In a heartfelt interview with MysticMag, Ruthy Doolittle shares her inspiring journey from the corporate world to becoming a therapist and change-maker, driven by her deep connection with animals and soul-calling to heal hearts and souls.
Her transition to complementary therapies was a natural extension of her innate kindness, marking the start of a unique path focused on elevating consciousness and spreading love.
Through her work, Ruthy has witnessed remarkable transformations, exemplified by the story of Charlie, a little sausage dog, whose life and his family’s well-being were dramatically improved through her intuitive healing techniques.
Addressing common challenges like anxiety and bereavement, Ruthy’s sessions with soulful women, their children, and animals blend bioresonance energy scanning, positive psychology, and intuitive teachings, as highlighted in her insightful conversation with MysticMag.
How did your journey as a therapist and change-maker lead you to focus on connecting and healing hearts and souls in such a unique way?
I’ve always been a giver and lover of animals, naturally kind and generous of spirit. Going into complementary therapies was a huge tonic to the cold and cutthroat corporate world I had worked in so it was a natural progression for me, more of a vehicle in which to express my natural self.
There is a HUGE lack of heart in the world and I couldn’t ignore my soul-calling no matter how hard I tried. My soul calling is quite specific, as a starseed I am here to help humanity rise in consciousness, raise the vibration of love on this plane, and help others to find their heart and access more love in their lives.
Can you share a specific success story of transformation from your work, highlighting the impact it had on someone’s life and well-being?
There are so many to choose from and client confidentiality is paramount to me so I can only share those stories when I have permission to do so.
One sticks out in particular, a little sausage dog called Charlie who hated everything outside of his lounge, made life miserable for his family as he wouldn’t go anywhere, not for walks, not in the car, and also hated visitors to his home and barked incessantly at all of these instances, often becoming quite distressed and wild.
It made it very hard for his family especially as the daughter had additional needs and the family had hoped he would help her to become less socially anxious and get out more. I worked with him in just one visit, I scanned his energy using the Healy bio-resonance device to rebalance his energy centers, meridians, and aura.
I used animal communication, a telepathic communication technique to connect with him on a soul level and find out what was going on from his perspective, explain a few things, answer his questions, and then treated him with Bach Flower Remedies a great support for the more subtle emotional energy body. The change was almost instant. He came and sat on my lap while I finished up my session, quite calm and pleased with himself.
The next day the family asked what we had done to him as he not only stopped barking at everything, he insisted on going out. It was short walks at first, then the car, then the beach, and then the vets, he went on to make doggie friends and got the whole family out and about and more sociable. You can only imagine how this impacted positively on his family and their wellbeing! It was magical to witness and not only brought a lot of peace to the home, it gave them all a new lease of life.
In working with open-minded, soulful women, their children, and animals, what common themes or challenges do you often address, and how do you help them navigate these issues?
Anxiety is a big one and so is bereavement. Often families come to me and through the initial session, which is usually related to undesirable behaviors of the animal, it comes to light that they (the family or person who booked me) don’t trust their intuition and would like to learn more. This work is always a journey back to the heart and requires a deeper heart connection and greater body awareness, often blocked by some sort of trauma in childhood. This is usually 1:1 in 1-12 sessions on Zoom depending on how deep the individual wants to delve into their life.
Animals can display anxious behaviors, often this is a pure reflection of their person’s inner world or sometimes their home life. Through my session, this leads to soulful wellness coaching which comes together to naturally guide and steer the person back to a balanced life where they are in the driving seat and making better choices for themselves to live a more meaningful life. I use a combination of bioresonance energy scanning, energy alignment, positive psychology, and practical tools to bring harmony to the home and health once again.
Bereavement is the inevitable downside to life, and I have been through my fair share of it. It is the bittersweet of being an animal guardian and can come with some very painful experiences. I help families to prepare for the transition through animal communication to see what the animal’s wishes are, to sharing ceremonies with families wishing to honor their animal or put together their ceremony, and to the afterlife, contacting their animal after passing over and communicating with them in spirit. All of these are hugely inspiring, comforting, and supportive for those I work with and often they come back for follow-up sessions. I also provide practical tips and guidance for families who are struggling and emotional support in the form of Bach Flower Remedies and talking therapies. Sometimes I work with my oracle cards, sometimes I get messages directly from the animal itself, and other times I receive guidance from my guides.
I used to visit people and animals in person, and also host huge events however due to the lockdown this proved that I can work on Zoom globally so now do that. It works better for me as I have a very rare and chronic illness and means I can remain at home yet reach my clients and those who need my kind of insight and support.
The combination of Animal Communication, Natural Wellness, Energy Techniques, and Intuitive Teachings is intriguing. How do these elements synergize in your sessions to create meaningful change for your clients?
See answer 2 for how it worked with the little dog Charlie and below…
There is so much more to this and not all of what I do comes into every session, sometimes being an intuitive I talk to the family and things just intuitively come out of my mouth. I am guided by a higher force, a bit like a channel and words flow from me. These are often exactly what the family or individual needs to hear, are completely unrelated to what we are talking about but hit the nail on the head for the individual as they say “How do you know that? ” or “Oh my goodness me I didn’t know how to navigate that…”
In my intuitive teaching circle, I often have animal oracle cards and they bring close-to-the-bone guidance for my members, then when I share my interpretation of the cards or their lives other intuitive messages come through which facilitate a deeper understanding or insight on an issue. It is very fluid and non-prescriptive. Either way, the combination of techniques seems to create a formula that either enables the client to empower themselves and rise above whatever grot they are processing or gives them the insight they need to have a different perspective on the matter OR creates huge shifts that mean the client is no longer stuck, is continuing on their personal development, making progress on their passion project., no longer having certain symptoms and therefore having a better quality of life. It does range from individual to individual.
One family booked me for an animal communication about their “smelly alsatian” When I communicated with this very sweaty hot dog, it became apparent that he had taken on the grief of the family and was trying to hold all of the family sadness inside while the family were stuck some 9 months on in a state of denial. They hadn’t taken the dog for a walk in over 9 months, they hadn’t opened a window, and they hadn’t packaged any of the deceased relative’s items up for others to rehome or take to charity. They had come home from the funeral and done nothing but eat takeaways. He was reflecting to them the rot they were accumulating by being stuck and stagnant. It wasn’t an easy conversation, the family was very sore and quite protective of their grief the way it was going, however with my empathic guidance and counsel they were able to see some things had to change urgently.
They hadn’t realized it had been 9 months and felt bad for not exercising the dog. He needed a clean water bowl, a clean food bowl, twice daily walks and the windows open at least for some of the days in the room he lived in. It did make a big shift profoundly to the dog as he stopped stinking and to the family as they were able to start to move forward from a very painful time in their lives.
Can you elaborate on the different formats in which you engage with clients, such as 1:1 sessions, VIP sessions, Groups, Monthly Circles, and Online Courses, and how each contributes to the transformative experience you offer?
I work in a few different ways, I no longer offer in-person face-to-face appointments and do everything on Zoom or via online courses and portals hosted by other heart-centered entrepreneurs. I do have a free Facebook group and email list where people can stay in touch with me and am most active on Instagram.
I am launching a brand new business collaboration that combines all of my work with other frequency healing devices and natural supplements via an affordable membership platform for people looking for alternatives and more natural approaches to their health and wellness, in particular around chronic illness. There is the option for members to have a consultation, one-off session, or 3, 6, or 12 months of individualized support from 3 highly trained and experienced therapists, myself included. This will be the new 1:1 and Group Work.
We envision this to help people get and stay well on their chronic illness journey, no matter what they are dealing with. In my instance, it is a very rare blood cancer and multiple organ amyloidosis that came with a 4-month life expectancy, some 26 months later I am still here and others have benefitted enormously from it too so that is quite exciting.
1:1 and VIP Sessions are carried out on Zoom for 90 min or 3-hour sessions. I always review them, their life, and their goal before we start and then take a scan of their energy as this is a good starting point and one we can go back to time after time. Sessions are a mix of energy alignment, embodiment works through breathwork and practical coaching on physical health, self-care, spiritual wellness, thoughts and feelings, passion and play, work and purpose, family, and relationships. As I believe (and most clients do too) that everything is connected and nothing is truly separate then any area of life can come up or need our attention, and we go there to create meaningful changes that support the individual and their wellness goals whatever they may be.
Monthly circles – I run small workshops around various sabbats of the year, and key spiritual festivals commemorating phases of the changing seasons to honor nature and our interconnectedness with nature. This increases harmony in our health and happiness, connecting with nature and coming together in sacred circles I believe is key to our healing on a global level. It starts with us. Some of the changes I have witnessed in this group work have been very personal and have benefited their intuition enormously, women feel seen and heard, and they love the support they receive and also the wisdom that comes up from being in a safe space. It is very healing on many levels.
Group work – I also run small workshops around energy alignment 101, realigning a person’s thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and mindset with more positive and supportive ones for leading a heart-centered life the tools I use here are takeaway so the individual is empowered to look after themselves using the techniques they learned on the workshop, they can let go of mental patterns, self-limiting beliefs, emotional baggage, and more aligned emotions that mean they can move forwards with a lighter load and focus on what makes them happy, from the heart center.
Online Courses – These are great because they allow individuals and families to learn at their own pace, in the comfort of their own home and because they are online I can keep costs quite low by increasing how many people can reach this sort of training. I teach Intuition 101 and An Introduction to Animal Communication. Both courses are very heart-centered and include many techniques and exercises to work on these more subtle communication tools along with guided meditations, and simple [practical breathwork activities to incorporate into their lives. They get the chance to practice with real-life animals and exercises which boosts their self-confidence and self-trust which in turn increases self-esteem and self-awareness, increases their intuitive abilities, or awareness of the abilities they always had they simply ignored or didn’t know how to use, and in turn, can make better decisions in life. It has a positive knock-on effect.
