Ruth’s meditation classes have given me the tools to de-stress my life, by creating a mindful realisation and awareness of how our minds can sabotage our well-being.  Our thoughts are our interpretation of events due to beliefs and habits that may not necessarily be true or serve us now.  We have the power to be aware and not get caught up in the story of these thoughts, thereby acknowledging and accepting them through meditation we can allow them to pass on.  This opens space and calm for a more constructive mindful existence.  I would highly recommend Ruth’s course as the tools are very simply explained by practical application.  I feel empowered with new independence and confidence to move forward in life, alleviating conscious and unconscious anxiety with the tools I have learned and applied in my daily life.  Thank you Ruth

The Conscious Confidence and Self Esteem course taught me tools to love myself better and have more choices in my life. I’m deeply grateful to Ruth Oliver, whose insightful and compassionate facilitation made this possible. Ruth seamlessly combines Western cognitive techniques with Eastern meditative practices to create a diverse and powerful learning experience. Her wisdom, levity and grace made me feel safe and supported even when working through deeply personal challenges. This course had a profoundly constructive effect on my life, I’d recommend it to anyone.

I found Ruth’s meditation sessions very comforting, instructive and peaceful.  I have learnt a lot.  As a beginner, I have much more to learn, but I have been able to use some of the theories and practices of iRest in my everyday life.  I have been assisted to deal with some issues that have been hanging around for a while, and the meditations have allowed me to be calm and deal with issues that come up in everyday life.  I particularly found your sessions on finding opposites to negative feelings and beliefs very helpful, and I find that I can reassure myself when negative thoughts, situations, and feelings come my way.  Thank you for your wisdom, your easy nature, and your ability to be a good teacher.  Thank you Ruth.

I would like to highly recommend Ruth Oliver. I have been doing Pilates classes incorporating yoga movements now for many years. Ruth comes to my home and we do exercises that are specific for my needs and capabilities. Ruth brings with her a wealth of knowledge and expertise. I am extremely grateful to Ruth for keeping me flexible. I have scoliosis and disc degeneration and without Ruth’s care and an excellent program, I would be extremely stiff and quite immobile today.

I look forward to my iRest Meditation sessions with Ruth, they are beneficial for my overall wellbeing. Instead of going to the gym, it has become my exercise for my mind, body & soul.
