About Ruth Will

Welcome to my health coaching corner! I'm thrilled to have you here, and I can't wait to embark on this journey of wellness and self-discovery together.

My definition of healthy was based on a number on a scale, and a flat abdomen. When I was doing all the healthy things including being vegetarian and training for marathons, I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis. I knew there was increased likelihood of developing more autoimmunity, but I also knew that autoimmunity was not the norm I wanted to continue in my body! Frustrated with the lack of education and guidance around putting autoimmune dynamics in remission, I learned about some lifestyle changes I could implement, and about the term functional medicine. I learned over the next 12 years that the support I was looking for my thyroid was more than what even functional medicine could provide. I was able to put it into remission with functional medicine and dietary changes, but flare ups continued, which made me feel out of control - the ultimate undesired symptom.

The modalities of functional medicine, Functional Manual therapy(R), visceral manipulation, craniosacral therapy are my professional toolkit, with personal experience in the tools of homeopathy,  acupuncture/eastern medicine, yoga, Internal Family Systems, existential kink, and emotion code have helped me get to the place where I am now.

I'm amazed every time I treat the body with my hands, how it knows what it needs and is eager to have help. The greatest change I made was to relate to my body like it is just another person. It just wants me to pay attention and give it support so it can do what it knows best how to do - which is support me. Are you ready to be curious about your body, and learn how to collaborate with it?
