Collin Ruiz has a Masters Degree in Nutrition, is an online health coach, a wonderful single mother, a great friend, and she also spent 2 years in federal prison as an innocent woman. Her story, observations, and life philosophies are a must read in the "page-turner" book titled Buddha Behind Bars.

Collin chose to approach this tragic life chapter with a Buddhist perspective, taking vows and going to a "monastary" vs a prison, being present, observing, and growing as a soul. Life after prison, a halfway house, and probation could bring some people's lives into a spiraling stress case, but not Collin. Today, she has taken all that she learned from her experience, and is helping others seek personal freedom from their mind, body, and habits.
