Prescription for joy

Author of THE PRESCRIPTION FOR JOY, Williams has enJOYed a fulfilling career as a psychotherapist in private practice in addition to serving in the broader field of mental health and social services. In 1999, Williams responded to an inner "call" to take her message of healing and hope to a larger audience.  An amateur singer/songwriter, poet, writer, and photographer since youth, she often incorporates these gifts in her programs, encouraging others to discover their own unique passion in life. She has an innate and instantaneous ability to connect with individuals, groups, audiences or congregations. Her unique sense of humor and ease in many different situations works well with all age groups.

To those who know her, Ruth R. Williams, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) personifies her "Joy Prescription." Through her own personal and professional life experience, Williams discovered what she believes are five basic ingredients for managing life in a less stressful and more joyful way. Through her book, her blog, her seminars, and one-on-one life coaching, she seeks to "share the JOY" with as many as possible! 

1.  Accept who you are.
2.  Be awake, aware, and present for Life.
3. Experience life fully.
4. Let go of the things you can't control. 
5. Share with others and celebrate our Oneness. 

Research continues to show that stress can often be a contributing factor in disease (dis-ease) or ill health. We are experiencing a health  crisis in our nation, affecting us mentally and emotionally (and, yes, even spiritually) in addition to the devastating loss of life from its physical effects! Learning how to de-stress not only makes life more enJOYable, but can actually strengthen one's immune system and resistance to disease. We all deserve to be healthier - in body, mind, and spirit. Williams helps lead the way.
