Testimonial for Melanie Russell

Melanie was born to be a doula. She's incredibly intelligent, patient, strong, and a fantastic listener. With just a few short questions, she was able to grasp the type of birth experience we wanted, never impeding with judgement or alternate beliefs. She knew when to be strong; she knew when to be gentle; she knew when to step back, and; she knew when to step forward - all without instruction, allowing me to labor. I cannot promise future clients that she can guaranteeingly provide you with the exact labor experience you want (no one can!), but I can promise, without hesitation, that you will be SO grateful Melanie Headley was in the room while you were laboring your child into the world.

Thank you SO much, Melanie! You mean more to me and my family than you could know!
