Testimonial for Melanie Russell
My husband Caleb and I attended A Brighter Birth Wham Bam class early in the summer and after being in class with Melanie I knew I had to see if she was avaialble in November to take me on as a client. I must say, hiring Melanie to walk alongside us in the process of the last trimester and labor/delivery of our baby girl was the best gift we gave ourselves. She was so calm and confident in my ability to carry, labor and deliver intervention free. I was so thankful to have her listening ear as I walked through the last weeks of my pregnancy sharing my concerns and general updates. I would not have wanted to labor without her! (She even took my placenta home to her freezer, if that's not love and care I'm not sure what is)! She gave my husband support and helped me to stay focused and calm by offering encouragement and a warm presence. We were also so glad for her post-partum visit to check in and help with breastfeeding. Again, she was sure of my body and gave me confidence in my first days as a new momma and for that I am so gratetful. Give yourself the gift of Melanie as your Doula-- you won't regret it!
