Don't overthink it, just GO! I had never done reformer Pilates before. I had a total knee replacement less than a year ago and questioned whether or not I could even handle it. I'm also a perfectionist and extremely hard on myself when trying new things. What could go wrong?
Then I met Robyn. She encouraged me to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! At first I felt a little clumsy and unsure. But whatever we did that first session, awkward or not, I felt the benefits right away. Each session I gained strength, mobility and confidence. That's what Robyn does. She has a way of making you feel comfortable doing uncomfortable things. She believed I could do things that I never would have thought I could. And I did!
She is an absolute pro at what she does. She works with professional athletes but also people like me. And I can assure you I feel I get just as much attention and effort as they do. It's her attention to detail, every tiny correction and prompt that gets you the most out of your time there while never making you feel out of place. I would have probably quit anywhere else thinking it was too much or that I didn't belong. Robyn is the reason I show up. She gives you everything she's got and gets the most out of you every time.
So don't hesitate. Book an appointment with Robyn and simply show up as yourself. She'll handle the rest!

Robyn at The Ritual is a knowledgeable and thoroughly vetted Pilates instructor. I have had 4 sessions with Robyn and I already see a significant improvement in my core strength, alignment, and appearance. I feel longer, leaner, and more attuned to my body. Bonus: Robyn is a lovely human being who has created a calming and sunny environment to welcome her clients.

My Thai Yoga Massage with Robyn was just exactly like all the wonderful things I had heard about her practice prior. She was very professional, skilled, intuitive, and put me at ease by walking me through the steps of the process in advance. I left feeling lighter, like I could breathe deeper, and aligned in my body, mind, and spirit I appreciated how she followed up to see how I was feeling the next day as well. I’ll definitely be back, and would highly recommend her self care/healing service to anyone.

While not a professional athlete, I push my body pretty hard with workouts and recreational sports. My work is also not the easiest on the body. Robyn and The Ritual has been the missing link in what I need to get through the aches and pains that inevitably creep up with a certain level of activity. She came recommended by my chiropractor and I’m so grateful.

I just had the most amazing Thai massage, and I’m beyond impressed! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calming and welcoming. The space was beautifully decorated with soothing tones, and the soft lighting immediately put me at ease.
The massage itself was incredible. Robin was skilled and attentive, using the perfect balance of deep pressure and gentle stretching. Each movement felt intentional, and I could tell she really listened to my body. The stretches were so rejuvenating, helping to release tension in all the right places, while the pressure relieved any knots I didn’t even know I had.
I let feeling completely rejuvenated and can't wait to return. If you’re looking for a therapeutic yet deeply relaxing experience, this Thai massage is an absolute must!

Robyn is incredible experienced and knowledgeable about the human body. Her hands and feet are so strong and move my body in the best ways. I feel confident and safe on how she works on my body for Thai Yoga sessions, understanding where my body needs extra attention. I leave feeling reenergized in my body and a couple of inches taller!

My son started working with Robyn after she was recommended to us by his Chiropractor to help him with lower back pain he was having after pitching. From the first session my son was hooked! Robyn asked a lot of questions to understand what was causing the pain and to understand what his goals were. During his first session, she carefully explained how to perform each movement and how it would help him. The gains in flexibility and strength have been tremendous and will continue to be a crucial part of his baseball training.

I have been working with Robyn for almost 2 years now and she has played a huge role in my velocity gains on the mound. She has helped me achieve new levels of flexibility and core strength by customizing the sessions based on the mechanics a pitcher needs to be successful. She is a fantastic instructor and motivates you throughout your session. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to take their fitness and flexibility to the next level.

I have forever tried to do yoga in the tradition setting but have never been able to make it work. Crowded classes and varying levels of instructor ability always made it difficult to for me. Working with Robyn changed all of that. When I leave a session, I feel amazing and actually tap into the calming energy that had previously eluded me. Do yourself a favor and book a session. You won’t regret it.

I'm hooked!!! Thai yoga massage is exactly what I have been needing in my life. I felt instantly relaxed and the feeling only deepened during the 90 minutes. I felt so great after the session and I continue to feel the benefits. My goal for trying this was to help with compression in my hips and lower back from sitting at a desk all day. The best way I can describe it is a functional massage. Instead of being massaged in a fixed position, you are stretched and massaged with your body in positions that mimic more life-like movements. You'll find yourself doing very little work as your body is fully supported by Robyn and/or pillows. Robyn created a warm, comfortable and intentional experience through her personality, intuition, knowledge, strength and the physical studio space. I can't wait to go back and Cincinnati is lucky to have her!

My Thai Yoga Massage with Robyn was divine. I felt very heard in my muscular and energy needs, thru verbal communication but also her intuition. The massage pressure was great, and varied with nice depth and relaxing touch. There were many little thoughtful touches that contributed to my relaxation; including the savasana with actual weighted blanket & sweet “live” weighted blanket, Whiskey, Robyn’s toy poodle. The space felt clean and smelled amazing, of intentional essential oils diffusing. I will definitely be gifting myself this self-care each month. 💖

I have been working with Robyn for about a year with Thai yoga massage and I am so grateful for the calming, healing space she creates. I used to get traditional massages for over a decade, but started to feel like they were not truly helping to address the underlying issues of muscle imbalances that were the root of my injuries & discomfort. Robyn is so kind and intuitive, listens & is truly understanding of what I might need that particular day. Her new space near Lunken is wonderful. I recently got the opportunity to do Thai yoga with Robyn + a private sound bath with Laura from @wildgardenwellness which was such a transcendent, calming experience during a very busy time. Robyn is a healer in every sense of the word and I am so grateful to have her here in Cincy.

I have been working with Robyn for couple of years. I have gone to pilates trainer in the past but one session with her and I was hooked. I even got my daughter hooked to pilates. I have back issues and she tailors the routine to help with any issues I am having. She is very passionate and great at her work.

Why have I not done this sooner! This was my first visit with Robyn and I absolutely loved it! I hold a great deal of tension in my back and shoulders and she was able to work through it step by step and release it all!
She made everything clear and easy to understand what she is doing each step. She is incredibly knowledgeable and made my first experience truly enjoyable!
Highly highly recommend seeing her!

I have been working with Robyn for years now and I can truly say there is no one better in the Cincinnati area. Being in the athlete world I’ve been exposed to a lot of different people in pilates and with Robyns knowledge and ability to be sport specific along with who she is as a person creates an environment that can meet any of your needs.

Worth every penny!!! Robyn has created such a beautiful and welcoming space, that the second you walk in the door you feel relaxed. Her Thai yoga massage is out of this world. Think assisted stretching meets massage. By the end you are in this space of ultimate relaxation and meditation where you’re not quite awake but not asleep either. Her knowledge of the body and body mechanics is top notch. She’s able to identity where you are tight and follow that to the origin to work out muscle tightness. I can’t recommend her Thai yoga massage enough!! Treat yourself or treat a loved one!

I have been going to see Robyn for years, whenever I am in town, for both Pilates & her Thai massage. The new space for The Ritual is a wonderful breath of fresh air. So spacious, clean, and also comfortable for a novice! Robyn’s expertise really shines through whenever I work with her - her attention to detail and meticulous care (recent leg injury) for her clients is second to none.

I have seen Robyn for Pilates regularly and Thai Yoga massage and she is incredible with both!
I initially booked Pilates with her because I was too scared to go to a group class, but I am hooked and will stick to her forever! I prioritize working with her because of how she is able to customize every session to me and what my body needs.
On top of her skills, she is a very kind and warm person who makes everyone welcome. She has transformed her space into a Pilates haven and it’s an enjoyable experience even when you get your booty kicked! And I always love that she pushes me to do things I wouldn’t do on my own 😊

I started seeing Robyn in December, 2020 for Thai yoga massages and it was one of the best decisions that I made for taking care of of my body. I get a massage once a month and in that time my range of motion has improved. Robyn even convinced me to see an orthopedic about my shoulder and with rehab and monthly massages my right shoulder is like brand new. Robyn is extremely professional, knowledgeable, nonjudgmental, and kind. I look forward to our monthly sessions. Thank you, Robyn. See you next month.

Love The Ritual, and cannot recommend Robyn enough! As a physical therapist, I’ve referred patients for bodywork and Pilates, and I do Pilates with her. She is highly skilled in meeting clients where they are, and accommodating any injury or impairment. You will struggle to find anyone as talented as Robyn in the area!

Robyn is THE best Pilates instructor I’ve ever worked with. She is intuitive, clear and engages muscle groups I never knew I had. Her thoughtfulness extends beyond her teaching, the space is clean and inviting. After one class I purchased a package of 10 classes, as I look forward to working with Robyn to achieve my fitness goals. Heads up, during baseball season, her work with the Reds team makes scheduling somewhat tricky. Book her time in advance; she’s well worth the wait.

My chiropractor recommend Robyn and I feel so lucky to have found her. Now that I have been working with her I can’t imagine trying to do Pilates any other way than 1:1. You would never learn the subtle but important things about your body and how to use it correctly without the hands on corrections and explanations that are part of a session. And the Thai massage is quite amazing. An excellent way to experience deep stretching!

Everything about this space is healing. The physical space is immediately relaxing in its natural tones while the plants and gentle diffusion seem to encourage deep slow breath. Robyn's energy and kindness allow for a level of comfort that calms any anxiety that comes in the door with me. Her skill with body work is immediately apparent and I leave feeling the most lovely combination of energized, balanced, and relaxed.

I recently started Pilates with Robyn. Robyn is very knowledgeable, an excellent instructor, fun to work with and most importantly to me, sensitive to the hyper mobility issues I have and able to work with me to gain strength without injury. She knows when to push you to work harder and when to try a different approach. It’s always an excellent workout.

I decided I wanted to supplement my high intensity and PT workouts with sessions that work on different areas/parts of my body and my sessions with Robyn have not disappointed!! I have been able to take both her Pilates and Thai Yoga one-on-one sessions and they were both everything I hoped for! Not only is Robyn professional, she also made me feel comfortable trying out these new workouts. Additionally, her space is very warm, relaxing and inviting. The whole experience of these sessions has truly been wonderful!
