From the moment I met Ruby, I knew it would be perfect. She was so attentive, loved my fur babies, and I felt she actually heard everything I wanted for my first birth (and what I didn’t want). I didn’t want chaos, I wanted to feel strong and empowered, and I knew birth is magical. I wanted that magic. Ruby not only knows and feels that way, but she provided all the support for me to ensure I felt everything I wanted and needed. She was there for every step of the way as my partner and I were very disconnected. She was there for me as soon as I got to the hospital. She walked with me throughout the hospital with so many stairs because I just said let’s keep going (even through the rush of hormones was making me physically sick). She wanted me to eat, wanted me to drink, she supported my body  and mind more than I even knew at the time. We entered my room together and she immediately set up the tub, with lights and little fake candles (hospital birth, rules apply lol), and music (that I told her I wanted to hear during our session before my birth weeks before). She reminded me the whole time of who I was, what I wanted and my goals were, and how strong I am. Even when I was terrified of the next part, she was there. There aren’t enough words to describe the support, love and connection I felt with Ruby, but I knew she was there for me and my baby the whole time. She was an amazing support during my first birth, and I think that if she wasn’t there with me for my first, I would not have been so confident with my speedy second lol.

Ruby really tapped into her indigenous roots to facilitate and allow me to have the most authentic, powerful, and autonomous birthing experience I've had to date. Ruby's knowledge of womb work, her sweet but strong personality guided me through my first unmedicated home birth. Ruby was gentle with me through the chaos of rounding up my other children, very helpful in setting up the laboring tub with my husband, and kept me grounded while I endured the most painful contractions. She sang to me, held me, and reminded me of my inner strength. I am so grateful to have had this experience with her. I would do it 1000 times again.
