Welcome to
some good news!
I am a comedian, performer, best-selling author and corporate speaker.
I work towards better mental health for us all…
A Day Retreat at my home.
You know that feeling, like your mind’s stuck on spin cycle, thoughts tumbling over and over, no clarity, just noise?
Yeah, me too. I’ve lived it. That inner critic who never seems to take a day off. But I’ve learned something powerful: you can find stillness in the storm. You can anchor yourself, even when the winds of doubt, fear, or chaos start blowing.
Join me, at my home, for a rare, intimate day retreat, where we’ll explore the spin cycle of our minds.

Retreat to Broughton Sanctuary.
This five-night immersive retreat with Ruby takes place at the UK’s leading luxury retreat centre.
Blending brain science, ancient wisdom, and creative self-inquiry, designed to help you rewire your thinking, calm your nervous system, and rediscover a sense of peace and purpose. I will offer workshops and tools to help you stop negative thinking patterns and teach you to understand that who we are is enough. If we can create a calmer environment inside us, it affects everyone around us.
My latest book
I’m Not As Well As I Thought I Was
Checking into a mental clinic wasn't exactly on my radar in 2022. Writing about it wasn't either. But here we are.
I spent a lifetime trying to create a 'front' to give everyone the illusion that all is well. It wasn't, and it isn't. Now I look back and I think, 'what the f*ck was that all about?'
I began the book trying to find meaning by going on various, life-changing journeys, I ended up in a mental clinic; obviously things didn't work out the way I expected. This is the story of what happened after the mental car crash . . . From then on, the journey had to turn inward. It turns out I wasn't looking for meaning, I was looking for home. I'm not a fiction writer. I can't fake it. I could say I rode into the sunset, but life isn't like that unless you're a cowboy. Truth is I'm not as well as I thought I was.
These days, trying to stay sane in a completely chaotic world makes life incredibly difficult. For those readers who are confronting unanticipated, or anticipated, mental health struggles of their own, I hope my words might provide reassurance and guidance.
