About me...
Hi, I am Ruth, a midwife, and a nurse with complementary studies on Aqua Natal, Hypnobirthing, and Breastfeeding. Welcome to Bump to Baby Academy, this is the home to everyone who wants to celebrate life!
I couldn’t imagine my life dedicated to a different purpose than supporting women and being there where life begins. I always wanted to be a midwife, and every time I realize I already am one, a little, proud smile forms on my face.
I would love to use this section about me to talk about this platform, a place for everyone to feel at home on this amazing journey, because this is about you, not about me.
I’ve always wanted to create an inclusive space for everyone, regardless of where you were born, the type of birth you want to have, the way you want to feed your baby, or what you do. I always see beauty in diversity and a learning lesson from everyone.
I love surrounding my knowledge and experience with drawings that take the rational world to a more fantastical one. It is part of who I am—joyful, someone who does not take myself very seriously, passionate and a positive soul.
I am grateful for my life, for the experiences gathered during my journey in this world, for the people I have met and the lessons shared, for my family, and for everything that my mind creates. I put so much love into what I do.
Other than guiding Bump to Baby Academy, my best achievement has been creating the lives of my three babies and being their mother . This is the best thing I have ever done; to be a mother is the most challenging race I have ever run. I have never learned so much, cried so much, laughed so loud, felt so proud, stronger, and determined since I became a mother.
I am a nurse and a midwife; I always wanted to be both, and my professional heart belongs to these two amazing professions. Before I created Bump to Baby Academy, I worked in different countries and continents, I also worked for years for Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). Those years working in the most remote places of the world are a part of my blueprint and completely changed the way I understand life.
Being a traveler is another huge part of me. I have traveled for years solo with my backpack, with my partner, and we recently did a year and a half of backpacking traveling with our three kids and that was a life changer experience.
I can’t imagine my life without these pillars: my family, my profession, and traveling.
I hope you feel at home in this place because, as I said, this is not just about me; this is about you! Welcome to this beautiful community!
