Ruth Lundsten

Doula

I am married and have two wonderful children. I welcomed the arrival of my first grandchild, a little boy, in August of 2009. My son and daughter-in-law chose to have a water birth at home with a midwife. I welcomed my granddaughter in August of 2013. She was also born at home with the same midwife who delivered her big brother. I am very passionate about birth and the birthing process. I feel that every woman and her partner deserve the best possible outcome from their birth whether it be a hospital birth, a home birth or a birth center birth.

My role as a doula is to assist you and your partner in achieving the birth you want and to support your goals and wishes. As your doula, I will guide, comfort and nurture you through this amazing journey. I have had a lot of success with VBAC births and have attended twin births. I love all things birth and look forward to sharing in the miracle of your birth with you. Read more

    I am so glad I listened to my sister in law and got a doula. I felt a little silly hiring one bc I had so much support in my room (both mothers and 2 sister in laws). But Ruth Lundsten was my rock and never left my side. She helped me achieve the natural birth that I had planned for. ...

    I am so glad that we hired Ruth as our doula for the birth of our first baby- honestly the best money we could have spent. I now tell all my pregnant friends to consider getting a doula, I honestly think my birth experience would have been so different if we had not had her support. ...

    Hiring Ruth was the best decision my husband and I made in preparation for the birth of our first daughter. We knew we wanted to have a natural birth (or at least attempt one), and we wanted to have someone at the birth to help achieve that goal. During our initial interview, Ruth stressed the importance of having someone we felt comfortable with as our doula, and recommended that we interview at least two or three other doulas (which we did). ...
