A different
path to
healing
trauma

Where sound healing, somatic wisdom, and Celtic shamanic practice meet

Sessions are available online &
in person, so this work is accessible wherever you are

Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken.

It’s about coming home to yourself.

As a woman who has experienced multiple traumas and is walking the path of rediscovery, I know how it feels to be disconnected from your body, your voice, and your power.

My work is about guiding you back to wholeness, using a blend of sound, Celtic Shamanism, somatic practices, and deep inner work to help you heal, reclaim your truth, and step into your fullest self.

Hello, I am Ruth…

I'm a Celtic shamanic practitioner and sound therapist.

My work is rooted in Irish ancestral tradition, and I bring that lineage into every session alongside sound and somatic practice..

Ans this short video shares a bit about my own journey and how I could support yours. Press play to meet me!

We often talk about
the body holding trauma.

But let’s also remember:
it holds medicine.

Your nervous system is wired
for resilience.

Your breath knows
how to steady you.

Sound, movement,
and stillness are
its language.

My work is about
helping you access
that innate wisdom,
so healing feels less
like ‘fixing’ and more
like remembering.

  • Ruth is a gifted healer. I have gained more from working with Ruth over the past 6 months than I have in 30+ years of therapy. I cannot recommend her work enough. It feels she channels exactly what I need in the moment. Thank you so much.

  • "The music and energy during our session seemed to be telling my body a story, correcting false narratives and weaving strong energetic threads through my nervous system. I am reaping the benefits daily. I am feeling supported from this powerful session. When anxiety begins to rise it is met with compassion rather than resisted. Many thanks once again!"

  • "I find Ruth very open and easy to talk with, her intuition and directness helps you to go deep and dig up what is truly in need of work. There are not many who can do that whilst holding a space safely, so this witnessing is very powerful. I was worried about it being online as I prefer things in person but it worked well as I was able to relax in my own space and afterwards to process."

  • "You held such a lovely space, and I was deeply grateful for not only the space to unravel what was really going on under the surface but also to just immerse myself in sound for the healing. Your genuine listening and connection during the beginning of the session really held me, and the sound gave me a lovely healing space for the entire session. I've been feeling so much lighter in the way that I show up everyday, in my work and in my personal life. The anxiety and stress over all the responsibilities and things I've been carrying are dissipating, and it feels really good to approach each day in the present moment."

The drum and the journey

The drum is one of the oldest instruments there is. Its beat is the heartbeat, the first sound any of us ever knew. When I drum for you, the rhythm becomes a road, and it carries you inward, past the thinking mind, into the deeper places where the real work waits.

This is shamanic work. The sound opens the way, the drum holds you steady, and together we travel to meet whatever your body and spirit are ready to show you. Sometimes that is grief asking to move. Sometimes it is a part of you that went quiet long ago.

From the protection of the drum we move where you are called to go.

Here there is room to lay down what your body has carried for so long. Room for your voice to soften and return to its own true sound. The parts of you that went quiet, that learned long ago to hide, are welcomed gently home. And your loving healthy ancestors can be invited to stand beside you in their wisdom and strength.

The drum is the road. Each turn of it opens another doorway home.

As women, we carry so much
- often silently.

The weight of past wounds, societal expectations,
and the belief that we need to be everything for everyone.

But here's the truth: you don't have to carry it alone.

  • Feels ‘stuck in your head’ despite years of talk therapy

  • Longs to reconnect with your body without overwhelm

  • Wants a guide who is walking the path herself and who honours
    both science and subtle wisdom

  • Is ready to explore healing that feels like remembering, not fixing.

This is for you if you’re a woman who…

Online sessions

Women often tell me they weren't sure this kind of deep work could really happen through a screen. Then they experience it.

The session travels beautifully online. Clients describe feeling genuinely held, the sound weaving through their nervous system, the space to unravel what is really going on under the surface, arriving at the end lighter than they have felt in weeks. The anxiety and stress they have been carrying begins to dissipate. Their mind settles. They feel more present in their body and in their daily life.

This is the same work, the same depth, the same instruments, the same quality of presence, available to you wherever you are.

All you need is a quiet space, somewhere comfortable to lie down or settle in, and headphones.

Before your session I will send simple preparation guidance so you arrive ready to receive.
