Hello, I’m Ruth.
For over 20 years, I’ve been passionate about helping people feel well in body, mind, and spirit. My journey began in 2002, when I qualified as a Reflexologist. I was amazed at the changes regular treatments brought—less stress, less pain, better sleep, a sense of balance returning.
My interest deepened quickly. I trained in Reiki in 2003 and went on to study holistic massage, Indian Head Massage, Hopi Ear Candling, eventually becoming a Reiki Teaching Master. For years, I offered these therapies to help people manage migraines, anxiety, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and the everyday stress so many of us carry.
But over time, I realised something important.
These treatments were powerful for relaxation and relief, but often, clients would come back with the same problems. The underlying stress, thought patterns, and emotional habits that created those issues were still there.
I knew that for real, lasting change, people need more than an hours treatment to rebalance and restore, They need the tools to connect with themselves, to quieten the noise, and to gently learn how to take more control of their own mind. It’s not about forcing dramatic or traumatic change. It’s about moving slowly, kindly, and at your own pace, so you can make conscious, empowering choices that truly last.
That’s why I shifted my focus to mindfulness and meditation.
Mindfulness is about paying kind, non-judgemental attention to what’s going on inside us—our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. It helps us spot the habits that keep us stuck in stress and overwhelm. Meditation gives us space to slow down, breathe, and respond more gently and wisely to life.
Together, they help us stop living on autopilot and start living with awareness and intention.
My mission with Kindfully You is to help women learn how to take back control of their wellbeing and truly empower themselves with these practices. I want to make mindfulness accessible and realistic, something you can weave into a busy, messy, very human life—not some perfect ideal of self-care that feels out of reach.
I’ve trained, and continue to train, with Breathworks, one of the world’s leading organisations for mindfulness teaching. I chose them because of their gentle, evidence-based, and deeply compassionate approach—one that really speaks to how we live day to day.
I want you to know this, too: I’m not a mindfulness guru sitting on a cloud of enlightenment. I’m as flawed as the next person.
Mindfulness and meditation have helped me realise it’s okay not to be the finished product. It’s okay to mess up, to be imperfect, to accept that I may never “get there” in some final, polished sense.
I’ve spent years struggling with anxiety and a mind that naturally wants to go in fifteen directions at once. I’ve experienced burnout, mental fatigue, brain fog, grief—and it hasn’t always been pretty. But I’ve also known love, joy, success, deep happiness and peace. I’ve laughed so hard, so many times, that my face has turned bright tomato-red and I had to leg it to the loo before my bladder gave out.
Mindfulness makes all of it better. It reminds me I have the power to choose what I want to feel, what I want to think, and who I want to be.
If you’ve ever felt burnt out, anxious, overwhelmed, or like you’re endlessly putting others first while you run on empty—I’d love to support you.
Because you deserve the same care, kindness, and understanding you so often give to everyone else.
