Where women remember
who they were
Before the world
told us to be quiet
I have recently had a course of sessions with Ruth and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She has a beautiful energy and is a master at what she does.
I felt so nourished, so cared for, so seen, heard and held. What moved through was deep, old and profound.
I felt safe and in good hands at all times and I am so grateful to Ruth for this beautiful powerful experience.

Somatic healing for
women ready to come
home to themselves
I guide women in sacred circles and 1:1 sessions through trauma and ancestral healing, working with drum journeys, sound healing, ritual, and ceremony rooted in Celtic folklore wisdom.
This is about remembering. Your body's wisdom. Your authentic power.
The truth that lives in your bones. And being truly seen and witnessed as you do.
Women’s
Drum
Circles
Rhythms that awaken what words cannot reach
There's something about rhythm that speaks directly to our cyclical nature as women. The drum bypasses your thinking mind and speaks to your body and what wants to emerge.
Drumming entrains your brainwaves into theta states supporting your nervous system to drop.
When women drum together, we remember we're not machines meant for constant output.
We're cyclical, powerful, wild.
Three monthly circles to choose from
Ruth is great at making you feel welcome as she guides you into the drum circle. You don’t need to be musical to enjoy and benefit from the way the drumming harmonises across the group.
I was apprehensive when I went to my first session but it was a wonderful freeing experience and left me feeling more in touch with myself and my body.
I would recommend everyone giving it a go as Ruth makes it such an enjoyable supportive space. The session in the woodland around the fire is very special.
- ZidaFind your Drum
Many women ask me about finding their own drum. I now have a small selection of vegan shamanic drums and water discs available to try at my home - the same maker as my beloved green drum that's been central to my own healing journey. Learn more about finding your drum →
Some wounds don't respond to talking alone. They live in the body, in the nervous system, in the patterns passed down through generations.
In our sessions we work with sound healing, somatic practice, IFS parts work, and ancestral healing to reach what words can't. Each session is led by what you bring and what your body is ready for.
Trauma-informed
somatic healing
for women
Women come to this work feeling fragmented, exhausted, disconnected from themselves.
They leave with a relationship to their own body and wisdom they didn't know was possible.
Available face to face in Bristol and online.
From the very first session I felt held, safe and able to explore - in a healthy way - my most deeply held wounds. There were so many discoveries, so much that I’ve taken away with me, that has changed how I see myself, and the world around me.
I am able to better manage my fears and insecurities, and those of others, because I have new resources, new understanding.
- AmyThreshold Ceremonies for Women
Bespoke, co-created rite
of passage ceremonies
The body changing, the bleeding slowing. The children grown and gone.
A leaving, a loss, or a freedom you didn't see coming. Something ends, something begins, and you are not quite who you were.
Once these moments were held, with fire and drumming and people who stayed to witness you cross.
A threshold ceremony gives that back. A bespoke day, co-created with you, where your own people gather to witness you step from one life into the next.
“Witnessing the women dancing at the ceremony with their drum and bells, removing their shoes to dance barefoot together was beautiful.
We were all so wild and free. My heart was bursting. Where else in our modern society can women be free like that?
It's beautiful to see women singing, and using their voices too. It's amazing how quickly they sense the energy of the safe space - you can see those barriers lowering, masks being cast aside to reveal the true wild woman within.”
- AmyBone Deep Circles
for Women
Ancient wisdom and embodied practices for women healing together
Seasonal circles where we gather around Celtic goddesses and folklore, weaving sound healing, drum journeys, guided meditations, voice work, creative expression and other somatic practices.
A circle where women remember their deepest knowing together.
“I enjoyed the connection and camaraderie within the circle. The ritual element and weekly theme provided by Ruth. The safe space and trust created to do deep personal work.
I felt safe and held and great to sit in circle with fellow wise women who are not afraid of deep soul work. I liked the connection to celtic roots as I have explored other paths, that often defer to myths and spirituality that are not from my native lands - so this felt grounded, personal and real.
The multi-sensory experience - the taste, sound, ritual, and ceremony all added to the experience.”
- RosemaryAncestral healing Circle for Women
You're done the healing work. Something's still missing.
You sit with your grief. Do the therapy. Learn to resource yourself.
And yet something your body is reaching for hasn't arrived yet.
What if it's not more processing you need, but a remembering?
Before the trauma patterns in your nervous system. Before your grandmothers carried what they couldn't put down.
Your ancient ancestors knew unbroken joy and that memory lives in your bones too.
This 3-week women's circle will take place again in September 2026.
The combination of inspiration, information & critical thought with the connection of being in a group of like minded women was really enjoyable. I felt safe in this ancestral healing circle.
The journeys, accompanied by sound & drumming were the moments that stood out & where this all came together for me.
There was a helpful balance of enough prompting & guidance & containment whilst allowing enough space & room for me to roam where I needed to.
Plus there was a real respect of what arose for each of us & giving that the needed space as well, which supported the feeling of safety.
