The Story of Your Guide
Ruth Simmonds is a trauma-informed somatic energetics practitioner who specialises in nervous system regulation. Her passion and curiosity for understanding mental health began in childhood through personal experiences and hasn’t left her since. Her own healing journey began 2016 following a severe back injury that left her bed bound for 6 months, aged 24. Over the following years each challenge she faced contributed to deeper awakening; building and letting go of a successful business, a break up, moving country, financial struggle, covid, facing childhood trauma, sexual trauma and an 18-month-long concussion.
fuel for healing
Initially trained as a dancer/dance teacher through her challenges her desire to help people with pain led to further education in pilates, coaching, breathwork and finally came across Kundalini Activation in January 2023. Her path consisted of trying as many healing modalities as possible to understand the overwhelming feelings that accompanied her trials.
Among these were psychotherapy, feminine embodiment, adventure therapy, cold water therapy, somatic therapy, inner child work, IFS, sound healing, plant medicine, restorative yoga, functional breathing, breathwork, cranial sacral therapy, ecstatic dance and meditation.
Life Force Energy Healing (Kundalini activation) felt like the missing piece to unlocking innate wisdom and somatic healing. In June 2024 she trained in Bali with Rebecca Jax (featured on Amazon Prime’s Molly-Mae: Behind It All) and now facilities for Jax online as well as co-facilitating UK retreats with her.
What is life force energy healing?
Also known as Kundalini Activation, this healing modality brings alive a natural Life Force Energy within the body. It is neither breathwork or yoga but an energy transmission. As energy fields of the facilitator interact with the participants an energy exchange occurs attuning the frequency to that of the high frequency of Life Force. Think of life force as the essence of creation or the universe in motion.
Participating in these ceremonies can act as a declaration to commit to the souls evolution. This can initiate the consciousness of Kundalini to awaken and rise in the system. As the nature of Life Force Energy is to purify the system it requires a purging of lower vibration or energetic blocks from the system.
Energy healing and trauma
Looking through the lens of trauma this healing modality can bring to the surface suppressed or stuck energy to be witnessed, felt and released. When we experience something too overwhelming to process in the moment we move to survival strategies such as fight, flight, freeze or fawn-like behaviours to avoid feeling what is present for us. A likely occurrence if we have learnt that it isn’t safe to feel or our expression is not welcome. A form of disconnection from our feeling body takes place in that moment, helping us to cope with what we are facing. When this happens the sensations in the body are not fully processed and released out for the system. They get stuck in our cells, tissues and organs until we are ready to feel it and complete the process. Clearing our energy channels and bringing equilibrium to the body.
Simultaneously this modality invites trauma and past pains to be felt and healed whilst energetically upgrading your frequency - allowing for readily connection to universal intelligence. With a goal to evolve the soul, this energy will give momentum to the healing process, bringing clarity to your souls path and accessing higher states of consciousness.
“Ruth’s facilitation style is gentle yet powerful - rooted in lived experience and a deep understanding of what it means to come back into the body after long periods of disconnection. She holds space with clarity and care, helping others regulate their nervous systems, release stored emotion, and reconnect to their inner strength. With a strong belief in the importance of community and accessible healing, Ruth is committed to guiding others through their own transformations - wherever they are in the world.”
