Inner Work: The Key to Unlocking Your Life
Inner Work brings into sharp focus the unconscious scripts-shaped by childhood, education, and prevailing economic and social incentives-that once remained blurred or hidden in your shadow. When you see these patterns clearly, you can reframe your roles and reorient your life toward regeneration, starting with yourself.
Which path are you on?
-
You’re carrying more than most people realise.
Behind your composed exterior lies a mind constantly planning for worst-case scenarios and shouldering responsibilities others don’t see. This hypervigilance protects you but also exhausts you. Inner Work helps you develop healthier ways to feel secure while releasing the burden of constant worry, so you can finally reconnect with your true self-beyond relentless achievement.
-
You’re determined to end patterns that no longer serve you.
You notice the beliefs and behaviours passed down through your family, culture, or workplace, and feel the weight of changing them. Sometimes, it feels overwhelming or lonely to go against the grain. Inner Work supports you in healing intergenerational wounds and gives you the tools to create a new story for yourself and those who follow.
-
You’ve searched for answers in books, workshops, and self-help, but something’s still missing.
You've built your identity around achievement, but the constant drive is depleting your energy and joy. Behind the successful facade, you're exhausted. Inner work offers a path to sustainable success — one that honours your wellbeing and redefines productivity beyond endless output.
-
You want to lead with more authenticity, compassion, and vision.
You sense that traditional models of leadership no longer fit the world — or your own values. You’re committed to personal growth, not just for yourself but for your team, organization, or community. Inner Work helps you integrate self-awareness with outer impact, so you can create meaningful, lasting change.
Self-honesty opens the door; taking aligned action moves you forward.
Stories of Transformation

Dr. Alexander Bogner, Founder & CEO of truly
The journey Marcus and Ruth provided was just extraordinary. From the start with intense preparation, through the journey itself, holding the space in a loving and safe way, and afterwards with a meaningful integration phase.
I had a very clear goal for taking the journey: getting rid of smoking. The journey with Marcus and Ruth delivered: smoke-free since October 2024.
Having this altered state journey showed me very clear how everything and everybody is connected to universe and nature, reminded me of who I really am, and that this person is „just enough“ and that in the end that life is good.
Therefore, thank you so much Marcus and Ruth for this incredible journey helping me get the best version of myself. I am blooming with full awareness!

Dr. Mario Schmitt, CEO ecoLocked
I have learnt to balance the founder's life and personal life, as well as learning how to delegate and let go, in particular consideration of learned behaviours/motives. Marcus & Ruth are both great listeners, highly experienced, and very dedicated to helping their clients.
The sessions with them have been very complementary to each other. We customised the container based on my needs and, with my permission, they exchanged notes to inform upcoming sessions based on the learnings from past ones.
I have come to understand my inner voices — drivers and blockers — and the underlying motives. I have become more comfortable with ambiguity. And also Learning how to let go of things and get out of my head.

Allison Akhnoukh, Psychedelic-assisted Coach
I was extremely well supported in my preparation and integration work with Marcus for a recent journey experience.
His depth of experience as an executive coach combined with his knowledge of plant medicines gives him a unique ability to stand in both worlds.
As we are not located in the same geography, I worked with Marcus virtually for the preparation and integration with someone else holding space for me during my journey. Despite him not being with me on my journey day, I found it very easy to make a connection with Marcus and have him support me before and after the experience.
Work with Ruth & Marcus
True transformation happens in relationship—not in isolation. As a couple who lives, works, and grows together, we embody the blend of yin and yang: feminine and masculine, therapist and coach, past and future. This practice isn’t just our work — it’s our way of life.
The breakthroughs we help others achieve are those we practice in our marriage; meeting wounds with compassion, challenging each other to grow, and celebrating the joy of true partnership.
You're in expert hands: Ruth is a Compassionate Inquiry therapist trained with Dr. Gabor Maté, and Marcus has coached global leaders and founders for 20+ years, thriving as a solo-preneur for a decade. He trained with The Psychedelic Coaching Institute by Third Wave.
We work with both the human and the leader in you, moving fluidly between personal and professional themes. Our integrative approach supports your whole self-so you can heal, grow, and lead with authenticity.

Begin the Conversation
Reaching out for inner work can feel vulnerable, so our first Zoom call is a genuine, no-strings-attached conversation. This free session adapts to where you are on your journey: if you’re new to inner work, we’ll help you explore where to start; if you’re further along, we can discuss how our unique therapy-coaching blend can support your next steps.
You might want to interview us as practitioners, get specific guidance as your “psychedelic concierge,” or simply explore what’s possible. If someone else in our network would serve you better, we’ll gladly make that connection.
Our commitment is to meet you exactly where you are, offering honest guidance and the support you need for your next step. Whether you’re seeking clarity, integration, or a safe space to ask questions, we’re here for you.

Becoming a Good Ancestor
Healing yourself and reimagining your future are inseparable from the transformation our world is undergoing. We’re living through the Metacrisis — a web of interconnected challenges where old stories no longer guide us.
Every choice — even what we buy, consume, or watch — shapes and sustains the systems around us, often in ways that conflict with our deeper intentions. It’s a complex, “wicked” problem that calls for more than quick fixes.
Seeing The Bigger Picture means recognising these connections, honouring the wisdom of those who came before us, and acting with thoughtful awareness. In this pivotal moment, the invitation is to become the ancestor your descendants will thank.
What kind of ancestor do you want to become?
