The Problem

Postpartum folks often don’t know where to start. It can feel strange and painful in your new body. Too many postpartum workout and wellness programs rush you, or put your body at risk—and many are not evidence-based.

How do you begin to regain strength, support the pelvic floor, and heal your core—without ever having to leave home or go to a clinic?

Who is Ready by Ruth Health for?

We simplify the process with 6 weeks of initial content and more to come. Watch each snackable video at home, in bed, at work, or on the go.

We are for any working mom looking to get back to work, life, and sex (YES, SEX! 🧡) sooner. We’ve launched GLOBALLY and still offer virtual 1:1 care separately.

We help:

• Postpartum moms
• Total body recovery, with focus on pelvic floor + core
• Ages 20-55
• For anyone starting from 1 day + lasting through several years postpartum, depending on how you feel during movement (stop immediately if painful)
• 🏥 Folks who suffered with difficult or traumatic births
• 🩺 Proactive moms looking to get back to normal life faster
• 🏃🏿‍♀️Fitness lovers + those excited to feel stronger after baby
• 🏢 Anyone who hates dealing with insurance; just pay $10.99 with credit or HSA/FSA

How does Ready by Ruth Health work?

Haylie Rudy— mom of 2 in Austin, TX / 9mos postpartum said of Ruth Health Pelvic Floor Training: "I wasn't alone, I had expert help with my pain + incontinence. It took away the fear, so I could reclaim my power.”

Why are we building Ruth Health?

Maternal healthcare in America—and many places worldwide—is a mess. NYC has the highest maternal mortality rate of any major city in the developed world. Moms, parents, and even their non-birthing partners need us. Nobody should have to suffer alone, in silence, or without affordable, attainable help. Incontinence after birth may be normal, but it’s not “okay.” We’ve had ENOUGH.

We’re the women building women’s healthcare for us, by us.

Women deserve better ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼 we make care better for every body.

Big YC love,
