Nicola – Oct 2023

This weekend was, without doubt, a pivotal turning point for me. I could feel my strength and resilience returning, during my time with Ruth. However, perhaps the greater gift was the sustained changes I felt in the weeks/ months to come. The focused work undertaken one-to-one allowed me to address a deep-rooted mindset, one of lacking self-confidence and direction. The tailored support really helped me to unpack the narrative behind my thoughts and behaviours in recent years. While the process was emotional and challenging at times, Ruth was exceptional in creating a safe and nurturing space that enabled me to delve deeper and gain a far greater understanding of myself than I have ever achieved previously (via other forms of self-development, such as counseling). Ruth was able to ask perceptive and thought-provoking questions, yet this was always done in a way that made me feel empowered, never judged. This opportunity afforded me the tools to challenge my own thinking and the awareness to modify my behaviours and actions. Altogether, making me feel a sense of control and ownership that I haven’t felt for a long time. These are the sustained feelings that have really allowed me to make positive changes in my life, since this weekend, and have become more engrained in my daily life. The place I am in now would not have been possible without the foundation I was able to build during my weekend with Ruth. Since my visit, I have continued to feel supported in my successes and growth. I would thoroughly recommend this coaching weekend.
