"Ruth gave me a space to wonder (wander) about my life. She supported me and helped me find simple steps to get moving on things I had put off (and frankly was a bit afraid of) doing."  -D.S.

What makes partnering with Ruth unique?

Ruth Tongen is part strategist, part coach, part health advocate. She brings a wealth of expertise to her work with you.

Ruth forms deep connections with her clients. She will help you begin living a happy, healthy next phase of your life that makes sense for you.

• Ruth is a board-certified professional coach, having completed hundreds of hours of education, supervised practice and board exams vs. simply calling herself a coach. She is also certified as a Professional Retirement Coach.
• She has worked and been certified as a Senior Practitioner in Human Resources and understands the process of leaving an organization, exit strategies, and succession planning.
• She has specialized in the transition process, having helped people and organizations move through change.
• She has taught and worked with new entrepreneurs starting businesses and knows how to help people focus and align with their gifts and interests around new ideas to make them happen.
• She has a background in geriatrics, so she understands (and is living) the gifts and challenges of aging.

Here's the added dimension Ruth offers...
      A focus on healthy living.

• Ruth is also a registered nurse  who has helped people seeking and maintaining better health for over 25 years.
  
• She has a master's degree in Asian medicine. This added paradigm taught her to more fully focus on systems vs. parts; individualized needs based on how you are wired vs. blanket advice; health vs. disease; and a broader look at how we approach life's impact on our health and longevity.
  

"Ruth was the catalyst
who helped me envision and live into new possibilities."

Partner with Me and Get to What Matters Most for You

Planning this stage of life calls for a new way of taking inventory.  I will serve as a listener and discussion partner. I use learning and discerning exercises to engage your curiosity and integrate direction from the deeper, truer, authentic part of you so you can get unstuck and live your retirement years with significance. You will be amazed how quickly you will move forward doing what makes sense for you.

I work with people all over the country. We will meet in person, online, or by telephone and consistently focus on you. We can begin wherever you currently find yourself and stop when you feel ready to do things on your own.

Most people I work with are quite accomplished. They recognize that partnering with me will help them create a new vision or get past a critical sticking point in much less time.
