# Ruth Steggles The Fresh Air Coach
Ruth Steggles provides specialist coaching and support for parents navigating the complex and isolating experience of having a child with an eating disorder. Based in Pentyrch, she combines professional expertise with lived personal experience to help families find their way through recovery.
Her approach recognises that parents are uniquely positioned to support their child's recovery, yet often lack the specific skills, confidence and emotional support needed to do so effectively. Ruth addresses the frustration of delayed professional help, the exhaustion of constant vigilance, and the profound isolation many families experience when battling an eating disorder 24/7.
What distinguishes Ruth's practice is her empathetic, non-judgmental philosophy. She helps parents move beyond blame and frustration towards strength, kindness and compassion—understanding that unless someone has walked this path themselves, they cannot truly comprehend the challenge. Her personalised approach respects each family's unique dynamics rather than imposing generic solutions.
Ruth creates safe spaces where parents can be brutally honest about how difficult life feels, ask the questions that haunt them at 3am, and receive answers grounded in both clinical knowledge and real-world family experience. She equips parents with practical tools that actually work, transforming feelings of helplessness into actionable steps towards recovery.
Rather than leaving families in darkness, Ruth positions herself as a guide holding a torch through every stage of the journey.
