Testimonial for Melanie Russell

Melanie is such a supportive, grounding, and caring doula.  After taking her sage advice to switch to a midwife practice that would support my birth plan, my pregnancy really turned around.  I went from feeling scared about the birthing process, to feeling educated and prepared.  My labor was quite fast and Melanie made sure my midwife and the hospital were ready for me when we arrived.  Among the countless things she assisted with during my labor - she applied soothing counter pressure, decorated my birthing tub to be a serene environment, provided much-needed encouragement and even took care of me afterwards!  My only regret is nto meeting her sooner in my pregnancy.  She is truly an amazing person and a wonderful, loving presence during one of the most important events of your life.
