Testimonial for Melanie Russell
Thanks to Melanie Headley as my doula, I was able to deliver my baby girl vaginally after 24 hours of labor. If it were not for Melanie, her educating me on the value of switching to a midwife practice, her childbirth classes, and her being by my husband's and my side during labor, then I surely would have ended up having a c-section after not progressing enough the first 16 hours.
Melanie empowered my husband and me with information that helped us make more confident and educated decisions. She emotionally and physically was there for us throughout our pregnancy and during labor to help us understand what was normal, plus teach and remind us of our tools in our metaphorical toolbox. I cannot imagine going through pregnancy withour her class or through labor without her. I'm sure my husband would feel the same way as she was always there providing him with support and ideas on how to help me the most.
If we are blessed to bring another child into this world, then Melanie will definitely be by our side again. Thank you, Melanie! You will forever be a part of our family.
