Here is what a client named Jessica has to say about working with Ruth:

Having Ruth as our doula was undoubtedly one of the best decisions my husband and I made during my pregnancy. One of my best friends suggested that I find a doula when she found out I was expecting our first child. I started the search but it ended as soon as I met Ruthy. We hit it off immediately. She was funny, caring, detail orientated, experienced and also put my mind at ease. She also made me laugh and within minutes I felt as though I had known her for years! My husband, who was initially unsure about hiring a doula, warmed up to the idea once he realized that she would be there to support BOTH of us – not just me, and she was also NOT replacing him. During my pregnancy she would often check in on me and offer advice. I loved knowing she was only one phone call or text away- especially in the weeks leading up to my due date. The meetings we had and the birth class she offered were educational, informative, and fun. I actually felt prepared and calm on the day we checked into the hospital!  When the time came she was by our side in the hospital for nearly 24 hours, staying awake with us all night and staying by our sides.  Every 12 hours when the nursing shifts would change I would start to feel anxious, but knowing Ruthy was still there immediately calmed me down. She provided us with comfort and support. She was also my cheerleader, my advocate and my support system! Every time the doctor or nurse would recommend something, I would look at her for reassurance. In hindsight – I simply can’t imagine those 24 hours without her. In closing, if you are reading this review and looking for a doula on doulamatch.net – look no further then Ruth Green. 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.

Here is what a client named Danae and Will has to say about working with Francie:

Francie was instrumental in helping us have an empowered birth experience.  This was the culmination of many facets, below are some highlights:

1.  She has the ability to seamlessly fit herself right into your family fabric. By the end of our first meeting we felt completely at ease around her and trusted that she was the right person to help guide us along our journey.

2.  She helped build my confidence by asking  pointed questions about the kind of birth I hoped for and provided helpful resources to mentally, physically and emotionally prepare for multiple scenarios—as the actual labor process is always unpredictable!

3.  We found Francie to be very adept overall.  She was always available to help answer all of our questions in a timely manner while I was pregnant.  I ended up having to be induced and even so, my labor was not progressing for hours.  Once Francie arrived we felt reinvigorated.  We both relaxed, put on a dance party playlist and everything progressed smoothly from there.  Francie suggested a new position to labor in that worked like a charm, she kept our mood up with her wit and positive energy, she expertly helped us navigate the hospital staff and doctors, coached my partner and the two of them worked as a team to support me, which was exactly what I wanted.  Throughout the entire labor process Francie anticipated each phase I was in before I could register it and made sure everything was in place.  Before we knew it, we were welcoming our baby boy!

4.  As a first time mom, I found Francie to also be very helpful in the postpartum period especially with breastfeeding positioning and advise.  Even months after our son was born she would still check-in occasionally to see how we were doing.

In short, Francie is a delight and an absolute treasure. If you couldn’t tell already, we highly recommend her!
