, while also fostering a beautiful community of artists who are trying to navigate the stage in a healthy way.”
