"After helping people improve their health for over 20 years, I observed repeatedly that knowing and pursuing the things that give us meaning and delight is as important a health practice and predictor of vital aging as any other lifestyle measure we can take. I am passionate about helping people in mid- and later life connect with what's next and begin taking important steps to make it happen"
                                                                                                                                                         ~Ruth Tongen

"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 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 Tongen is part strategist and part coach. She brings a wealth of expertise to her work with you:

• She has specialized in the transition process, having helped people, employees and organizations move through change.
  
• She is certified as a Senior Practitioner in Human Resources and understands the process of leaving an organization, exit strategies, and succession planning.
• 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 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.

And the added dimension Ruth offers...

• She is also a registered nurse  who has helped people seeking and maintaining better health for over 20 years.
  
• She has a master's degree in Eastern 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.
