Let’s chat!
Be in Touch
I take on a limited number of births and postpartum families each month so as to be able to fully support each family. It’s never too early (or too late!) to get in touch - no question is too big or too small! I am always happy to chat about anything related to your pregnancy to parenthood journey.
What People Are Saying
“Ruth was an absolutely invaluable support, resource and friend”
Ruth was an absolutely invaluable support, resource and friend during our labour and postpartum period. I honestly don't know how we would have gotten through our challenging labour without her comfort measures, balanced guidance/advice and unwavering support. She encouraged us to follow our intuitions in learning to care for our newborn. She was a huge help with breastfeeding and I know I wouldn't have been as successful as I've been with it without her support! We can't recommend Ruth highly enough - she brings out the best in you as new parents and believes in letting you make informed decisions that are best for your family, and this was so empowering for us. Thank you Ruth from the bottom of our hearts!
