Ruby Tuttle

Dv-laa-ha~, Shii Ruby Tuttle. Shi Dvtlh-mush dee-ni’, Karuk ara, Yuki and Concow Maidu dee-ni. Hello, I am Ruby Tuttle, apprentice midwife here at Moonstone Birth Center. I am indigenious from the Yurok, Karuk, Yuki and Concow Maidu people. I am a mother of 4 currently living here on Wiyot land. I am attending the National Midwifery Institute as a student. I started my journey to birthwork in 2007 supporting birthing people as a doula. After years as a doula I decided to take my birth work further and started Elizabeth Davis’s Midwifery Intensives in Sebastopol, CA. After completing both of the courses I enrolled in National Midwifery institute. I am so excited to be working with BDH. I feel like this is the next step toward making prenatal, birth and postpartum journeys safer while enveloping birthing people in their indigenous knowledge and ancestral medicine.
