YH26-32. Ruth Minnis the Calming Spirit

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast Leave a comment

Your health is your choice with Sara Troy and her guest Ruth Minnis. On air from August 11th

I believe my calling is to bring healing and shine light into places where pain, fear, and darkness have taken hold. It has been the thread woven throughout my entire life and the work I was created to do. 

Whether through massage therapy, Reiki, energy healing, intuitive guidance, sound, or simply holding compassionate space, my purpose is to help people reconnect with hope, awaken their innate capacity to heal, and remember that they are far more resilient and whole than they may believe. 

Every session is an invitation to quiet the noise, restore balance, and rediscover the wisdom that already lives within them. 

My life’s work has always been to carry light into dark places until others can see their own light again. 

There is no greater privilege than witnessing someone leave feeling lighter, stronger, more peaceful, and deeply connected to themselves.

Ruth Minnis is the founder of Ruth’s Healing Arts, where she has dedicated her life to helping others restore balance, discover hope, and reconnect with their authentic selves. 

A Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master Teacher, and intuitive energy practitioner, Ruth weaves together therapeutic massage, Reiki, craniosacral therapy, reflexology, sound healing, aromatherapy, and other restorative modalities to create deeply personalized healing experiences.

Known for her compassionate heart, calming presence, and intuitive insight, Ruth believes true healing begins by addressing the whole person—body, mind, heart, and spirit. 

Her passion is creating safe, nurturing spaces where people can release what no longer serves them, remember their inner wisdom, and move forward with greater peace, clarity, and purpose.

Above all, Ruth believes that every person carries within them the capacity for healing. Sometimes all they need is someone willing to hold the light until they can see it for themselves.

When she isn’t working with clients or teaching, Ruth can often be found exploring the beauty of nature, collecting stones and fossils along the Oregon coast, studying personal and spiritual growth, and continually deepening her understanding of the many ways healing unfolds.

C26-32. Michael Wood, Learn To Love Being You.

For most of my life, I lived with a constant noise in my head — fear, self-doubt, and the kind of quiet anxiety that turns every situation into a problem. Through years of intense internal work, meditation, education, and facing the fears I’d been running from, I found something I didn’t know existed: real, lasting peace. And once I had it, I started seeing pain everywhere — in friends, family, strangers — people who had simply normalized feeling bad. That’s why I built Learn To Love Being You: to give people the actual mechanical tools to take control of their minds, rewire the subconscious programs running them, and remember who they are underneath all the noise. My message is simple — your thoughts aren’t who you are, your pain doesn’t have to define you, and peace isn’t something you have to earn. It’s something you come back to.

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Terisse Louise Bell Walker. On air from

For more than four decades, I’ve watched hardworking families and business owners do everything “right,” yet still find themselves financially vulnerable when life unexpectedly changes. After experiencing personal loss, career transitions, and becoming a caregiver for my aging mother, I discovered that my greatest purpose wasn’t simply building a business—it was building people. Today, I help individuals, families, and aspiring entrepreneurs create stronger financial foundations through education, protection, leadership, and business ownership opportunities. My message is simple: when we lead with purpose, serve with integrity, and invest in others, we don’t just change financial futures—we create legacies that impact generations.

C26-32. Kathleen Tonnesen -Art Beyond Sight.

An Artist’s Search for Creative Ways to Overcome Life’s Obstacles: How Shioda Yoshinkan Aikido Helped Me See Beyond the Light

In our previous interview in 2018, Kathleen Tonnesen publicly shared her journey with vision loss—an experience she found deeply helpful. Since then, practising Shioda Yoshinkan Aikido has opened a new path in her rehabilitation and artistic development.

Kathleen believes the discipline and intense focus of Aikido have helped her retrain her right eye to read, draw, and paint again. Although this is her personal experience rather than a medical conclusion, she feels the practice may have helped her brain develop new pathways and delayed the progression of her vision loss.

Since 2023, Kathleen has continued forging a new artistic path. Her work reflects her changing vision and explores light, balance, geometry, human interaction, and connection beyond sight. Her focus is on developing skills that expand the creative boundaries of the heart and mind.

As Kathleen says, “Your life is an unfolding rose in the bouquet of God’s love.”

Current Art Exhibition: Energy

August 7–29, 2026
Mole Pop-Up Gallery
Rear of 1157 Pendrell Street, Vancouver, BC
Access through Jepson-Young Lane
Curator: Quentin Wright

In this solo exhibition, Kathleen explores the felt sensations of balance, timing, posture, and geometry found within Shioda Yoshinkan Aikido. These works are presented alongside large botanical paintings celebrating colour, creativity, resilience, and the continuing evolution of her sight.

Kathleen Tonnesen, known artistically as Katon, is a Canadian self-taught painter, sculptor, author, poet, and inventor. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, she immigrated to Canada in 1998. A professional artist since 1990, Kathleen creates meaningful, thought-provoking work that enriches public spaces and connects communities.

She is also a certified Shioda Yoshinkan Aikido instructor and Shodan—first-degree black belt—currently preparing for her Nidan, or second-degree black belt, test. Drawing upon her experience in psychology, early childhood education, performing arts, visual art, and martial arts, Kathleen inspires personal growth and encourages adults to rediscover their inner child.

Following vision loss, Kathleen used the discipline and intense focus of Aikido to support her rehabilitation. Through consistent practice, she retrained her right eye to read, draw, and paint again. Since 2023, her evolving artwork has explored light, human connection, and perception beyond sight.

Kathleen’s artistic roots were inspired by the charcoal portraits of her South African grandfather, Charles Holton Peers.
