Testimonial for Melanie Russell

Melanie is fantastic. She is very approachable and easy to talk to.  Throughout my pregnancy, she was easy to get in touch with. I intended for her to be at my side while I labored, but my son had other plans.  My water broke while I was in New Hampshire. Melanie was in touch with my husband by phone and by text throughout my labor.  She helped my husband communicate with the medical staff in an unknown hospital and advocate for our birthing preferences. She gave my husband tips to help him guide me through my labor. Even though she wasn't physically there, she was integral part in the successful natural birth of my son.  After our family returned home, she came for a visit. She helped me wade through my questions about breastfeeding and postpartum life.  I highly recommend hiring her for your doula!
