“I love all things musical and creative, and wish to share that with the world.”
With over 35 years of musical expertise, Ruth has performed extensively across the globe, from classical chamber ensembles to international bands. After a near-death experience, she discovered the profound healing power of sound beyond traditional music. This led her to delve into the world of sound healing, becoming a certified practitioner and member of the Australian Sound Healing Association.
Based in Yeronga, Brisbane, Ruth offers a diverse range of services via Luya Music – from playful baby music classes to deeply immersive sound baths, personalised music lessons, and gigs with her affiliate bands. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned musician, Luya Music has something for everyone.
