About

Ruth Smith

Hi I’m Ruth The ‘Feel Amazing Therapist’ a successful confidence, mindset and mental wellbeing therapist. I have recently been awarded Inspiring Woman in Business award. I am down to earth, and an empath which allows people to feel at ease and quickly trust me to talk and confide in me.

I live in Marske-by-the-sea, a small coastal village in North Yorkshire with my 2 teenage children and some people call me crazy but I swim at least once a week in the North Sea, it is definitely my happy place.

After decades of struggling with my own mental wellbeing I was feeling pretty ‘meh’ and I started working with a life coach, I regained my self-confidence and started to ‘feel amazing’. From there my world changed, and I knew I wanted to help other people feel the same way and get more out of life.

Following extensive training I have many qualifications and I am proud to be a INLPTA Master Practitioner.

Using a combination of my below qualifications I help people change their lives.

Testimonials

"Ruth is absolutely amazing at what she does, I feel do calm and relaxed after today. Highly recommend. Had my first ever Reiki session today (full body) and also full facial too wow it certainly won't be my last. It is very much aligned with all the spiritual growth I've been doing I had full on body vibrations and my 3rd eye was very much activated. I went into a very deep state of relaxation (and may have let out a little snore once or 3 times sorry!) Ruth you have a very special gift. It was so lovely to spend time in your company today. You give so much of your beautiful spirit (literally). Anyone who wants to experience Reiki, I highly recommend Ruth but she has so much more to offer."

"So recommend! When you get passed around mental health service like feel like number or just another person another problem it's not nice feeling, when I met Ruth that wasn't the case at all. Ruth makes you feel like you actually do matter in the world and that you are someone that can be appreciated and you are worth everything. Ruth has helped me a lot! I can't thank her enough. She is the one that you can trust and she is the one that will help you no matter what part of mental health you have, makes you feel like I can do this and you have got this! She accepts you for you!"

"She has changed my life, let’s start there. I have always struggled with my sense of self-worth and my general attitude towards myself for as long as I can remember and that is something that she has helped me with immensely. The techniques she uses to get your brain thinking in a different way and working through trauma is nothing short of amazing. Before I started my sessions with Ruth, I was very hard on myself and no confidence whatsoever. This has totally changed now, using techniques like stop hammer time (which will forever make me laugh), holding me accountable and setting reasonable goals it has kicked me into thinking nice thoughts about myself. It's wonderful what she does. So not only has she helped me feel better about myself but the confidence I know have is all credit to her. I started wild swimming, I have a morning routine, I am more confident within my job and have really started to recognise my worth. Between the daily check ins on the group chat and weekly sessions with Ruth, I felt like I was never alone and the support from the group chat alone was amazing. It felt like a little team and if we wanted to we could. I never thought that having a life coach could do so much, but if you are in doubt, please go for it. And if you are going to do it, make sure it’s with the best it can change your life."

"'Where do I begin?' That’s what I kept asking myself before I met Ruth. I was nearing the end of my one-to-one therapy sessions and we had explored every dark corner I felt I had and really figured out what went wrong for me. It was then up to me to process that and actively change my future but 'where do I begin?'. Ruth was the secret ingredient I so desperately needed. I bit the bullet and went for my first ever session and before I knew it we had set achievable goals, agreed on my monthly affirmations (wait until you find out the power these puppies have!) and I was walking away into my first week of having a life coach. It is as simple as that. Ruth believes in you and that translates into the goals you set and achieve. If you're aiming too high, she'll tell you. If you're aiming too low, you know she's going to suggest something radical like a 5am swim in the sea to remind you that you're ALIVE and you ARE WORTH IT! Being held accountable for small, achievable goals soon snow-balls into bigger and better achievements and I cannot stress enough that if you are feeling lost, hopeless, lonely, overwhelmed, unmotivated, run down or any other negativity then give Ruth a try. Whether you stay for 1 or 100 sessions you will learn something about what it takes to be the best version of yourself that you can be and how you are the best tool you have to do it. Thank you Ruth, the world needs more people like you!"

"I went to Ruth in a bad way about 6 weeks ago, relationship broke down, basically felt worthless and very low which is NOT AT ALL me. She listened, we laughed, she gave me direction, she held me accountable for goals and targets we set together which made me very motivated to achieve them, she reminded me that I am good, I am strong, I am in control and that I can love myself again. We have done eye therapy, shes given me a anchor to ground myself if things aren’t going well, the list is endless and this lady has brought me back to the positive happy me I was before. She is the kindest person I have met and I hope we will remain in contact when our sessions come to an end. The group chat is also very good Thank you Ruth. You are amazing xx"

"A couple of years ago, I sought Ruth's guidance to navigate my work related stress and stresses I felt in the lead-up to my wedding. Ruth was excellent, using her expertise she instantly made me feel at ease and taught me techniques that I still use to help my stress and anxiety. The guided meditation sessions were particularly enjoyable, and I've since recommended her to friends who found her services beneficial. Ruth is genuinely a lovely person, and I believe anyone facing life's challenges would find her support worthwhile."

"Ruth was recommended by a friend who said he had found her a great help. I reluctantly contacted her. It was one of the best things I have done. I found Ruth very understanding and very helpful. She not only helped with my anxiety and depression but also gave me the tools for me to handle things in the future. We also did various relaxation activities. I would not hesitate to recommend Ruth to anyone who is ‘struggling’ with similar issues"

"I first met Ruth while both attending a Cold Water Dipping group (which is one of her many therapy techniques) She quickly gained my trust and I decided to engage in a number of sessions based in her calm and relaxing therapy room. I found her very attentive as she listened to my concerns as she guided me through a number of helpful techniques. One particular area was Timeline Therapy which had intrigued me for a number of years, and was particularly useful in releasing an emotional issue of which I was completely unaware, which had been holding me back. I would highly recommend speaking to Ruth - she is friendly, understanding, empathetic, and passionate about helping others to become their best selves."

I've met many people in my career, but Ruth truly stands out. She led a Wellbeing session at my workplace, bringing together colleagues from different roles and backgrounds. Her insights on mindset resonated with all of us, making the session thought-provoking and interactive. By the end, we had a deeper understanding of each other, strengthening our team. This is a session not to be missed—no matter your industry. Ruth’s thoughtful touch, including motivational cards and notebooks, made it even more special. Thank you, Ruth!

COLD WATER THERAPY

By Ruth Smith • August 13, 2024

Hello! Truthfully, I’m not too sure where to start since this is my first ‘proper’ blog post, but someone I know suggested that I start writing to document my cold-water therapy workshops journey as this is something I’m creating at the moment. To be totally authentic, English and word-finding aren’t a strong point of mine, so I will be using a little bit of magic to help me out with some parts. First a little bit about me, my name is Ruth Smith, and I am ‘The Feel Amazing Therapist’ a life coach and therapist based in Marske, my passion is changing people’s lives and ensuring they feel amazing by clearing the s**t from the past and providing tools to move forward. Although I do have a counselling qualification, I am very different from a counsellor, a client will never leave my office in a state of upset, they leave knowing they are amazing with tasks to do to help achieve their goal.
