Welcome to Honoring Women

Welcome!  This is a place of inclusion and empowerment. My goal when I started this work was to empower women in whatever way I could to help them lead the life they wanted. What a better way to start that than at the birth of their family? As time went on, I found the emotional significance of the pregnancy and birth. I realize how it impacted not only the birth experience but the entire lives of the new parents. Because of this, I searched to meet the needs of those families.

I teach childbirth classes in an outreach setting for nonprofits around Palm Beach County. I also teach private classes from general childbirth classes to Hypnobirthing. I have helped countless moms breastfeed, assisted in writing birth plans, and welcomed many babies into this world. I help moms sleep at night with overnight doula baby care, and during the day with postpartum doula work. I also offer virtual help to all the little questions parents seem to have and need answers from a trusted source. I have experience in twins, triplets, VBAC, teen moms, hard won pregnancies, preemies, high risk pregnancy, same sex couples, single mothers and much more!

You can be assured that if you live in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach to Boca Raton, and all the way out to Wellington that we can find someone who will be a match for you. We cover from Port St. Lucie all the way to Miami, Florida. We even have doulas all over the country! Illinois, Wisconsin, Georgia, Virginia, California, Colorado, Hawaii and even as far as Alaska. Each year our network of doulas grow as we keep traveling and expanding!  We train our own doulas and require them all to have great integrity in the services we provide.

Once I realized that I could not do it alone, I decided to take instructor trainings. After training for CAPPA for 8+ years, I now offer WHW Labor Doula trainings, Lactation training for professionals as well as WHW Childbirth Educator trainings.  I continue my own training so that I can continue bringing the most accurate evidence-based information to the women who trust me with guiding them to the path they determine.

Whatever reason you have come here today, I hope you are able to find a path to the answers you seek. Whether you are a newly pregnant parent who is ready to learn but not sure where to start, or another human being who is wanting to help nurture and empower others through the process. I am here to help you in the best way that I can with great integrity, positive intention and acceptance for where you are in your process and hope to guide you to your goals. May we help each other fulfill our current purpose.

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…

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…

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

Labor Doula Training

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!
