“When my husband and I found out I was pregnant, we were filled with so much joy, but also felt a little overwhelmed with all of the information we had to know/learn when becoming parents. As a new mom, I worried not only about the baby, but the birthing process. So, when trying to navigate and learn everything, I came across Ruth- and thank god I did. Ruth came into our home to teach us more than we thought we needed to know. She came in, was so kind, and made us feel very comfortable. She answered every question we had in great detail and helped us understand the birthing process a little more. Ruth had patience, was understanding, and never judged us about anything we wanted to ask or know. I truly felt like I learned so much when she left- my mind was definitely more at ease. You can tell she has passion and takes pride in what she does and that meant so much to us. We truly appreciate Ruth and look forward to working with her in the future!!! ” — The Yamamoto’s
“We booked a private in home session with Ruth for a group of our friends having babies soon. We can’t give Ruth enough praise. She was extremely professional and informative but also intimate and personal with the needs of our entire group. She was extremely knowledgeable and made a group of first time parents feel at ease by answering our long list of questions and giving us hands on demonstrations throughout the class. If you’re thinking about doing a class with Ruth, do it! You won’t regret it. Thank you, Ruth! ” — Nick & Taylor Patti
“Ruth was absolutely amazing! My husband and I are expecting in a few months and I never would’ve thought I would be so prepared or knowledgeable about what to expect. Not only did she educate us on the basics, she went into detail on our specific questions, didn’t judge, and was direct and the point. I feel so much more empowered and confident as a new mom to be and would recommend her to anyone! I know you can never be 100% prepared to have your first baby but truly I did not even know there was someone or a class that could prepare me so well! We talked all things breast-feeding, the actual labor and what to expect, things that happen to your body, and just pure education on being pregnant and SO much more. I never considered working with a Doula before but now meeting Ruth and learning from her has totally open my eyes to the possibilities. She is so experienced and makes you feel so comfortable when talking to her. Cannot thank her enough!” — The Paxson’s
