What People Are Saying

“Ruth is truly a remarkable human being and an invaluable doula. You need to hire her - you will not find anyone comparable.”

I am not sure where to begin. Ruth is truly a remarkable human being and an invaluable doula. You need to hire her - you will not find anyone comparable. She is so knowledgable, present, caring, intelligent, and supportive. She will advocate and help you at every step of your process. She communicates clearly, provides endless resources, and is available when you need her. There are no silly questions with Ruth - she will help you be informed about your options and realistic about best routes. She will talk to your doctors or midwives if you do not have the energy or capacity to do so to ensure your desires are communicated. During labour, Ruth was remarkable. She helped me achieve my most ideal birth at home with midwives and was amazing at helping me work through waves of pain.

I know she would have been just as supportive and helpful in a hospital setting with an epidural, or with a belly birth. She is just the kind of person who is always there for you. I cannot recommend her enough. We hired her early on in our process and would do the same again because it was so helpful having her when things were hard in our second trimester. We really got to grow together and learn together. Thank you for everything Ruth! We hope we can have you on our team again in future pregnancies!!
