Inner Work unlocks everything
Inner Work reveals the hidden truths about yourself, your relationships, the roles you play in life, and the systemic incentive structures that influences how you live, love and lead.
Which persona are you?
-
You’re carrying more than most people realise.
Behind your composed exterior lies a mind constantly planning for worst-case scenarios and shouldering responsibilities others don't see. This hypervigilance protects you but also exhausts you. Inner work can help you develop healthier ways to feel secure while releasing the burden of constant worry.
-
You’re stuck in patterns that feel impossible to change.
You've built systems and habits that once served you well but now feel like a prison. Despite your best efforts, you keep repeating the same cycles—in relationships at home/work, business decisions, or personal habits. Inner work can help you identify these patterns at their root, creating space for new choices and authentic growth.
-
The pressure to keep going is burning you out.
You've built your identity around achievement, but the constant drive is depleting your energy and joy. Behind the successful facade, you're exhausted. Inner work offers a path to sustainable success—one that honours your wellbeing and redefines productivity beyond endless output.
-
You wonder if the life you’ve built is the one you truly want.
You've climbed all peaks of success only to wonder if this was the only mountain range. The metrics and milestones that once motivated you now feel hollow. Through inner work, you can align your external achievements with internal values, finding purpose that transcends conventional definitions of success.
-
Your bookshelf is full, but your soul is still searching.
You’ve devoured every self-help podcast, went on many workshops, and can recite affirmations in your sleep—yet something’s still missing. Maybe it’s time to stop collecting tools and start facing what you’ve been avoiding. Real inner work helps you move beyond the endless self-improvement hamster wheel and finally reconnect with your deeper wisdom.
Self-honesty is the first step; taking action is the next.
Work with Ruth & Marcus
True transformation happens in relationship—not in isolation. As a couple who lives, works, and grows together, we embody the blend of yin and yang: feminine and masculine, therapist and coach, past and future. Our practice is a way of life.
The breakthroughs we help others achieve are those we practice in our marriage-meeting wounds with compassion, challenging each other to grow, and celebrating the joy of true partnership.
You're in expert hands: Ruth is a Compassionate Inquiry therapist trained with Dr. Gabor Maté, and Marcus has coached global leaders and founders for 20+ years, thriving as a solo-preneur for a decade. He trained with The Psychedelic Coaching Institute by Third Wave.
We work with both the human and the leader in you, moving fluidly between personal and professional themes. This integrative approach supports your whole self.
Client Testimonial
"I have learnt to balance the founder's life and personal life, as well as learning how to delegate and let go - in particular consideration of learned behaviors/motives. Marcus & Ruth are both great listeners, highly experienced, and very dedicated to helping their clients.
The sessions with them have been very complementary to each other. We customised the container based on my needs and, with my permission, they exchanged notes to inform upcoming sessions based on the learnings from past ones.
I have come to understand my inner voices - drivers and blockers - and the underlying motives. I have become more comfortable with ambiguity. And also Learning how to let go of things and get out of my head"
Mario, CEO at Climate Tech firm

Let’s connect
We know reaching out for inner work can feel vulnerable, so our first Zoom call is a genuine, no-strings-attached conversation. This free session adapts to where you are on your journey: if you're new to inner work, we can explore where to start; if you're further along, we can discuss how our unique therapy-coaching combination works.
You might want to interview us as practitioners, get specific guidance as your "psychedelic concierge," or simply explore possibilities. If someone else in our network would serve you better, we'll gladly make that connection.
Our commitment is to meet you exactly where you are, offering the right support for your next steps. Ready for an open, supportive conversation?
The Bigger Picture
Healing yourself and reimagining your future are deeply connected to the larger transformation our world is undergoing. We’re living through the Metacrisis—a web of interconnected multi-polar traps and a meaning crisis as old stories lose their power to guide us.
Every choice—even what we buy, consume, or watch—helps sustain late-stage capitalism, often against our intentions. It’s a wicked problem.
Seeing the bigger picture means recognizing these connections, avoiding quick fixes, and acting with thoughtful awareness. In this pivotal moment, the real question is: how can we learn from our ancestors’ wisdom and remain techno-optimistic, just as they were?
What kind of ancestor do you want to become?
