Happy 5th birthday to my one and only 🩵

This little ray of sunshine (and rage at times 🤣) is my 'why'. Of course, my mission still stands to raise collective consciousness, give people a safe space to heal and be nurtured etc. but underneath all of that is him.

I'm not just talking about being a financial provider (although of course that's also important), but I started this business, in part at least, to show my future children (or child, I'm done now 🤣) that you don't have to sacrifice yourself for your work.

You can have your cake and eat it.

You can do something you love AND get paid. You can choose your own schedule AND make a living. You can listen to the gentle whispers of your deeper purpose AND turn it into work.

So today I'm filled with gratitude because you guys are the glue that keeps my life together. Today (and every day), I get to go and collect my little love from school (instead of having to stuff him in after school club) and we get to spend time together as a family ❤️

That is priceless ✨

Why we start with the nervous system when you're recovering from trauma ✨

12/01/2026

This is what a balanced nervous system looks like 👀 (or one that's on the way at least...)

See, having a balanced nervous system is the key to literally unlocking your entire life. If you're deep in survival mode:

✨ Your pre-frontal cortex goes offline. Meaning your ability to use logic and reason to make sound judgements goes out of the window. Hello bad decisions 🤦

✨ You are more likely to abandon yourself to please others out of anxiety of being abandoned (this is especially true for those of us with unresolved trauma)

✨ You struggle to form and maintain healthy relationships because you're relating from a place of fear, not grounded connection

✨ Your stress tolerance and capacity for life becomes seriously depleted, making even simple tasks feel insurmountable

So what's to be done?

You need to feel safe in your body again. Sometimes you need to take action (like setting boundaries) for safety to return, but sometimes you need to feel safe enough to take action in the first place, which is why we start with the body.

Why massage, mindfulness and reiki all work:

✨ Safe, therapeutic touch floods your body with oxytocin, and slows the heart rate, both of which help the body to slip into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest)

✨ Mindfulness teaches you to be present to your thoughts and experiences in the present moment, so you can be vigilant to your repeating patterns and stop them in their tracks

✨ Reiki works on all planes, the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. So whatever it is you're needing, we put our trust in the universe that the energy will be delivered to wherever it is most needed for healing. Deeply relaxing in nature, this exercise in trust helps us to release the need to control and assign meaning when life feels chaotic (caveat: I can only give reiki to existing clients/friends at the moment. Reiki 2 coming later this year)

See you in the studio 💜✨

We're fully embracing hot chocolate and blanket season here ❄️ cold days mean snuggling up and getting warm together ❤️

Just a reminder that this is a great time to do the preparatory work for your rebirth in spring. It's a great time to journal, a great time to increase your meditation if this is something you practice, and also a great time to get your nervous system back into balance, so you're in better alignment with your true self come the time for natural inspiration to arise.

I've still got some availability this month for us to explore that helps you to relax the most. For me, I love a combination of guided meditation to help ease me into relaxation before deep tissue massage. Deep pressure really stimulates my parasympathetic response and sends me into a deep state of calm. But for you it might be a hot stone massage followed by hair brushing. Everyone's preferences are unique; my job is simply to work with you to create a space for your body to fully let go and heal itself.

See you in the studio 💆‍♀️

Hustling your way into 2026?

F*** that!

Your feed is likely awash at the moment with coaches cheering you on to pull your finger out and live your best year yet...

Now whilst there's nothing wrong with wishing someone a better year, the timing is all wrong...

We are seasonal creatures, just like the plants, trees and animals, and it is, by definition, mid-winter.

Coaches are pushing for you to learn the tools to make your first 10k month, meanwhile the doormice are sleeping deeply. Everyone is talking about making New Year resolutions, meanwhile the trees lay bare with little sign of life.

Does this not strike you as a little odd?

New Year New You messages have you taking a salad for lunch and going to the gym on your break, even though the decreased light levels are telling our body to rest more, and what we naturally crave is warming foods with higher carbohydrate content.

This isn't an accident, it's nature in action.

We are supposed to be taking in more calories, we are supposed to be sleeping more, we are supposed to be going slower, engaging less socially and enjoying the comfort of being at home when it's cold outside. This is natural behaviour. Yet we continually fight against it and then wonder why our goals don't come off and we're just left feeling exhausted.

Try to see winter as a preparation period. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is rest. Rest your body so that you can build your strength and work on your physical goals when your body is biologically aligned with the seasons to do so. Rest your mind, so that your nervous system can find deep peace and balance in preparation for the push that comes naturally with spring time renewal and rebirth. Rest your heart, and in that reflection and spaciousness reconnect with your truest desires, so that your goals come spring time are aligned, not forced by what you think you ought to be doing.

Big Love 💜✨

Happy New Year one and all ✨

I'm not one for New Year's resolutions. I'm still in hibernation mode which means reflection, course correcting and perhaps some very loose, very gentle intentions setting.

You're going to start seeing a lot of posts about what everyone has achieved this year and what everyone hopes to achieve in the coming year. Please don't be sucked into playing the social media comparison game.

My advice is this. There is nothing wrong with having material desires. If there's a job you want, go for it, if you want that bigger house, by all means, work towards it. But don't pin your happiness on the outcome.

Learn to be easily pleased. This doesn't make you devoid of ambition, but it does allow you to feel joy in the mundane, in the everyday, to feel connection even when the s**t hits the fan. Nomatter how big your dreams, don't lose sight of this. The sound of the birds singing first thing on a morning, the smell of clean laundry, the comfort of sinking into your own bed after a long day, the warmth you feel inside being held by a loved one.

Enjoy the spoils of human material existence, we're here to play after all, until we return home at the end of our physical existence, but know that if all you achieved this year was getting through it, that was more than enough.

Here's hoping 2026 is a healthy, happy and peaceful year for everyone ❤️✨

Sometimes we just need the right message at the right time and this one really resonated.

I know that when Christmas festiveness is unavoidable, it can be easy to feel that you're somehow failing if you're not 'in the spirit'. But the fact is, life happens nomatter what time of year it is, or what day it is.

If you don't feel like sending a Christmas card this year, don't. If you want Tacos for Christmas dinner, go for it. But if times are tough for you this year, you're not failing and you're not alone.

Lean on those you need to, find the little glimmers of joy in the everyday, and know that this too shall pass.

All my love 🫂💜✨

Cosy and inviting ✨

Due to winter illness cancellations, I still have some slots available between now and my Christmas break 🙌

As always, there will be a warm smile waiting for you, a treatment to shift you from 'doing' into 'being', and even a little Christmas gift for you to enjoy 🥰

Check out available slots on the website, or message me on WhatsApp: 07999107788

Hoping everyone is well and starting to feel the festive spirit! 🎄

30/11/2025

Really starting to miss these spring days already, but embracing the slowing down that comes with the natural turn of the seasons.

Just as the trees need to let go of their leaves to grow anew in the spring, we too need to make time to let go of what no longer serves us to make way for new growth.

I love to take this time to reflect on the year almost passed and start to set some gentle intentions for the year ahead and will certainly be taking some time over the next few weeks to do just that.

As we move into what can be a hectic period for many of us, I want to take a moment to give you all a gentle reminder that you need to take time to stop too. Your mind, your body and your nervous system need it.

If you want to do that in a safe space where I can facilitate a re-balance, then I've got some availability this week, thanks to winter illness causing a few last minute cancellations.

At the moment I've got:

Monday 10am (tomorrow)
Tuesday 12pm, 1pm or 2pm
Thursday 10am or 1pm

Book on the website or send me a WhatsApp message 😊 07999107788

Big Love 💜✨

My Story

Hi, I’m Ruth and I’m the proud owner of Unity Wellbeing who have been offering holistic therapies for three years. So, why holistic therapies? The answer is, I love helping people. For the length of my career, I have had the pleasure of working in public service, working for the NHS in Stroke Rehabilitation and in education both as an English Teacher and in further education as an Apprenticeships Tutor. As such, I’m able to bring a little of my teaching skills to my meditation classes, a little of my medical knowledge into my massage practise, and have the privilege of feeling rewarded in continuing to help others.

Outside my professional life, I am a life-long and passionate dancer. I have been dancing for 24 years, have suffered various injuries and as such have always made looking after my body a priority. This is just one of the things that inspires me in wanting to help others do the same. I also practice mindfulness meditation daily. This started following attending a 10 week course on mindfulness. This course was a turning point in my life. I believe it was pivotal to me re-gaining a positive outlook following a life changing separation in my late 20s. Everyone, at some point in their life, will experience stressful situations, traumatic events, or simply feel like they’ve lost their direction. My job then, is to provide that tool box to combat stress, live with that trauma or find that direction.

I originally trained with ITEC in Swedish Massage, which was my first love in holistic therapy. I was taught by a very dedicated, warm and supportive tutor and I feel this helped me build the foundations of a career I hope to pursue for many years to come. This soon followed on with 'massage at your desk' Seated Acupressure and Deep Tissue Massage. Deep tissue has allowed me to delve into the sports world and gain invaluable experience treating sports injuries. I then trained in Pregnancy Massage, helping mothers to be to feel special, pampered and at ease. Most recently, I trained in Meditation Instruction which I hope will enable me to bring a little bit of peace to those who I welcome into the studio.
