Testimonial for Ruth Green
My husband and I both have been blown away by Ruthy's level of care before, during and after our son's birth. The primary reason we sought out Ruthy to be our doula is she was the only one we found who openly called herself a Christian doula. This was a very important piece of the process for us considering what a miracle pregnancy and new life is. We appeciated the time she spent with us in the weeks leading up to delivery, getting to know us personally and familiarizing herself with our birth plan and wishes. I struggled with low platelets throughout my pregnancy (which equates to clotting problems during delivery) and she took the initiative to research and suggest natural supplements that have proven successful in building up weak blood structure. Even though it was my first child, my labor and delivery ended up being a VERY quick one (less than 3 hours from water breaking to holding him). Ruthy still made it to the hospital in time to assist with the birth and was such a calming presence to have nearby. She has taken more than ample time with us post partum, since my turbo delivery didn't allow her to showcase her usual methods to support and calm a laboring mother. She has been especially encouraging as I struggled with multiple breastfeeding issues in the days and weeks following birth. She's offered advice, brought me books and listened as I agonized over the pros and cons of whether or not to continue. Ruthy is such a warm and loving force to have around during a time that is filled with many ups and downs and a neverending string of questions. 1-10...Ruthy is an 11.
