About Ruth & Courtney |

Ruth E. Macy is a pelvic floor physical therapist with seventeen years of experience in the field. She is passionate about working with people to achieve their desired health outcomes, removing bias and exclusion in healthcare, and delivering a compassionate patient-centered approach that eliminates shame and blame in the ownership of the human body. When she’s not at work, she enjoys paddleboarding, spoiling her dog, and winning at board games with her family.

Courtney Naliboff is a teacher, writer, musician, volunteer EMT, parent, and swimming enthusiast who lives on North Haven, a tiny unbridged island off of Maine’s Midcoast, with her husband and daughter. She is a longtime reporter and columnist for the Working Waterfront and has written about Jewish parenting in small-town Maine for kveller.com, heyalma.com, and the Bangor Daily News.
