How I’ve helped others

  • “I felt I could trust you the first time we spoke, so I was eager to continue the coaching. Working with you really saved me from a burnout, I would say! Our coaching sessions gave me a spark of light during the week and helped me to overcome a very challenging time in my life […] I also wanted to tell you the great news that I finally got the pay rise I had asked for thanks to you!”

  • “There were many benefits to the coaching. One main one was that I gained more confidence to be in spaces at work that I didn't feel comfortable being in. The practices I learnt of taking time for myself to ground before meetings and having tools to centre myself when I'm around people have really helped me.”

  • “We had a fantastic embodiment workshop facilitated by the talented Sheila Ruiz (who is also a Board member of TSIP Labs CIC). It has been an incredibly busy few months at TSIP - and this session taught us the importance of slowing down to listen to our bodies and minds - which in turn will enable us to show up to our projects to the best of our abilities. Thank you, Sheila!”

  • “Just slowing down and coming into my body during the sessions was invaluable. I also learnt a lot about how certain poses of my body can change my energy and my emotions. I love the self-care pose and learning to open up my body even when my default is to shrink up and shut down. I feel more able to welcome my feelings and not feel like they will overwhelm me and I also feel like I am able to comfort myself more.”

  • “From our very first call, Sheila got straight to the heart of things. She has a way of combining conversation with body-focused exercises that creates a truly holistic approach to growth. Her empathy and thoughtfulness make every session feel safe and meaningful. I always look forward to our time together - it leaves me both energised and grounded. Working with her is an experience that helps you grow, connect, and feel seen.”

  • “Your sessions helped me reframe the place I was in. I'm incredibly grateful for the time and care that I got, and how even the few sessions I did taught me some new ways of thinking, to embed into my day. My main benefit was getting some tools to try to shift negative energies in the body and brain and to begin to focus my aims and goals (still working on it!)”

  • “It was an eye opener understanding how the body keeps score of the myriad of experiences we go through and how to recenter and check in regularly. The coaching session helped me understand how emotions manifest in the body and how to reset my body into a more relaxed and comfortable state.”

  • “My main takeaway? Embodiment is mind <-> body. I enjoyed learning about the awareness of feeling… A greatly facilitated session. Thank you – it wasn’t long enough!”

  • WWW (What worked well): Your introduction. Your tone of voice is very relaxing. Your knowledge of the subject is great. Great helpful tips. EBI (Even better if): If there was a family course, I’d come with my younger child.
