Ru Health
A modern science meets ancient wisdom approach to women’s health.
Womens Health
At Ru' Health, we guide women through a wide range of health challenges, including: Irregular or painful cycles, PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, fertility and conception support, post-birth recovery and emotional overwhelm, perimenopause and menopause, fatigue, mood changes, poor sleep, brain fog, digestive or metabolic issues.
Our integrative model goes deeper than symptom management. We combine the science of Functional Medicine with the wisdom of Ayurveda, Cycle Awareness, and Somatic Practice to uncover root causes and restore balance.
The result is personalised, practical and evidence based solutions for women at every stage of life.
Our Approach
Functional Medicine
Root-cause science that explores how nutrition, gut health, hormones, and lifestyle influence your wellbeing. Functional testing and clinical analysis are used where needed to inform your plan.
Ayurveda
The world’s oldest system of personalised medicine; recognising that each woman is unique. Ayurveda helps you understand your body’s constitution (dosha), patterns of imbalance, and the rhythms that govern digestion, mood, and hormones.
Somatic Practices
Grounding techniques, breathwork, and movement that help regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, emotions, or trauma, and restore connection between body and mind.
Cycle Syncing
Your menstrual cycle is a powerful biological rhythm that influences energy, focus, and emotions. By aligning nutrition, movement, and self-care with each phase, we reduce PMS, balance hormones, and cultivate a deeper relationship with your body.

Our Story
Ru Health was born from both professional global health expertise and a deeply personal journey through illness, burnout, and healing. Founder Melanie Villarreal spent over a decade leading emergency health responses worldwide, but in her mid-thirties she began experiencing persistent fatigue, digestive issues, anxiety, sleep disruption and chronic stress that left her increasingly disconnected from her body. Despite extensive testing and consultations, the deeper picture was missed. She came to realise many women share this experience, navigating complex symptoms within systems not designed with women in mind, especially women over 40 experiencing hormonal shifts and nervous system dysregulation. Even today, major gaps remain in research on female health, and symptoms are too often dismissed as “normal” or stress related. Her search for answers led her beyond conventional care into a more integrative approach. Ayurveda offered a view of health as mind body spirit balance. Functional Medicine helped uncover root causes through hormones, gut health, nutrition and lifestyle. Somatic work, including insights reflected in The Body Keeps the Score, highlighted how the body stores stress and emotion, and how this directly influences hormonal health, energy, and regulation of the nervous system. Over time, these approaches came together to form Ru Health, a modern integrative system for women’s wellbeing combining Ayurveda, Functional Medicine, Somatic Therapy, nervous system support and Cycle Syncing to produce practical and supportive health programs. Women deserve to feel heard, supported and connected to their bodies, not dismissed or left to figure it out alone.
