Welcome to Mother Me
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 8 and Ruby 4, 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.

Testimonials
"We felt supported emotionally in the birth choices we had made and simply knowing Ruth was at the end of the phone at anytime was reassuring. When I was in labour, Ruth came to the house and her support was invaluable. She was able to find a perfect balance between being hands on and practical and offering emotional support and this time I felt I had really got the birth I had so wanted."
Mum to baby B
"Ruth's knowledge and understanding of my desire to have natural childbirth really helped me make my pain relief decisions. At the end of the first stage of labour she was very reassuring (both to me and my husband) and she was a very calming presence when my birth plan went out of the window!"
Mum to baby M
"It gave me a lot of confidence having someone around who understood what it was like to be a new mum. It is such a huge learning curve and very little can prepare you for having babies. Having Ruth around was like having a fantastic instruction manual that you don't have to read!"
Mum to twins H and M
"I feel that Ruth helped get me off to a great start with my babies and helped me establish a great routine for them. Nine months on I am still breastfeeding and feel I probably wouldn't have continued had it not been for the huge amount of encouragement and support Ruth gave me early on."
