When Melissa Allen founded Rubystar Healing Arts, she envisioned something more than just a physical place for healing. “My vision and intention for Rubystar is to hold space for, anchor and increase light and love on the earth to help heal the world,” she says.

A spiritual psychotherapist and healer, Allen supports her vision by offering a broad array of services designed to help clients grow, expand and cultivate their best selves, inside and out. Rubystar offers spiritual consulting, psychic readings, vibrational energy healing, intuitive massage, yoga, healing retreats and face and body beauty services, along with a variety of classes and events. Wellness products and gifts, including crystals and essential oils, are also available there.

“Visitors to Rubystar experience the embodiment of this energy designed to uplift them, expand their energy field, and create positive shifts in their being,” Allen says. “They maximize their human potential by connecting more deeply with the divine flow each time they visit.”

Rubystar also serves as a private event space for sacred gatherings or soirees, from baby and bridal showers to psychic readings and yoga parties.

“Regardless of which practitioner you spend time with, service you receive or event you participate in, the healing energy of Rubystar will enhance your overall vitality, beauty, spirit and joy,” Allen says.

Located at 47 E. Market St. in Rhinebeck, Rubystar is open Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m. and 24/7 by appointment. For more information, call 845.876.LOVE or visit RubystarHealingArts.com.
