I've been working with Ruthi Cohen Joyner for about 8 months now. I live in Colorado and she lives in North Carolina, but that is no barrier to fabulous healing work. I've struggled with emotional eating all of my life (I'm going to be 60 this year). A little over two years ago, I made a commitment to myself that I would do whatever it takes to release the need to eat emotionally. This path eventually brought me to EFT, which eventually made me realize that I needed help to work through some very deep emotional traumas from childhood, specifically with Matrix Re-Imprinting. After some searching, and our initial consultation, I really felt moved to work with Ruthi. It was one of the best investments I have ever made. Ruthi has an amazing ability to sense the direction we need to go in our sessions. Kind, gentle and very supportive, she uses a number of different techniques to facilitate healing, including EFT and Matrix Re-Imprinting. I have been able to release so much fear, anger, and pain that I don't feel like I'm the same person who started working with Ruthi those 8 months ago. Now, I'm finally able to eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm satisfied. I'm able to let my feelings out now... instead of pushing them down with food. I've suffered from an underlying anxiety level, which always sent me to food in order to keep me from feeling that uncomfortable anxiety. Now that anxiety is almost all gone, and very manageable. I used to scream at drivers on my way to and from work... now I'm much more at peace and although I may get temporarily irritated with a rude driver, I'm no longer screaming at the top of my lungs. There are many more changes I have seen in my life that I don't have time to share here, but these are some of the more outwardly noticeable ones. I've lost about 25 pounds since making this healing transition, but that's a small thing compared to the love, kindness, compassion and acceptance I now feel for myself, my body, the world. I don't know where my life is going to go from here, but I look forward to a slow and steady return to my natural weight. I now know that I have the power, the ability, to do whatever it is I am "supposed" to do as I open myself up to my life purpose, and I know that I am deserving of every good thing. I can't thank Ruthi enough for her guidance, her support and her love through this incredibly deep work. read more

Ruthi is skilled, insightful and intuitive as well as warm, down to earth, and a real pleasure to work with. She blends many modalities in her own "signature blend," custom tailored to the situation and client. She really "gets it," and provides a safe space to learn, explore, and grow. read more
