'Ruth Ostrow is one of Australia's leading BodyMindSoul writers, as well as a change consultant and life coach with her regular 'Heart & Soul' contribution in The Weekend Australian newspaper [...] and a host of books to her credit in the areas of human relations, sex and relationships, financial fitness, well-being, and spirituality.
A leading finance journalist in the 1980s with The Australian Financial Review, and author of a bestseller on the secrets of success, she traded spreadsheets for bedsheets on her return from living in New York, becoming famous for her writings on sexuality and her controversial radio program on Triple M. Throughout the 1990s [Ostrow] defended the right of people to speak freely about sex and tell the truth about marriage and relationships before deciding it was time to work on her own life.
As the century drew to a close she moved her family to Byron Bay where she now writes about spirituality and life matters, as well as the voluntary simplicity movement, downshifting, alternative lifestyles; death and grieving, health and wellness, longevity and aging, WorkLifeBalance, and a range of emotional issues such as parenting, loving, and sacred sexuality. She has become involved in the study of eastern philosophy, yoga, mythology and sacred psychology. She continues to promote the human body as temple of the soul and is involved in teaching people to recognise the inspiring lessons, gifts and teachings inherent in their own lives.'
