Testimonials

Don't take my word for it...

"Ruth was absolutely phenomenal and brought such a kind energy to the labor. Thank you so much again for helping us bring our beautiful daughter into the world exactly how I dreamt we would."

Maria - Palouse, WA

"There are no words to describe how absolutely amazing it was to have Ruth as part of the birth of our amazing son. My husband and I set up an interview and both fell in love with her kindness and compassion, ability to describe things in a loving way and an overall feeling of comfort around her. She met with us a few times before I went into labor and just helped us feel prepared for labor.

When I went into labor, Ruth held my husband and I together. She helped him and I really mesh as one and the process went as smooth as it possibly could have, given the situation. She respected my wishes and was so helpful when it came to explaining what the doctors and nurses wanted to do and why, and let me make informed decisions. She fed me and encouraged me and I truthfully give her the credit for the process being great.

We have the sweetest post birth photos because of her. As soon as I could hold my baby, she taught me how to breastfeed and was so supportive.

Ruth checked on us the day after and answered so many questions we had, checked up on us by text and came to my house to check up on how I was feeling and how feeding was going 10 days after our son was born. She helped me connect with a post-partum doula when I felt incredibly overwhelmed.

I can honestly say that Ruth made my entire birth and post-partum experience a joyful one, and my husband and I were able to relax and know we had someone on our side the entire time."

Paige - Pullman, WA

"Ruth was cheerful, confident, and super knowledgeable. She was supportive but not overbearing, and really thoughtful (even down to the body armor she brought to the birth)."

Jane - Moscow, ID

"Ruth was an integral part of my labor and delivery team. She worked hand in hand with my husband. Between the two of them, they were able to help me stay in control and keep me relaxed between contractions, which led to me having a natural childbirth experience. Ruth did exactly what we needed when we needed it. Just as one coping technique would fade she would be suggesting something new to try and coaching my husband as he coached me. My husband and I are so happy with our experience with Ruth that we won't hesitate to hire her again when the time comes to add to our family."

Elizabeth - Genesee, ID

"Ruth is very kind, informative, knowledgeable, prepared and resourceful. I felt very comfortable with her and knew I could ask anything and she would always find me an answer. She was a great voice at the hospital as well, even though my birth went a lot faster than expected."

Sibel - Moscow, ID

"Ruth was an INCREDIBLE help in labor and I could not have gone through 31 hours of active labor without her! We HIGHLY recommend her. Everything she did for my family was extremely intentional and made a positive impact on the end of my pregnancy and labor. She equipped us with tools that gave us the confidence we needed to have a home birth. It also gave me peace knowing she is a believer and was praying over the entire experience. We love Ruth and will definitely be calling her for all of our home births!"

McKenna - Pullman, WA

"Even though I didn't get to fully utilize the services of a doula because I called too late and had the baby before she arrived, I would absolutely recommend every woman to have one, especially when having a hospital birth. I spent most of my pregnancy researching how to have a natural, unmedicated birth, and Ruth was still able to educate me with new information. Some of the things she brought up ended up being in the back of my mind throughout labor to help me focus on the task at hand. She was very encouraging of my birth preferences and understanding of the fears and doubts that had stemmed from my previous five births. She never judged me for having epidurals in my previous births or expected me to know everything just because I'd had children before. I'm very thankful for the help and insight she provided to me during my pregnancy to prepare me for labor. I ended up having my first fully unmediated, natural birth where I labored at home with my husband for three hours before going to the hospital and having the baby within 20 minutes of arriving. I felt absolutely amazing about my birth and experienced the biggest high after he was born. I would hands down have another unmediated birth and wish all my previous births had been like this one. Having a doula very much helped bring my birth preferences to fruition, and I'm very grateful to have had Ruth as my doula."

Megan - Pullman, WA

Ruth is worth the hire for education, support, and resources!

Heather - Colfax, WA

Ruth helped us to remind calm for many hours before going to the birth center. Also she gave us some useful tips before and after the birth that were really helpful. She was with us all the time even at the hospital which was really important for us. I highly recommended Ruth to anyone because she knows what she is doing plus she brings a lot of good energy and calm which in my case are really important during labor.

Francy - Palouse, WA

"Ruth not only supported me through my birth experience but she also provided an encouraging and knowledgeable scaffold that allowed my partner and mother to support me in the most beautiful and helpful way. As part of my birthing team, Ruth was invaluable. She helped facilitate the calm and empowering birth experience I wanted despite a very challenging labor."

Cassandra - Moscow, ID

"Ruth helped me emotionally process my previous births to help isolate fear from genuine concern with this birth. I was coming from a very traumatized place that needed attention and healing."
