My Client's story
I am a professional, working full time, in a stressful environment. I am a mum, a wife, a daughter.
I remember the first time I met Ruth. I was sitting at the wheel of my car at Tesco’s at the height of anxiety. At the age of 48 I was in surgical menopause following an emergency hysterectomy. My weight gain was incontrollable, my stress levels were through the roof and I was struggling to find meaningful solutions. I had lost faith in my GP and completely overwhelmed with what was on the world wide web. I was pounding the treadmill at the gym and trying every new diet craze that came my way.
Nothing was working. I had lost sight of who I was and how to live my life in a way that meant I was giving the best to myself, my family and friends. I was heading for burn-out and had too much to juggle. My health and well-being were paying the price and my body, mind and loved ones were dealing with the fall-out. That was almost 5 years ago and since then I have been on an amazing journey with Ruth.
Ruth has been by my side every step of the way and she has opened up a whole new world to me. Ruth’s coaching is tailored, thorough and informed by a wealth of knowledge, research and experience.
Initially we focussed on movement together. The prospect of one-to-one sessions via Zoom felt daunting, however to have that time and space with Ruth, allowed me to step away from all that was going on in my life. Menopause had meant that almost overnight, I wasn’t able to do the simple things that had always been so easy – touching my toes, stretching without pain. Focussing on breathing, nutrition and understanding the impact of stress on my body, Ruth’s one-to-one sessions as well as her class-work enabled me to understand and explore a balanced way of healthy living.
With Ruth’s guidance, I was able to alleviate many of the symptoms of menopause. I hadn’t however, really truly recognised the significance of one major factor and the effect it was having on my body. Stress. Following further surgery, Ruth holds my hand along the life-changing path of self-discovery. Her therapeutic coaching is the key that has unlocked the door to better understanding who I am, what makes me tick, what makes me anxious, the effect of stress on my body and how I can live a more holistic, balanced, happier life. Ruth has presented me with the most wonderful box of tools which equips me to deal with challenges that may come my way.
It is a journey and I know it will take time, energy and commitment. Ruth gives me that and so much more. Ruth is completely invested in my journey. It’s sometimes hard for me to appreciate that I am not her sole project! I dread to think where I might be if I hadn’t had that initial phone call with Ruth that day.
