About The Author, Alison Ruks
Former corporate executive turned wellness advocate and author, Alison Ruks, is the founder of True North Wellness, a space created to support deep healing through intuitive care, grounded tools, and the integration of mind, body, and spirit.
Years after a life-altering "incurable" diagnosis with a predicted future of severe disability by 2016, Alison chose a different path.
Rather than accepting a fear-based prognosis, she followed her intuition, turning away from the conventional system and toward a more soul-led, nature-rooted approach to healing. What followed was a profound personal transformation and a full reclamation of her wellness.
She now combines her background in business and people and culture with over a decade of experience in natural health. Alison is a Chartered Herbalist, Reiki Master, intuitive wellness guide, and certified yoga instructor (studying under Laura Martini of Kelowna, BC). She currently serves as Executive Director of Connect Counselling & Therapy in Kelowna, BC, while providing education and soul-centered offerings through True North Wellness at her home in Lake Country, BC.
Her first book, What Do I Do Now?, is a free resource designed to support those standing at the edge of change. Her upcoming release, Healing Outside the System, shares the full story of how she was failed by the system, and how she reclaimed her wellness through deep listening, spiritual healing, and the integration of energy work, natural medicine, and radical self-trust.
Alison lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada, and is the proud mother of her greatest joy, her daughter. Outside of her work, she spends as much time as possible among trees and animals, grounding through nature, yoga, and meditation. Her deepest passion is sharing knowledge, courage, and healing with those who need it most, especially those who’ve been made to feel unheard, unseen, or uncertain on their path.
