“It feels such a privilege when you get to walk literally and metaphorically; walk beside people in these kinds of transformations. It’s an incredible thing to do” ~ Ruth Steggles
Rose Dixey and Ruth Steggles teamed up in 2013 to breathe life into the collaboration known as “Fresh Air Fridays”. Online, in-person, community based or corporate, Fresh Air Fridays offers a range of programmes to create an oasis within your daily life.
From “Breathing Space” daily 30-minute virtual practices, half-day walk-shops and 12-week or month programmes, Rose and Ruth or their trusted facilitators unpack a theme through a combination of mindfulness, sensory activation practices and time for reflection.
Our conversations trace the emergence of Fresh Air Fridays and how the concept has diversified and touch on a myriad of topics with mindfulness, listening without commentary and self-awareness, all illustrated with an insight into participant journey’s along the way.

Ruth Steggles
In 2010, Ruth’s world fell apart when her daughter developed an eating disorder. With little help, she found what she needed to support her daughter to recover. She trained as a coach and founded Fresh Air Fridays where she and the team have helped hundreds of people with their mental and emotional wellbeing. She now works with parents who have a child with an eating disorder.

In 2012, Rose’s world was rocked on being told she had breast cancer. Exploring and using a variety of healing approaches, she found her way to become well and stay well. Partnering with Ruth to develop Fresh Air Fridays has been a complete joy, she particularly loves supporting the team of facilitators to live the life they really want. Rose also works 1-2-1 as an emotional healer.
