What My Clients Say

I felt so lost and so confused, couldn’t really think or see clearly how to move forward in my life.

Ruth was able to see clearly what would help me move forward and by the end of the retreat l could see it too clearly. I feel so much calmer and relaxed and excited about my future again. I loved Ruth’s cooking and loved the accommodation. Ruth’s has a great sense of humour, mind set and wonderful personality. A great 3 days. Wonderful experience

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.

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a coaching residential with Ruth at a time in my life where I have been feeling more lost than ever. It was truly transformative. Her guidance and support helped me gain clarity on my goals and develop a concrete action plan to achieve them. I felt heard, understood, and empowered throughout (and being in the lovely Pembrokeshire really helped this!). I highly recommend the residential to anyone looking to make positive changes in their life. Thank you again for the invaluable experience!

The residential with Ruth was just what I needed to take a step out of life and focus on what I needed to move forward with my goals and how to overcome the challanges I’m facing. It was the perfect balance on challanging an uplifting in a really safe and supportive space.

My life was unbalanced and I couldn’t figure out how to find the balance I longed for. Ruth helped me lay everything out and put it in order. We went through work, relationships, leisure time – every aspect of my life.
The process she uses is like a personalised and nurturing spring clean. She is multi-skilled and very knowledgeable, and seemed to understand instinctively when I needed to be challenged and when I needed a bit of TLC. The process is quite intense, but that intensity is relieved by the wonderful coastal walks and delicious home cooking. It is less than a week since I left Ruth’s beautiful home and I have already recommended her coaching to others.
Ruth coaches with clarity, coherence, and care. Her qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience are invaluable. She can be brisk and no-nonsense one minute, and tenderly nurturing the next, depending on your needs in the moment. The framework she has devised for her intensive residentials is flexible, strong, and effective. I found the experience quite intense at times, but also fun – we had a lot of laughs along the way. I think the impact will reverberate positively through the whole of the rest of my life. I would recommend Ruth to anyone who feels their life is unbalanced or disorderly or just not quite how they want it to be.

An extraordinary experience. 
Ruth is a fountain of knowledge and an expert coach. She is deeply committed, she cares deeply, and she misses nothing.  
It’s a straight forward, no nonsense, no excuse, no hiding experience. It is “let us face the facts and find the tools to move ever forward”.
I now have the tools and I am moving. I already feel as though nothing can stop me now. 
The most informative, productive and uplifting 72 hours I have ever spent.

I have just had the most amazing 3 days of my life with Ruth. I came to see Ruth on a whim really. I found her on the internet, the only person I found that does personal 1:1 coaching over a very intense period.
I came here burnout, stressed, anxious, really not clear on the way forward. I have a very high powered job in the pharmaceutical industry and really felt like I couldn’t go on, and just thought I needed to resign. I can honestly say I am now going back with renewed excitement, passion, energy and trust in myself through my experiences spending time with Ruth. It’s been very transformational and been the best decision of my life. Ruth holds your hand, enables you to get to where you want to be, she challenges you, her coaching questions are spot on! Thank you Ruth and thank you for the lovely cooking! You asked me what I wanted, and you provided it! If you are thinking about doing it, honestly guys, to anybody out there, it is just transformational.

I have to say this has probably been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Having that time and space in a different place was the boost I needed and has been transformational. The weekend was so enlightening, sharing the things in my head out loud and unpacking them, the residential is just so set up for that as there are no distractions, or excuses to not give yourself the time and space you need. The pre-call with Ruth was really helpful as it means you turn up with clarity on what you will be working towards and the itinerary is really clear. The days are also very flexible catering perfectly for your needs. The other amazing aspect is the space that you are in. Not only is Ruth’s house wonderfully comfy and cosy, but the surrounding areas you visit as part of the experience are just amazing and it feeds and soothes your soul. I can say nothing but amazing things about the whole experience. It is a risk, investing in yourself, and not being sure if it will work out, and you need to be ready. The preparation that Ruth puts in prior to your arriving is second to none which means you come away so much more enriched that you ever thought you would be. If you are thinking about doing it – do not hesitate – get booking and bring everything as it is only as good as what you want it to be, so don’t hold back. Without any hesitations at all, get booking and let the transformations begin!

I approached Ruth at a time in my life where many challenges have come together at once and I felt lost and on the edge of the edge not knowing which way to move with overwhelming self limiting beliefs and doubts. I felt in my heart that Ruth would be the person to help me overcome this. I have had a radical shift in perspective of my self. I feel overcome with a sense of peace, confidence and gratitude. Ruth is a truth speaker and invites you to look closely at your thoughts. She supported me to look a bit deeper and see what’s really going on. Confronting these truths, self limiting beliefs, thought tracks and leaning into this, there is so much growth and wisdom to be had! Ruth is authentic in every way. Ruth’s approach has been very freeing for me. I feel lighter, more relaxed and knowing it is possible I’m kinder to myself as I journey onwards with certainty and ease! The food was delicious and super nourishing , thank you for making me feel at home.

Just fab!! It was a relaxed, warm and nurturing environment and Ruth guided me through the process with kindness, openness and positivity. I feel like it was the reset I needed to move forwards in my life and bring about more positive changes.

Ruth helped me to save me from myself.  When I arrived at Ruth’s I was so broken and rudderless that I almost didn’t go.  I am so glad that I did.  She is kind, funny, incisive, probing, persistent and witty.  She helped me to train and tame the power of my subconscious, and to minimise the power my “demons”.  I left my residential feeling both peace and purpose, and I have not felt either for a long time.  I left with an action plan that will help me to reframe my personal and professional identities, to budget for the “What Ifs”, and rediscover my self belief.
 Before I went, I wasn’t sure that coaching was the right thing for me.  I knew that I had to do something but didn’t know what or where to start.  Now, with the tools and techniques to move forwards, I can confidently say it’s the best thing that I have ever done for myself.  Working with Ruth has changed my life.

Contacting Ruth is the most caring and worthwhile decision I have ever made for myself. I was completely overwhelmed and exhausted with day-to-day life and could not see a day when I would feel alive and happy again. Ruth used her expert knowledge, skills and experience to help me realise for myself what the stress factors were in my life, what it was in my life that was draining my joy and making my existence feel so miserable. She cut through all the grey, heavy clouds of confusion in my mind and coached me with kindness, honesty and no-nonsense to understand how I could change or remove the impact of these factors on my life, truly life changing! Since returning from my residential with Ruth life is so much brighter. It’s a work in progress and I know it will continue to improve because Ruth has given me the tools I need, not only to survive but to flourish and each day is better than the last! A standout moment of change for me was watching the sea at Freshwater West wash away the negative factors in my life that I had written in the sand, I was overcome with relief and so emotional, I will never forget how I felt in that moment, thank you Ruth!

Beware!


Ruth WILL harness your power and change WILL happen.
She is perceptive and unafraid to challenge.

If you feel stuck, are repeating unhelpful patterns, or can’t see the way out of a situation, then talking to Ruth and sharing your story is the first step. She listens really carefully and identifies the core beliefs that are blocking progress towards your goals.

I absolutely recommend Ruth as that “critical friend” who is willing to hold the mirror and support you to challenge yourself.

I love working with Ruth; really glad I reached out and asked for her help.

We moved our family from England to Pembrokeshire so our kids could attend Castle School, largely based on Ruth’s “child development” role in the school. Unfortunately into their 4th year in the school, Ruth moved onto pastures new and it left a massive void in terms of personal development of the children. During this time our daughter began to suffer with fitting into her class and her confidence consequently suffered. So we immediately thought of Ruth who we contacted and she’s immediately brought our daughter back to her old self. The confidence issues have gone (or are at least under control) and our daughter has developed some super strategies for dealing with that mindset in the future. We’d highly recommend Ruth in whatever capacity but most notably in reestablishing our daughters confidence again. Sincere thanks, The Nand-Lal family

Where do I start?! I have great ideas that I never seem to get off the ground, weight loss, financial gain in business and general finishing jobs I started.
I found Ruth such a down to earth, inspiring person. She made me feel like I was talking to a friend but also didn’t let me get away with using all my excuses (I have a long list!) She shone a huge light on where I needed to put my attention and gave me the confidence to focus on the things that mattered the most. What this has done for me is release a huge amount of energy I was using to block and resist the change that was coming and helped me redirect it to better use!!
It has also helped to have Ruth hold me accountable for the things I say but never do! She has guided me in a new direction in my life that has opened up such wonderful opportunities to do what I have always dream of doing with strategies and a plan of action which has been easy to follow and did not overwhelm me like it usually does. Thank you to Ruth, my Marvellous Mentor!!

Great working with Ruth. A great coach and communicator. Highly recommend!

Ruth is amazing and the coaching i received from her helped me improve myself mentally and realise how fantastic i am. She helped me gain the tools to deal with issues in the future as well as the present.
