Testimonial for Melanie Russell

We are tremendously grateful to have had Melanie with us for the birth of our twins and for her support and guidance during the pregnancy and as we are getting to know our babies. Melanie has a warm, positive, and calming demeanor, which was perfect for helping us manage the intensity and varying emotions of pregnancy and childbirth. Melanie is well-informed about pregnancy and childbirth, and we appreciated that she focused on helping us become as informed and aware as possible. She asked questions to understand our goals, rather than making assumptions, and she encouraged us to consider different decision points we may encounter and to discuss them with our doctors, always with the goal of improving our understanding of the process and learning facts needed to make informed decisions. Melanie was extremely flexible and available to us, working around our sometimes inflexible schedules, and she is very perceptive and was good at adapting to our personalities and assessing how best to present information and how much we could take in at any one time. My husband and I felt completely comfortable with Melanie. The delivery of our babies was an intense and wonderful experience, and we are very happy that Melanie was part of our team.
