Ruba was born from personal necessity and a powerful conviction. Its founder, Iasmine (pronounced ee-yaz-mini), is an entrepreneur with degrees in both the History of Science and Medicine, and Law. This unique lens allows her to view the challenges of menopause, not merely as a biological phase, but as an underserved area where historical knowledge, scientific innovation, and regulatory frameworks intersect.
Inspiration also comes from women who refuse invisibility: healers providing care under siege, elders commanding stages into their nineties, Indigenous leaders defending land and plant wisdom as legitimate science, and brave women exposing how systems shape bodily experience. These role models underscore Ruba’s core beliefs: that healing is a collective endeavor; that wellness is universal justice.
The name Ruba in Arabic means a hill-like elevation symbolizing strength and stability, matching the brand’s purpose: to help women rise and stand tall through change with knowledge and grace.
