Licensed & Certified Professional Midwife


Welcome to GWB
Hi, I'm Ana Ruiz—Licensed Midwife, Women's Health Practitioner, and Founder of Gentle Womb Birth.
For more than eight years, I've had the privilege of supporting women and families through fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and reproductive wellness. My practice is built on the belief that caring for the reproductive body requires more than clinical expertise alone—it requires understanding the interconnectedness of hormones, nutrition, pelvic balance, the nervous system, and each person's unique story.
Through evidence-informed midwifery care, functional nutrition, integrative reproductive bodywork, and collaborative decision-making, I provide personalized care that supports your body through every stage of the reproductive journey. Whether you're preparing for pregnancy, navigating fertility concerns, preparing for birth, or recovering postpartum, my goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way.
One of the most meaningful aspects of my practice is Integrative Reproductive Bodywork, inspired by the traditional practice of sobadas that has been passed through generations in my family. Guided by both ancestral tradition and modern midwifery education, I thoughtfully integrate hands-on bodywork into reproductive care to support comfort, balance, and overall well-being.
My path into this work began while attending midwifery school, where I served as both a birth doula and childbirth educator. Supporting families in both hospital and home birth settings affirmed what I had long felt—that this work was my calling. Those experiences continue to shape a practice grounded in compassion, clinical excellence, and whole-person care.
Above all, I believe the best outcomes come from a partnership built on trust, education, and shared decision-making. Every person who walks through my doors deserves to feel seen, heard, respected, and cared for—not just as a patient, but as a whole person.

Why It Matters
With the unique lens of midwifery experience and somatic bodywork, I offer a grounded, intuitive care that supports the reproductive body across fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My work focuses on optimal fetal positioning, pelvic balance, pain relief, and emotional regulation - supporting a smoother, more supported transition into birth and postpartum.
