Professional Training

I feel so lucky to have had the privilege of attending the Rebozo Training taught by Ruth Kraft. I have been a midwife for 19 years and have attended several other trainings geared toward using the Rebozo as a tool. I have always walked away overwhelmed, undereducated, and unable to incorporate the information into my practice. Ruth changed all that. Her simple approach and hands on teaching left me feeling inspired, well educated, and determined to use the knowledge in my midwifery practice. Success! I am happy to say I have incorporated the techniques into my practice and am joyous about the outcomes.

I contacted Ruth for a potential virtual lactation course. She mentioned she had never done a virtual class before but was willing to give it a go and asked me to be patient with her (she was totally fine!). I am a Registered Nurse and wanted to take a lactation class but due to my work schedule, I wasn’t able to travel to her location. She is very professional and she did great with the virtual aspect! I learned so much from her! Her extensive amount of experience shines through with her various examples she can provide while teaching. I throughly enjoyed her class! She was very accommodating and I really appreciated her giving the virtual training a try! I would highly recommend Ruth’s class. She is very talented with teaching, kind, accommodating, knowledgeable, and full of experience!

Ruth Kraft is an amazing Doula, Childbirth Educator, mentor, and woman. Her scope of knowledge in the pregnancy/childbirth/postpartum world is what prompted me to choose her out of the many, many educators out there to further me in my training to become a Doula. Beyond that, she is always extremely willing to help out whenever I have reached out, and truly helps you feel empowered as a woman in any capacity. More importantly, her integrity and ethics are what make me feel like I could entrust her with myself, my baby, and my family.

Ruth is a well-known and well-respected educator in the community for good reason. The tools I learned during her doula training have proven to be invaluable. I am proud to say that I was trained by her, and I appreciate that she is available for continual help and support.

I took my labor doula course last year with Ruth, she is an incredible instructor. She provides so much knowledge and information, I respect her tremendously! You can’t go wrong having her as an instructor or a doula for that matter

I attended a labor doula training course taught by Ruth in April 2016. It was an amazing intense two day training course in beautiful Hawaii and it was worth every second. The knowledge and skills I brought from the training and have been invaluable to me as a doula and the passion Ruth has for birth work I simply cannot put it words! She was just brilliant! I still seek her counsel a year later. If a training or class pops up in your area taught by this above and beyond birth worker please consider taking it!

There are not enough kind words in the world to describe what a wonderful person Ruth is. I did my Labor Doula Training with her and it was excellent. I was engaged the entire time, she used real life events, and she made sure we understood what being a Labor Doula really entails. When I decided to become a Childbirth Educator, there was no one else I wanted to take the training with than with Ruth. When I needed help and advice on a few births, she was readily available to answer my questions. She is always professional and all she does and I can’t wait to some day work along side of this beautiful being.

Before ever meeting Ruth I assisted the LM I work with attending the birth of one of Ruth’s CBE clients, an interesting couple and if not for her support I wonder if they would have been a homebirth couple at all. It is refreshing to have an independent childbirth educator in the WPB area that supports natural childbirth and homebirth as choices. I first met Ruth online and was impressed with her photos.
