Finding a hyperbolic metric with geodesic boundary on a given Riemann surface

Let $X$ be a Riemann surface with analytic boundary. Assume that $X$ has negative Euler characteristic. Then there exists a conformal hyperbolic metric $X$ such that $\partial X$ consists of geodesics (conformal in the sense of being compatible with the given complex structure on $X$).

Does anyone has a reference (or even better, a quick proof) of this result?
