Meet Ruth
Hi I’m Ruth,
I’m a holistic therapist and healer currently based in Barcelona, Spain, with a love of learning and travel and a great interest in understanding what it takes to truly heal and thrive.
I’m trained as a healer since 2011 and in 2019 I introduced Kinesiology into my practice. I felt I had natural healing abilities from a young age and once I studied these modalities my abilities continue to grow and strengthen. My background is in primary school teaching and after 13 years I moved into my healing business full time.
I bring real care and nurturing and open-mindedness to my work. My greatest strength is in supporting you in feeling seen and heard and finding your way back to balance, calm and wellbeing.
I have successfully healed myself from chronic fatigue, anxiety, psoriasis, gut issues, unresolved trapped emotions, brain fog, heavy metal toxicity, viruses and food intolerances.
I used a combination of holistic therapies such as Kinesiology, food therapy, Reiki, Bach Flower remedies, Integrated Energy Therapy, nutritional supplements, herbs and Subconscious Reprogramming.
With this mix of techniques that I learned, I have found that I can tackle pretty much anything that comes my way and I would love to do the same for you!
My Story
One of the main questions I get asked is how I got into the world of holistic healing and coaching.
My journey into holistic healing started back in 2011 when I was living in Melbourne, Australia and learned Reiki 1 through an amazing teacher. Looking back it was definitely my first spiritual enlightenment (I’ve had a few since).
About an hour after being initiated into Reiki, we did a meditation together and I felt tingles all the way through my body - almost an out-of-body experience. I knew then that Reiki was very special to me and it was in my life for a very big reason.
Reiki 2 I learned a few months later with the same teacher, at that point I had gotten sick with a virus which I didn’t know was glandular fever at the time. It then developed into Chronic Fatigue.
Reiki really helped me through times of frustration with being ill. It definitely gave me acceptance and calmed my nervous system which did add towards me getting better.
Around nine months later, I had a relapse of Chronic Fatigue. I was home in Ireland for three months at this stage. The main therapy that worked for me was Kinesiology as it’s a holistic model - focusing on the mental, physical, nutritional and energetic healing of the body.
I had tried dozens of therapies at this point and, out of everything, Kinesiology helped me the most, as it showed me exactly what nutrients my body needed to achieve balance and true health and wellbeing.
It took a few months to get my energy back fully but once I followed the Kinesiologist’s advice on nutrients and nutrition, I was on a path to long term healing.
It’s now ten years since I got sick and I’m in the best health of my life!
I have low energy days like anybody else but with Kinesiology I can check what is affecting me and change it.
Over the past 10 years, I have qualified as a Reiki Master and added qualifications in Sound Healing, Systematic Kinesiology, Integrated Energy Therapy, Yoga & Meditation and NLP Coaching.
The integration of each modality has moulded me into the advanced holistic practitioner I am today.
Each one of us is unique and so what you require to heal will also be unique.
In my sessions with you, I can access your body’s wisdom and offer you the blend of therapies best suited to your own needs and recovery.
My Background
My background is in Primary School Teaching. Over the past 14 years I’ve seen the stresses and mental health lows children go through. I want to make a difference in their lives and help them to manage anxiety, low self-esteem and daily stresses.
I’ve had success in treating children’s anxiety during my research project in Systematic Kinesiology. This ranged from helping children and teenagers with social anxiety, food intolerances, hormonal imbalances, fears, sleep, eating habits, bed wetting to confidence levels and digestive issues. All clients attributed the change they experienced in their lives to these three Kinesiology sessions which were offered during the project.
In Primary Education I’ve helped many children over the years to feel they were enough, they mattered and that the world is their oyster. I was the kind of teacher who came from an angle of nurture, open mindedness and fairness.
Social/emotional work is my strong point - we always worked as a team and never left anyone behind.
My Approach
I treat my clients from the same mindset, in that you’ll get my full attention, a nurturing environment and you’ll leave my clinic feeling balanced, at ease, heart-centred and completely seen and heard.
Do you want to feel in control of your mental, physical and emotional health? Do you want to transform your life with basic tools? I’d love to show you how.
