Mother Me is devoted to helping mums in and around Edinburgh, offering birth and postnatal doula support and baby massage classes.
My name is Ruth Watt and I am passionate about enabling mums to really enjoy those early weeks and months with a newborn, a time that so often speeds by, and helping them feel more like they wished it could go on forever instead of feeling 'how long is this going to go on for!'
I have two gorgeous girls, Ellie 7 and Ruby 3, and have used massage with them from birth. They are very relaxed, calm, loving children (don't get me wrong, they have their moments!), and I am sure massage has played a part in this. I trained as a massage therapist just before Ellie was born and while pregnant with Ruby did additional training to teach baby massage.
My experiences of birth were both so different and it was the fantastic support I received while having Ruby that led me to become a doula. I am fascinated by the whole birth process and love supporting women and their partners at such a life-changing time.
My philosophy on childbirth is that there is no right or wrong, it just happens and occasionally in a way you least expect! Going into it with an open mind and feeling informed, safe and supported gives the best possible chance of having a positive experience.
