(BSc Hons Human Nutrition, Diploma Ayurvedic Medicine, Senior Yoga Teacher)

“The body and the mind are not separate. You cannot effectively treat one without the other.”

If Matt is the structural architect of Your Health Roots, Ruth is the specialist who ensures the engine inside is running cleanly. She bridges the gap between clinical science and holistic living, holding the belief that health is an ecosystem, not a checklist.

Ruth’s foundation is built on rigorous science. She holds a BSc in Human Nutrition from Manchester Metropolitan University, where she specialised in Immunology, Clinical Nutrition, and Disease Physiology. This academic background allows her to interpret complex biological data—from food intolerance reports to gut microbiome maps—and translate them into practical, life-changing nutritional protocols.

The Missing Link: The Nervous System Early in her career, Ruth realised that even the perfect diet fails if the body is stuck in a state of stress. This led her to bridge the gap between “what we eat” and “how we feel.”

She expanded her practice into Ayurvedic Medicine and Trauma-Informed Yoga. She is not just a yoga teacher; she is a specialist in Nervous System Regulation. With advanced training in Kundalini (KYTA), Yoga for Mental Health, and Trauma Therapy, Ruth helps clients switch their internal systems from “High Alert” to “Heal.”

The Treatment Ethos Ruth’s approach is warm, intuitive, but deeply grounded in evidence. She doesn’t believe in restrictive diets or rigid dogmas.

“My role is to give you the tools to self-regulate. Whether that is through the food you eat or the way you breathe, I want you to become the expert on your own body.”

Clients often describe Ruth as “inspiring” and “thoughtful,” noting her ability to adapt to exactly what the person in front of her needs that day. Whether she is guiding a stressed executive through breathwork or helping a patient navigate a complex digestive disorder, her goal is always the same: to restore flow and balance to the system.

Life Outside the Clinic Ruth lives what she teaches. When she isn’t running the clinic with Matt or chasing after their two young boys, you will find her in the garden. She is a passionate grower, tending to her own veggie patch—because she believes the best nutrition starts in the soil. A lover of deep conversation, astrology, and music, she brings a vibrant, human energy to the clinic that makes every patient feel instantly at home.
