Ruth Oliver

I have taken Ruth's meditation course and continue to attend weekly meditation sessions guided by Ruth. She is a dedicated and caring teacher who has had a positive influence on my life through meditation.Her approach to meditation has helped me through some difficult times and I would highly recommend Ruth's sessions to anyone who is dealing with the problems life throws us all from time to time.

I have done a series of meditation / self development courses with Ruth. I have learned how to bring the many benefits of meditation into my daily life, rather than keeping meditation as something that is somehow separate from my life. This was truly enlightening for me! I have many more tools to use in my day to day life, it's been a real game changer. Thank you so much Ruth. Jenner

I`m lucky enough to have done many of Ruth’s classes for some years now and more recently iRest Meditation. Ruth has a strong knowledge of the body and how to keep it in shape but more importantly knows how to help us connect to our deeper selves and quiet our minds both through exercise and meditation. i have always found it difficult to meditate but with Ruth`s excellent instruction, incredibly soothing voice and openness with her own experiences of how to integrate a quiet mind into our lives, I`m getting there. To me she is a mentor and an inspiration. I would highly recommend her classes to anyone wanting to develop a deeper mind body connection in a really safe nurturing environment.Janice Harvey

Great class, managed to calm the mind of the habitual chitter chatter, manufactured in our minds that often cause suffering. I discovered an awareness allowing for a more, creative and balanced insight into those challenging stories we create for ourselves. Thank you Ruth for putting me on the path of tranquillity.

Ruth is a fantastic teacher and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is going through a hard time or is just interested in the benefits of mindfulness and meditation.

I’ve undertaken an iRest course as well as 1:1 sessions with Ruth. I’ve found the technique to be very powerful on a number of levels. On a simple level the sessions were deeply relaxing and calming. However, what separates this from a generic guided meditation is that each session can be focussed and directed to a specific purpose.The technique has an easy to practise take-away exercise that I can draw up at any time in any situation to focus myself, ground myself and connect to myself – in moments of anxiety or unease this ‘inner-connectedness’ makes it easier to choose what to do next as opposed to living unconsciously & following patterns of behaviour that don’t serve me. This then helps me to live in a manner that’s better aligned with my purposes and values.Ruth creates a warm, peaceful and supportive environment. She is accepting, non-judgemental and listens well. During the session her voice and manner is relaxing & soothing and encourages self empathy. The pace of her sessions is also very good - it facilitates a powerful experience by allowing me to consistently feel what’s happening in my body, while still progressing though the meditation.

I met Ruth cooking on one of her retreats. Her energy is very grounded and calm, I loved working with her and she is a great facilitator - you can see people feel very at ease in her presence. Grateful for the opportunity to have shared space with her!

Doing meditation classes has opened up my mind to a new dimension. I have learnt to embrace the challenges that life brings up on a daily basis in a more objective way and by doing so I have found a balance, an inner peace that is always available which only leads to being happier. I have also learnt that happiness is right here, right now. I encourage anyone considering doing meditation classes to explore their inner self and to discover the powers in their mind. I wish I had started doing meditation sooner, I am now a happier person.

Ruth's incredible online mediations sent me into a very deep state of relaxation within 3 mins. I always thought meditation has to be long and boring but she's given me a totally new perspective! Thank you Ruth!

Ruth is a great inspiration for mediation. I have found the iRest programme extremely beneficial and would recommend!
