Ruth conducts her sessions in an inclusive manner with a personal touch. The sessions are educational, practical, engaging and fun. Ruth is a highly accomplished leader and great facilitator. Whether new to meditation or an old hand, I am sure that your personal growth will flourish. I have completed both one on one and group sessions and highly recommend both.

I enjoyed the course immensely as it was set in a very relaxed environment, but little did I know that within weeks of the course ending my strength of character and everything Ruth taught me would be put to the test.
 
I learnt that my health was in severe danger with a reoccurrence of a tumor that was aggressively invading my back, ribs and hip and getting very close to vital organs. I was booked in for a very gruelling 10 hour surgery and I woke up in ICU 24 hours later. Yes, I had a tough road ahead of me.  Immediately after waking I meditated. I meditated in that hospital day after day, night after night.  I used all of Ruth’s techniques multiple times a day.  When I felt anxious I meditated, when I was in pain I meditated and when I felt alone or in pain I meditated. I’m 3 months along now and I need to express my sincere gratitude to Ruth Oliver for (unknowingly) helping me through the toughest time of my life. Her lessons are life long and what I gained from her classes will stick with me forever.
 
Thanks so much Ruth!

The mental health benefits of meditation are well documented. The iRest meditation course with Ruth Oliver provides a safe and supportive environment to learn and practice the fundamentals of meditation and bring stillness and clarity to our often turbulent minds.

I have been attending Ruth’s Pilates Yoga classes for over 10 years after hearing of the benefits of Pilates for strengthening the core and, in doing so, hoped to strengthen my back. I chose Ruth’s classes as she is highly qualified and her classes are small and cater for individuals. Ruth’s friendly, calming and encouraging manner is welcoming and puts me at ease during an, often, busy day. The exercises are always varied, interesting and challenging. I highly recommend Ruth’s classes. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and it doesn’t matter if you attend casually or every week. I always feel better afterwards!

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.
