" I reached out to Ruth when I was experiencing bullying within the workplace and she helped navigate in a supportive and kind way through the correct process in which my employer wasn't following.

She guided through processes and protocols and navigated with HR with me and provided strength and reassurance thought out the ordeal together with my amazing wife. Ruth approached all dealings with us with kindness and heart as well as understanding the impact of this process on my mental health.

Ruth helped me feel empowered in any decisions I made along the way and explained all implications in a friendly and approachable way."
