General 1 — Grounding with Ruth

Meditation invites us all to arrive as we are and leave a little bit more aware of who we want to be.

About ruth

Let's start with who I am in professional terms!

I received my Bachelor of Arts from Carleton University in 2007 and my Masters of Social Work from Yeshiva University in 2009. I spent many years working with families experiencing upheaval before moving to private therapy with a specialization in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Through my work in private practice I witnessed how “traditional” therapy is very reactive. I found myself interested in building a practice that is more proactive. This interest took me on a long journey that included expanding my knowledge of what wellness is, what it means to live life authentically and with joy and even what it means to be a social worker/therapist.

The journey has come to fruition with Grounding with Ruth. A place to share with women the power of meditation and how it can help us build a foundation that we take with us every day. It is a gathering space for women to connect, learn and grow - through workshops and women’s circles.

When I am not wearing my social work hat, you can find me walking dogs with my husband. Through my journey, I learned that I can have more than one passion and celebrating both makes me feel I am living my best life! I also love to spend time reading, watching British police shows and being out in nature.

I look forward to helping you find yourself and live from a place of authenticity.

Life beyond coaching

When she’s not helping women find their balance, Ruth loves spending time with her husband and their brood of pets. She’s a big fan of British crime dramas, cosying up with a good book, and enjoying the great outdoors.

From murder mysteries to self-help books, reading is Ruth’s way of winding down and finding inspiration.
When not spending time with family or clients, Ruth loves exploring nature or snuggling with her cats

Ruth’s journey from traditional therapist to wellness coach was driven by a desire to offer more proactive and empowering support. After seeing firsthand how reactive traditional therapy can be, Ruth wanted to provide tools that help women build resilience and joy in their everyday lives.
