About the Program

After decades of experience, Ruth has designed this program to replicate, as closely as possible, the process you would take if you had private consultations with her. 

The program enables you to make the deep neuro-physiological changes in your brain and nervous system to rewire the root causes of your FD (also known as the musician´s dystonia, writer´s cramp, cervical dystonia, oromandibular dystonia, focal dysphonia, the yips, blepharospasm, embouchure dystonia, runner’s dystonia, dartitis…). It includes 52 weekly modules. It is recommended that you dedicate a minimum of 15 minutes per day to it.

By joining the program today, you will receive:

  • Daily videos and exercises which explain in detail all the steps Ruth takes with her clients.

  • Daily journal pages to record your progress.

  • Access to a monthly 2 hour group video call directly with Ruth.

You are about to embark on a truly beautiful path and each moment on it has the potential to fill you with miracles and tremendous insights.

Client Transformations

But who better to tell you about it than people who have benefitted from the profound transformation this program creates:

“If you have focal dystonia and have come looking for help, look no further, you have come to the right place. 
I´ve personally suffered from focal dystonia for over 15 years. I´ve sought out help many times before from other focal dystonia gurus – that search stopped the moment I found Ruth. I have absolutely no doubt that she can help any focal dystonia sufferer. Ruth, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
— Gonçalo de Oliveira Crespo
Guitar and Music School Owner

Inside the Program

In the program, Ruth explains in detail all the steps she takes with her clients. She does so in five different types of bite-sized videos:

  1. Educational: the scientific explanations of the causes and solutions of your focal dystonia in everyday language, backed by research. 
  2. Exercises: to guide you step-by-step through to resolution.
  3. Demonstrations: You will watch Ruth guiding clients through the exercises to see how to do them and also how to overcome the common difficulties that people find along the way.
  4. Clients Speak: she has handed the mic over to clients who have successfully used the program so that they can share their learning, tips, wisdom and experience directly with you.
  5. Case studies: The program is sprinkled with case studies of the experience of real clients who have successfully worked with Ruth.

    Remember that included in your membership is a monthly 2 hour group video call with Ruth.

“Ruth Chiles’ deep understanding of focal dystonia and the recovery techniques that she offers have been nothing short of miraculous for me. I have gone from the terror and despair and disability of focal dystonia in my right hand to full recovery of my hand and my life.”
— Audrey Bell
Artist and Guitarist

Let Ruth explain more in her own words:

Ruth´s passion, compassion and unique perspective of having dealt with focal dystonia herself, gives her the ability to drill down to the root of dystonic symptoms. The exercises she has provided have helped me down the path to recovery from focal dystonia. It has been my absolute pleasure to have worked with her as a personal client.”
