What I Do
My name is Ruth, and I'm a certified holistic therapist with years of experience in private practice and the charity sector. I regard each of my clients as whole and very individual beings, not just a collection of symptoms. The truth is, our health is influenced by all factors of our life, including how we sleep, what we eat and drink, how physically able we are to exercise, how happy we are at work, our relationships and even what media we consume. I believe in listening, really listening. Only by getting to know you and the make-up of your life, including the nitty gritty details, am I able to identify potential root causes for the symptoms you're having and with you, put together a plan to create lasting transformation. I call this 'Whole Person Healing'.
Things are done a little differently here at Unity Wellbeing. Instead of offering individual therapies, appointments are focused on spending time getting to the root of the problem. Initially you might think you're just coming to get some relief from symptoms of IBS, fibromyalgia or some persistent muscle tension. However, often what appears to be a physical problem can have its roots in our emotional and spiritual body and might need a multi-modality approach to see real results. The same is true in reverse, you might be seeking coaching for an emotional issue but find that body-work helps to release the trauma from the body. So Whole Person Healing becomes about getting to know all of you, so that we can treat all of you, delivering precisely based upon your specific needs. This is completely bespoke therapy designed for you. Having said that, having a treatment that involves multiple modalities is not a necessity. If you would benefit most from a full session using one modality then that is exactly what you will receive. This is about exploration of your needs and giving you options. Please feel free to explore the modalities I offer in the 'Whole Person Healing' tab.
​
This will sound like a very counter-intuitive thing for a 'healer' to say, but I'm not actually the one doing the healing, you are. I am simply here to facilitate putting your body into the right state to achieve optimum self-healing, the rest is about empowering you to make better and more sustainable choices about your life so that you can enjoy lasting health, wealth and happiness. This is about investing in yourself, which is why I only offer longer sessions. I believe in nurturing my clients; a warm smile and a heartfelt hug goes a long way when you're opening yourself up to transform your life, and I truly believe that there is very little that can't be resolved with unconditional love. I believe in delivering a high quality therapeutic experience from the moment you pull up in the car, to the moment you leave, and that's why I have put so much time, thought and energy into creating a beautiful healing space to hold you on your journey.

As well as offering Whole Person Healing, I am a specialist in surgical aftercare. Qualified in both manual lymphatic drainage and scar tissue management, I will take care of you from the moment you book your surgery, giving you advice on self care for immediately after surgery, advising on the optimum number of sessions to facilitate your recovery, and treating you from as soon as 2 weeks post-surgery. Sessions include thorough wound checks, manual lymphatic drainage and soft tissue work on or around the scar site (dependent upon phase of tissue healing). For more information, please read more in the 'Surgical Aftercare' tab.
​
I also offer holistic therapies to a charity that has a very special place in my heart. Since 2019, I have been delivering therapies here and I have never felt more part of a big family than with these guys. The people are an absolute inspiration and I'm so excited to share the amazing work they do with you. You can read more about NeuroActive and the incredible work they do in the 'Charity Work' tab.
​
In addition to my private practice from home and the charity work I do, I also offer ad-hoc wellbeing sessions for workplaces. Seated acupressure massage is very popular with companies who have mainly desk-based employees, and there is an increasing demand for mindfulness and wellbeing workshops to improve focus and overall staff wellbeing. Please see the 'Workplace Wellbeing' tab for more information.

Coming soon: Conscious Parenting Club and Conscious Book Club.

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for choosing to invest in yourself (or your staff) and I really look forward to working with you.

Testimonials from my lovely clients
I had a wonderful experience at Unity Wellbeing this week for my first maunal lymphatic drainage massage, with Ruth. Ruth was very professional and knowledgeable on the treatment. She asked various questions to identify the main areas to work on to benefit my needs. The treatment room was idyllic, a perfect setting for relaxation.
