"Free to Perform is a complete and easy to follow guide for releasing the shackles that bind us. This book can set us free and help us return to our state of Flow. So, let’s get to it! Now is the time! Let us all perform with freedom once again."

"Free to Perform, by Ruth Chiles is a fascinating and thoroughly thought provoking read. Her latest book contains essential information and guidance for those contemplating taking that complex and often daunting step of walking out on to a stage to perform."

“This journey home, so beautifully and skilfully facilitated by Ruth, has the potential to heal and transform the lives and careers of so many performers and unlock healed creative potential in ways we have not seen before.”

“This very practical book shows us how to tap into our brain’s most valuable circuitry in order to liberate, learn, and perform in optimal states of being.”

“Free to Perform wonderfully captures the work I've been doing with Ruth for years. This is the one book that will stay on my desk, so that I may refer to it often. Ruth's ground-breaking approach is life-changing. She’s helped me tap deeply into my potential as a writer and a human. And I can’t believe I’m saying it, but she’s also given me the gift of playing music
again.”

“This book is a comprehensive roadmap to self-actualisation as a performer: relief from the suffering of performance anxiety, freedom to believe in oneself and one’s unique talent and the bravery and skills to present them to the world. Valuable to artists and performers alike, whatever the quality of their relationship with their art form.”

"The contribution that Ruth is making to our world is yet to be praised and recognized as it deserves. I am already a lucky beneficiary of it, and this book continues to share her knowledge and experience with all of us, as well as bringing peace, ease and joy to those who dedicate themselves to the art of bringing joy to others. If you love music-making more than
anything, without a doubt, Free to Perform is by far the best thing you´ll ever come across”

“Free to Perform is not just a book, this is a roadmap back to ourselves; a roadmap that many of us lost decades ago. My journey back has been filled with unexpected gems and surprises. Ruth is a master cartographer.”

“Ruth’s book really gets under the hood of how performance blocks develop. This was particularly valuable in getting a clear understanding of where we are and what we need to do next. Each tool is useful in its own right and they develop into a powerful method of moving from survival to safety and expansion. A powerhouse of a book!”

“This book gives the perfect way for the reader to understand their relational experiences and how they manifest in performance blocks. The exercises are a practical solution to these
blocks, and simple to follow.”

''The exercises in this book made me think less and feel more, opening a dialogue with myself, which in turn helped me to enjoy my relationships with others and most importantly myself.''

“Free to Perform is valuable in establishing five different individual frameworks for safely re-experiencing, re-transforming, and releasing neurophysiological survival blockages into new states of experienced performance freedom. The book presents five doors to performance breakthroughs and includes gently crafted exercises that can be applied immediately.”

“I felt so comforted after realizing that many others have the same issues I have, where they came from and that there is a way to heal these issues and blossom into peace and self- acceptance.”

“This book, as we say in America, "cuts to the chase", it gets to the heart of its theory, then into application, and eventually, with patience takes you to success.”

“This book is so full of great information. It truly has the keys to the kingdom. Such a wealth of information! Ruth has truly spotlighted the solutions! I love her generosity in all that she
shares in this sacred journey of self-discovery"

“My biggest lightbulb from the book was learning about how I have been approaching music (conceptually, in the practice room, and on the bandstand) and what my INNER STATE has
been during such times, and how disconnected I have been from the Flow state”

“This book and the exercises in it give us the tools to climb any mountain we have in our lives, while at the same time, still being kind to ourselves, keeping our internal calm and composure.
We have to master the exercises in the good times in order for them to be handy in hard times.”
