Happy Mother's Day ❀️

If there's a piece of advice I could give anyone today, it would be never to take the everyday moments for granted. Whether it's watching the kids egg each other on, wrestling uncomfortably dangerously 🀣 or whether it's chatting over washing and drying the dishes, love lives in the small everyday moments most of us take for granted.

Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, make the most of today ❀️

There's something so nurturing about hair brushing. It takes me back to being a little girl again and my nervous system remembers a time when I had no cares, no responsibilities and my body and mind were truly at rest.

Who else feels transported back to a place of safety when they receive treatment? πŸ’œβœ¨

Happy International Women's Day! ♀️

What does it mean to you to be a woman?

To me personally, it's a culmination of everything innately and beautifully feminine, with a smattering of feminism and girl power thrown in for good measure.

Being a mother has put me in touch with the most primal and protective parts of myself, unlocking the door to true unconditional love and a life of service without sacrifice. Being a dancer keeps me in touch with my feminine essence and keeps my creative energy flowing freely. Being a feminist reminds me that I can also use my masculine energy to get sh** done, be a provider, maintain my own home (power tools included), giving me independence and autonomy. Tapping into Queen Energy reminds me that my sovereignty is sacred, that having strong boundaries is the very expression of self love and through that self love I will attract what I deserve.

In a world of Epstein files and global chaos, it's easy to feel like we haven't made progress in the face of the patriarchy, but remember your feminine sovereignty starts in one body, yours.

Be your authentic self, protect your peace like your life depends on it and build a life you deserve without apology πŸ’œβœ¨

Hello new followers πŸ‘‹

I've noticed a few of you pop up over the last week so I thought it would be a good time to go back to basics and remind everyone exactly what it is that I offer.

'Whole Person Healing' was birthed last September and aims to elevate holistic practice from symptom management's, to root cause and pattern recognition. I want to see transformation for my clients, not just temporary relief.

I will post more I've the next week with more detail on each of the modalities I use in my treatments, and who this work is for, but in the meantime, you can subscribe to the mailing list on the website: www.unitywellbeinguk.com

And any questions you have, just ping me a message on WhatsApp πŸ˜ŠπŸ™ 07999107788

Big love πŸ’œβœ¨

A little reminder for anyone thinking about refining their massage practice or building more confidence in their treatments...

Over the last few weeks I’ve been opening up a small number of spaces for 1:1 consulting with therapists who want to deepen their skills, improve treatment flow and build a more sustainable business.

If that’s something you’ve been curious about, feel free to drop me a message and we can have a chat about whether it might be a good fit.

WhatsApp is always the best way to reach me: 07999107788

Sitting here between clients feeling grateful and excited ✨

For almost a decade, I have had the privilege of calling this work. I get to remind people what the safe baseline feels like for their nervous system. I'm humbled daily to be trusted with clients' bodies whilst I assist in the natural healing process. I am lucky enough to get paid to use my natural gifts and talents for nurturing and holding space. I get to fulfil my absolute geek nature in indulging in literature all about the body, human behaviour and how interconnected our mind, body and spirit really are.

In all that time, I haven't had one bad review, not one. And as someone who knows how little we all take the opportunity to reflect on our successes, I think it's essential that we do exactly that in order to grow. Because when we grow, our abundance overflows, and what we learn and cultivate positively impacts those around us.

So, the next phase of growth for Unity Wellbeing...

πŸ’œ Unity Wellbeing Business Academy πŸ’œ

That's right, I said it out loud. I publicly affirm myself as someone that knows stuff about running a wellbeing a business, and I'm bloody good at it.

So this year I will be taking on no more than 9 clients who wish to receive consultation on their wellbeing businesses. I'm primarily looking for body workers who are wanting to improve work/life balance, increase their revenue and deepen their practice for sustainable outcomes for their clients. I am deliberately keeping the cohort small (no more than one per month) to keep this work focused, deeply individual in nature and supportive beyond implementation.

If this speaks to you, please send me a message on WhatsApp and let's book a discovery call to discuss your needs: 07999107788

If you know someone who would benefit, please share this post with them πŸ™

This is your weekend reminder that if you're on a healing journey, don't get so busy healing that you forget to live. Be fully in your life in-between the work, cherish those around you and just like this little sausage, don't forget to always l, be unapologetically yourself.

Life isn't meant to be taken seriously all of the time. Laugh at life, laugh at yourself and most importantly, laugh with others.

Can we talk for a moment about the mythical beast that is self love?

I was utterly convinced for a long time that self love was purely about liking yourself. Becoming at home in your own skin, being able to feel your true self even (especially) when you're around people who aren't like you. I thought it meant cultivating confidence in who you are. I thought self love was a feeling.

But what I've come to discover is that self love (and all other forms of love in actual fact) is not a feeling at all, it is an action, or rather a series of actions, a practice. It lives not in the way you feel, but in the small decisions you make every day.

So what does practicing self love actually look like? Spoiler alert πŸ‘€ it isn't all what you'd think...

The Basics:

✨ Feeding yourself nutritious food because you respect yourself to know your body is your precious vehicle and needs fueling

✨ Being disciplined with getting enough sleep. There are no medals here for unnecessary exhaustion

✨ Moving your body in ways that make it feel good and keep it fit and strong

These might be eye rollingly obvious πŸ™„ but when we get the basics right, we send ourselves a subtle message. I'm am worthy of taking care of my body in the most basic of ways

Emotionally:

πŸ’œ Getting to know your nervous system. This means sitting in the stillness long enough to interpret the emotional messages your body is sending you. Then...sitting with it even longer to allow whatever it is you're feeling to move through you, before giving in to temptation to numb it through distraction

πŸ’œ Practicing self-compassion. This means being kind to yourself when you don't get it right. We're all human, we all snap at our kids sometimes, or say something we shouldn't, but showing ourselves softness and kindness in these moments actually aids our ability to do the next bit...

πŸ’œ Take accountability. Being radically honest with ourselves about our shortcomings without turning it into a persecution is one of the kindest things we can do for ourselves and everyone around us. Because when we have the humility to admit we're wrong, without trying to explain it away, we open the pathway for clarity and growth, we reduce the chance of repeating the same mistakes again.

Relationally:

❀️ Become sovereign πŸ‘‘ This is not about hyper independence and going it alone in everything you do forever. It's about being able to regulate your own emotions, have a solid support network that doesn't depend on one person, and being financially independent. From a nervous system perspective, when you then choose to attach to somebody, it will be from a place of genuine connection and desire, not from a need to co-regulate or a need to be rescued in any way. If the thought of walking away from a relationship feels unbearable, whether that be a friendship, a partner, a workplace, you haven't done enough work. Walking away can feel painful, but ultimately until you reach a place where you know you could walk away and you'd still be okay, your nervous system is still unhealthily bonded.

❀️ Decide what your non-negotiables are and communicate them. Set boundaries and STICK TO THEM. Nothing screams 'I love myself' more than protecting your peace. Allowing others to disrespect you, your time and your energy is draining to your life force. It also sends a subtle message to yourself of 'I don't matter', and you absolutely do! Show people how you want to be treated and be prepared to take action if they don't.

❀️ And finally let's talk about self love relationally: Do not shrink yourself to 'fit in'. Be unapologetically you with EVERYONE. Being radically yourself won't go down well with everyone, but that's the point, it gives you information. Information about who accepts you for who you truly are, and who perhaps just isn't your person, and all of that just becomes information. If you struggle with loss this one will be tough but it will also be the most freeing practice you do.

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.
