KEYNOTE

 

Ruth talks about her years as a high-powered journalist and the breakthrough which pushed her off the treadmill and helped her find true happiness and meaning in the simple things. A self-confessed workaholic, Ruth was a leading finance journalist in the 80s and 90s. But like many of the entrepreneurs she'd interviewed, she discovered first hand the true cost of "burn out". To avoid the fate that had befallen many of the millionaires she mixed with who died prematurely, ended up in jail, or lost a lot of money due to mental exhaustion, as the new millennium dawned she made a dramatic life change. Now a qualified raw foods and longevity expert, yoga teacher and international speaker she writes and talks about total Wellness and helps others create a new paradigm for the word true "success". Now also a consultant to the Spa Industry Ruth promotes “TOTAL” health: of body, mind, back pocket, and soul. www.ruthostrow.com
