HeartMind Connections with Ruth Donnelly

Welcome from Ruth

In 1994 I discovered the ‘miracle’ of shiatsu massage relieving my migraines…. and I discovered the way that my lifestyle brought the migraines back again!  This started my journey into holistic health and well-being.  As I grew I wanted to ‘pass it on’, to share with others the amazing, life affirming possibilities that exist.  In 2003 I started to train professionally to be able to do this.  

As a lover of learning my training has continued to expand to include holistic counselling and artistic therapies, Buddhist psychotherapy, transformative mindfulness, Dru Yoga, Reiki, Australian Bush Flower Essences, Acutonics sound healing and astrology.  Since 2004 I have been working with individual clients and since 2008 I have been working with therapeutic groups, both teaching for colleges and offering my own spiritual growth groups.

Our lives are precious and hold so much potential for us, for our own enjoyment and in the way we contribute to the wider world of family, community, planet earth and in our sense of connection to universal consciousness.

In all my services I aim to help people connect with their essence, their potential, so they can live their lives more fully.  This may include recovery from traumatic experiences that hold us back, or developing emotional and spiritual skills to grow.

I call my approach ‘HeartMind Connections’ showing the sense of connecting to the essential mind/spirit that dwells in the heart, and from there connecting with others.  With other people, with nature, with the cosmos, with life as a whole from ourselves as a whole.

Sometimes in life we feel broken but deep down we are whole, we can learn to reconnect to the un-broken self that waits for us to rediscover it.  From there our lives can flourish, even when difficulties strike we can be strong and vulnerable.  From our essential self we can rediscover the precious nature of our lives.

Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile.
Dwelling in the present moment,
I know this is a wonderful moment
