Having Ruth as our doula was undoubtedly one of the best decisions my husband and I made during my pregnancy... If Ruth can keep this nervous first-time anxiety ridden Mama happy during a pandemic – AND keep me smiling, laughing and CALM in the L&D room for over 24 hours – she is capable of anything!! Hire Ruth and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Ruthy was our doula for both of my wife's pregnancies with our first and second children... We are so very grateful for Ruthy's doula services and recommend her to anyone looking for the "total package" doula!

Ruth Green was my doula for the birth of my son last year. She was a wonderful support to our family before, during and after his birth... I would definitely ask Ruthy to be my doula again if I were to have another child and I give her the highest recommendation to others seeking an empathetic, caring, and experienced doula for their birth.

Ruthy Green has been one of the most attentive and conscientious doulas we have worked with... I fully trust her, trust her judgment and have no hesitation leaving my kids with her.

My husband and I had our hearts set on having a home birth vbac before we even became pregnant... Ruthy came with us to the hospital. She talked me through my options regarding pain management... We were so blessed to have her present throughout labor and during our birth!

I would highly recommend Ruth Green as to a doula to anyone! Although I may be slightly biased (she is my mother-in-law, after all)... Trust me, in the middle of a contraction, having someone in tune with your needs is much preferred to actually voicing those needs.

From the moment my husband & I met Ruthy, we unanimously agreed that we wanted her to be the doula for the birth of our first child... I am extremely grateful for Ruthy's care for us during the birth of our daughter.

Ruthy recently attended my fourth birth. I had never used a doula in the past and wanted to have the experience of using a doula... I would highly recommend Ruthy to anyone seeking a great natural birth experience.

Ruthy attended the birth of my tenth child (and my first home birth!)... I felt well ‘mothered’ by Ruthy during this time.

My husband and I both have been blown away by Ruthy's level of care before, during and after our son's birth... Ruthy is such a warm and loving force to have around during a time that is filled with many ups and downs and a never-ending string of questions.

The night I went into labor, my husband called Ruth at approximately 11 p.m. and she answered the phone sweetly... If I were still in the area, I would love to have her attend future births.

I decided after 4 hospital births, that I would home birth from then on... I would recommend her to anyone that wants a gentle loving birth.
