Ruth Allen, Geo-therapist
Enabling you to think, feel, move & write differently. Exploring how to live. Nurturing your ecological self back to life.
Ruth Allen, PhD (MNCPS)
Ruth is a writer, embodied outdoor psychotherapist and facilitator working primarily outdoors in landscape, and online. Combining her background in geology, with innovative body-based and creative techniques drawing on a multitude of teachings and influences, she offers therapy, mentoring, workshops, classes and adventure retreats - all practical, slow magic - designed to help others connect with their bodies and the rest of nature in expansive new ways, for the greater whole-health of planet and people.
