There’s a version of me that’s disciplined, consistent and thriving…

and then there’s the version currently lying in the bath like a melted candle 🤣

Both are part of the process 💜

PS. I'm well aware of the mold in the corner of the shower 🤦

Consistency doesn’t always look like showing up perfectly every day.

Sometimes it looks like resting when you need to… and starting again the next day.

Energy this week is about a 3/10, but we show up anyway, one foot in front of the other.

Big Love 💜✨

"When I came round from the experience I was speechless. I cried like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders."

"I can see why it's called Whole Person Healing because I came out with a relaxed body, but also more love and peace in my heart."

Just some of the very kind words from my lovely clients and correct me if I'm wrong, but we all want feedback like this from our clients right?

But how we get there isn't by offering 'massage', 'reiki' or 'mindfulness', but by facilitating an experience that catalyses deep and lasting change.

When we remind the body what safety feels like, everything changes. All physiological systems come back online, the mental fog is lifted and productivity returns, emotional stability feels reachable again and this gives people hope.

We're not selling temporary pain relief or simply 'relaxation', we're selling healing they couldn't previously access, we're selling growth only made possible by stepping out of survival mode.

You already have the skills, you already have the experience, you already have the passion, and your clients are happy, but you're not quite sure how to slot in the last piece of the puzzle to create that 'wow' experience.

If you're ready to go deeper in your practice and co-create lasting transformation with your clients, comment WHOLE and I'll be in touch.

Big Love 💜✨

This isn't just massage...

It's Whole Person Healing.

It's truly seeing and hearing the client

It's being centred enough in yourself to co-regulate with the client

It's trusting yourself and your intuition deeply

It's having the knowledge and skills to create what they need for deep restoration and transformation

Because when the body feels safe, everything shifts.

If we aren't encouraging our clients to take care of their own health between treatments, what are we even doing?

Our clients might initially come to us because they're 'tight', 'sore' or 'stressed'. But if we're to start moving beyond treating symptoms and start igniting transformation we HAVE to start asking the deeper questions.

If someone is tight and sore in the same areas repetitively, where has that holding pattern come from and how do we break it? If someone is stressed, can their circumstances be changed to make the environment more tolerable? Or do they need to find better ways to ride the wave, with perhaps mindfulness and meditation?

Are our clients even getting the basics right, like good nutrition, getting enough sleep and getting enough daylight, exercise and contact with nature?

Once upon a time this would be considered stepping out of our remit, but that rhetoric is outdated. Optimal health is only achievable when we're hitting a good balance in all areas, so it's all up for discussion. And if we can help them with the areas they're stuck in, great, and if we can't, we have a number of reliable professional connections we can rely upon for referrals.

When you start using the Whole Person Healing Method, this is how we approach the work, and the clients really feel it. So if you're ready to step beyond treatment alone and start assisting your clients with true life transformations, comment WHOLE and I'll be in touch 💜✨

1) When we regulate ourselves, we can co-regulate with our clients. This is the quickest and most effective way to make someone feel safe before they've even reached the treatment table.

2) When our client feels safe, their nervous system slips into the parasympathetic. When this happens all physiological systems respond and natural healing begins.

3) Our clients remember how we made them feel, not what we did. So when they leave feeling not just looser, but psychologically clearer, and emotionally lighter, they know this is going to have a ripple effect in their wider life.

4) When our clients are reminded what safety in their own body feels like, they can use this as an anchor point to make positive changes in their own lives between sessions, and this is where the real transformation lives.

5) As therapists we can make our lives much easier here. Muscles that relax in response to nervous system state change relinquishes the need for unnecessarily deep pressure, meaning our energy output can be more economical and our work more sustainable in the long term.

If you're ready to move away from overly technique focused, symptom relief practice, and into deeper somatic transformation for your clients. Comment RESPOND and I'll be in touch.

This is something I see all the time and something I experienced myself for years.

Not because we’re not good at what we do… but because no one ever teaches you how to bring it all together.

The shift into more intuitive, confident work isn’t about learning more techniques.

It’s about understanding what’s actually happening in the body, namely the nervous system, and how to respond to it.

If you’ve ever felt like you know there’s more to what you do… you’re probably right 💜✨

Most massage therapists are focused on doing a “good job”.

But a “good” treatment isn’t what makes a client come back.

Clients don’t return because your technique was technically correct…

They come back because of how they felt in your space.

Seen.
Safe.
Understood.
Like the treatment was actually tailored to them, not just their symptoms.

That’s the difference between a one-off appointment…

…and a client who rebooks, refers, and stays with you long-term.

This is the work I’ve been refining behind the scenes; not just what you do with your hands, but how you hold space, read people, and structure an experience that actually lands.

Tell me what do you think makes a client come back to you?

With the war in the Middle East and the next cost of living crisis impending, many therapists are starting to look at the financial sustainability of their practice, and rightly so.

Benefits will be going up, public sector pay will be going up, as will many private sector salaries, in line with the cost of living. Why should we be any different?

It's a wise move to start looking now at your pricing structure, and if it's giving you the ick, that's your call to look deeper into why. For some it's not feeling good enough, for others it's a chronic pattern of feeling as though they need to sacrifice themselves to take care of others, and sometimes it's just sheer fear of loss of business.

Whatever it is, I can guarantee you I've been there, worked through it and come out of the other side.

If you're ready to find the confidence you need to charge suitably to support yourself and your family, let's chat. I'm here to help you get there.

I've heard it 100 times before...

'but people won't be able to afford it'

'I'll feel bad if my regulars can't come anymore'

'what if I'm out-pricing people from a service they really need'

These are stories that caring people tell themselves because they don't want to let people down. I get it, I've been there. But let me tell you this as someone who has increased their prices and more than survived it...

If someone really needs it and looking after their health is as high on their priority list as they say it is, they'll prioritise it financially too.

The truth is that if your clients have been paying £45 an hour, those aren't bread-line clients to begin with, and if you increase to £55 an hour or more (I currently charge £65, but could probably get away with more...) and they say they can't afford it, it probably wasn't that big a priority to them anyway, and these aren't your ideal clients...

Your ideal clients are ones that value your craft, put their own health and wellbeing as high on their list of priorities as they say they do, and are ready to invest in this long term.

The only thing standing in your way is your discomfort with it 🫣

If you're ready to step out of your comfort zone and start building a practice that reflects your worth, comment PAYDAY.

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.
