Senior Instructor

Ruth Jones

Ruth Jones is an art teacher, Heart Sync Missionary and Christian leader. Originally from Northern Ireland, Ruth brings over 30 years of experience in Christian ministry, including inter-cultural mission work in Europe and local church leadership in Prayer, Healing, and Freedom ministry. Ruth's personal journey of transformation began during her missionary work in Greece with her husband Mike, where she developed Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome that lasted 16 years. After experiencing an extraordinary healing through brain retraining techniques, Ruth continued to struggle with trauma-related panic attacks rooted in childhood experiences. This led her and Mike to discover The Life Model, which integrates Christian spirituality with cutting-edge neuroscience. Through applying these brain-based skills combined with prayer, Ruth experienced profound freedom from panic attacks and emotional pain that had plagued her for decades. Her journey from trauma to triumph now fuels her passion for helping others find the same peace and emotional health. Ruth coaches individuals one-on-one in personal development and freedom prayer, and co-teaches the transformational skills that changed her life. Married to Mike for 28 years, Ruth is a mother of two grown children and brings both personal experience and professional expertise to helping others discover the peace that comes from understanding how God designed our brains to heal and thrive.

Vicar of Luton

Rev'd Canon Mike Jones

Mike Jones combines over 35 years of experience in Christian ministry He is a respected leader who has devoted himself to help leaders flourish which has taken him to study theology, Christian disciplines and neuroscience. An Anglican vicar, trained in the Life Model and Heart Sync which integrate Christian spirituality with neuroscience research. Mike's expertise in trauma and emotional healing was forged through personal experience. While cycling home to prepare for an Alpha course, he was struck by a car and trapped underneath as the engine burned into his chest. Rescued by two Muslim bodybuilders who lifted the car off him, Mike survived but developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that significantly impacted his memory, body, and emotions. Determined not to let trauma define his family life, Mike embarked on an intensive pursuit of Christian healing approaches combined with brain science. His focused application of Life Model skills and other evidence-based techniques led to such complete healing that a senior trauma counselor was shocked he had ever experienced trauma. Bishop Bill from the Anglican Church in North America says, "Mike knows more about calm than anyone I know." Mike's practical approach combines proven neuroscience techniques with deep Christian faith, helping people understand how their bodies and minds are designed by God to find peace. His teaching style is down-to-earth and accessible, making complex concepts simple for everyday application. Through his own journey from trauma to wholeness, Mike offers hope and practical tools for anyone seeking lasting emotional health and deeper intimacy with God.
