Ruth used her passion (and degree) in Nutrition and Sport Science to set up a children’s cookery school in Oxfordshire, promoting healthy eating. In addition, she ran ‘survival’ courses to help students’ develop cooking skills before starting university. Twelve years teaching science followed and her focus continued, lobbying and succeeding in providing health and wellbeing sessions for her pupils. Her interest is still very personal, running three marathons, two ultra-marathons and raising over £70,000 for charity within the last 18 months. Throughout 2020, Ruth and her co-founder, Claire, saw, on both a personal and professional level, how dramatically the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns were impacting the health and wellbeing of so many. Their interests and experiences in Education and People Management converged and the idea for Looking After Me was born. Ruth and Claire believe that by looking after yourself, you can be the best version of yourself.
