Goodness me, it's so good to be back. After both me and the small one were down with Autumn lurgy last week, it feels wonderful to be back in the studio and seeing all your lovely faces.

There's a lot going around at the moment, so if you're needing some support to boost your immunity as a preventative measure, or to help rebuild after being unwell, I'm your lass.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is the gold standard for this as it stimulates the flow of lymph, delivering essential infection fighting particles to where they're most needed in the body. Hoping ear candling can alleviate sinus complaints, and we can use hot and cold therapy with stones in a beautifully relaxing massage that will bring your system back into balance.

Whatever your needs, we can put together a treatment just for you, to get you back to feeling your best self.

I have lots of availability tomorrow now as two of my lovely regulars also have Autumn lurgy. So if you happen to be free, get in touch and we'll get you booked in ✨

Stay well everyone. Big love πŸ’œ

Day 4 of illness. A cold, a migraine, followed by D&V.

I just want to take a moment to thank all my lovely clients for their understanding and their well wishes.

I'm taking the rest of the week off to recover and hopefully I'll be back with you all on Monday 🀞

Big love πŸ’œβœ¨

Reminder: Know thyself

Don't read this if you can't handle the over share 🀣 So a round up of the last week: I knew I would be in my period, yet I booked in my flu jab. I knew I would be on my period, but I went on a night out. I knew I would be on my period but I drove down to Bolton and back to help my partner move (this one couldn't be helped).

When us ladies are in the menstrual phase of our cycle, our immunity is naturally lower, our social battery has less in the tank and we have a very real and biological need for more rest. So please, if you're a n***y like me who thinks she can be superwoman all month around, remind yourself that you absolutely MUST start living in sync with your cycle to prevent burn-out.

The result? I'm off work with a stinker of a cold and ended up with a poorly little boy throwing up and peeing out of his bum hole for 3 hours night before last. Needless to say, I'm done in.

The lesson? Plan ahead. Ladies, check your calendars, know when you're in each phase of your cycle and live accordingly with that, unapologetically. It's okay to stay in, it's okay to say no, and for goodness sake, don't take a jab that also whacks your immunity in the same week 🀣🀦

Cycle syncing education is just one of the many things we can discuss in your Whole Person Healing sessions. Bring me your problems, and we will find the solutions together, through a combination of clear communication, health education and of course, the therapies you've all come to love.

Take care of yourselves as autumn creeps in πŸ‚

Life lessons from growing my own tomatoes and making my own chutney (yes really 🀣):

✨ Life is just better outside in my garden
✨ Tending lovingly to plants gives you the same
feeling as tending to a human you love
✨ The journey and the process are more
important than the outcome - I learned LOADS
about what NOT to do, and still found a use for
my unripened fruit
✨ I am happiest when rooted in my feminine,
living my life slowly, intentionally, with plenty
of rest, next to no hustle and lots of capacity
for nurturing
✨ The fruits of our labour (not even sorry about
this pun) are sweetest when we have to wait -
a good metaphor for just about anything in life

What life lessons have you learned from simple wholesome tasks?

Big love πŸ’œβœ¨

***MODELS NEEDED!***

Are you free on Tuesday the 28th of October?

Would you like a free treatment?

I'm conducting a day of filming to gather footage I can use for promotional materials. In exchange for your time you will receive a free treatment lasting no longer than 60 minutes (but it could be shorter). There will be a little noise disruption as we move equipment and you would also need to be comfortable in male company as my partner will be doing the filming.

I will need models for:

✨ Guided Meditation/Gentle Breathwork/Mindfulness Coaching

✨ Surgical Aftercare - ideally with a decent sized scar you're happy to appear on camera. You would need to be 12 or more weeks post surgery to allow for the full range of soft tissue techniques to be demonstrated.

All genders, shapes and sizes welcome. I want Unity Wellbeing to be representative of all clients. Serious interest only please. My partner and I have very limited spare time so really don't want any cancellations on the day.

Comment 'MODEL' below along with the name of the treatment you'd like to model for and I will allocate slots on a first come first serve basis.

Big Love πŸ’œβœ¨

Quick message for anyone feeling like their efforts aren't enough, aren't paying off, and feel 'stuck' in their current circumstances.

1) We don't get to see the grand plan. Even when things feel like they're not working for us, they are working for us. There is always a lesson and everything that is meant for us will find us in divine timing.

2) Challenges are capacity expanders. If you can ride out the storm with grace (and a little bit of snotty crying and some swearing), you will build your resilience. You can then use that to create a life you dreamed of.

3) There is ALWAYS something to be grateful for. So when you start feeling sorry for yourself (which is fine, feel that and acknowledge it first) make a concerted effort to notice the good all around you; the friend that checks in, the warmth of your bed after a long day, a warm smile from a stranger. Make it your task to seek it out intentionally, and when you find it, feel it in your body until you make it a permanent part of your heart.

Remember, you can't always control the externals, but you can always make a choice about your inner landscape.

Meditation, for me, has been utterly life changing.

Knowing I always have somewhere I can go inside myself to feel at peace is a tonic in what can sometimes feel like a very pressured world.

With practice, it's helped me to be more present, improve my focus and regulate my emotions so that I can better weather the natural ups and downs of life with more confidence and resilience. It's also my go-to practice whenever I need clarity on a big decision or simply something that's come up in life that's thrown me.

Used on its own for deep immersion, or in combination with therapies that soothe the nervous system, this is a modality that I will never stop raving about.

See you in the studio.

Big love πŸ’œβœ¨

This ancient therapy is simply divine to deliver. Whether used on its own or in combination with Lymphatic Drainage and/or Reiki, it induces a deep state of relaxation and can provide much needed relief from physical symptoms involving the head and neck, and release energetic blockages from the throat chakra upwards.

Still, serene and simply dreamy πŸ’œβœ¨

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.
