About Me

Hi, I'm Ruth! I have a background in child development and have been supporting families since 2011 as a caregiver. In 2015, I gave birth to my first child, an experience that profoundly shifted my focus toward education and support during the pregnancy and postpartum periods. Since 2017, I've trained as a Postpartum Doula, Birth Doula, and Newborn Care Specialist, completed the UCSD Lactation Consultant program, and become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Certified Doula, and I'm currently training in the Body Ready Method. This work is truly my calling.

Over the years, I've become what some call a "walking perinatal encyclopedia", but my knowledge is only valuable when it serves you and your unique journey. My philosophy is simple: your goals are my guide. I believe in meeting parents where they are, without judgment, and supporting you in making the decisions that align with your values and desires.

Whether you need lactation support, postpartum care, or newborn expertise, I bring both deep knowledge and genuine compassion to every interaction. You deserve to feel informed, confident, and supported throughout this transformative time.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is simple: your goals are my guide. I believe in non-judgmental, parent-led support, meeting each family exactly where they are and helping you make the decisions that align with your values and desires.

As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I'm able to provide feeding-focused postpartum support for all families, regardless of how you choose to feed your baby. My role is never to direct, but to bring deep knowledge and genuine compassion in service of your unique journey.

Overall, my goal is to help you feel informed, confident, and fully supported, empowered to make the choices that are right for you and your family, every step of the way.
