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 have found the meditation practice taught by Ruth really helpful in managing anxiety and pain. I looked forward to the weekly group classes which provided a safe and comfortable environment to learn and practise meditation. Ruth’s approach is warm, welcoming and very practical. The course has finished and I continue to use the recordings every day.

Ruth’s course is structured and easy to follow, presented in her comfortable, welcoming studio.  Supporting notes and recordings give you something to refer to and practice during the week. Of course, it will take ongoing practice to gain all the benefits of meditation, but I am definitely on my way now, so thank you Ruth, I am so pleased I signed up!

Meditation has helped me to think more clearly and not worry about the past or coping with everyday stresses. It has also helped a lot in dealing with severe grief after the death of my husband.

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!
