About the facilitator
Ruth Kent is a sought after coach, consultant and facilitator in the workplace wellbeing space. Through her consultation and strategic development, she provides tailored programs and workshops in health and wellness for long-term behaviour change and support to both teams and leadership.
Her purpose is to educate, empower and energise in mindbody wellbeing.
She founded her business in 2014 to help people become mindfully aware of their health and wellbeing so that they can live and perform at their best. In her work she shares the latest evidence-based, woo-woo-free research in a down-to-earth and inspiring way.
With a lifelong passion for health and wellbeing, Ruth first learned to meditate at the age of 15, at a time when meditation was far from the mainstream. This motivated her to dive in and learn more about her own mind as well as get a better understanding of others and their unique health and wellbeing behaviours.
As well as almost 30 years of personal meditation experience and more than 20 years working in education, Ruth has extensive qualifications in the wellness industry, including:
- B.A. (Psychology/Art History)
- Post Graduate Diploma in International Public Health
- 500+ hours of yoga teacher training
- Level 3 wellness coaching
- MTT Master’s in Biomedical Meditation Therapy and Allied Health.
Ruth has consulted with and provided wellbeing workshops and coaching to many national and international organisations, including, but not limited to, Cochlear Ltd., Australian Ethical Investment, ANZ Bank, The University of Adelaide, Commonwealth Bank, and Cushman & Wakefield. She has also worked with some of Australia’s top celebrities and media brands to collaborate in memorable wellbeing-based campaigns and events.
Whether it is a full-day wellbeing retreat or an online lunch-and-learn, Ruth uses her extensive facilitation experience and her in-depth wellbeing and coaching knowledge to provide practical strategies that are easy to implement for both individuals and teams.
In her workshops she aims to always leave participants with plenty of tools to add to their own wellbeing toolkits. Ruth has also created a number of digital products which she shares with her participants.
She lives in Brisbane and loves escaping to the coast or mountains with her husband and her two loud and lively kids.
