Testimonial for Melanie Russell

We met Melanie through her class and at the time, my wife and I were undecided on a Doula. We had talked about not even having a Doula because we just weren't sure about having another person in our delivery room. Once we met Melanie, we instantly connected with her and felt super comfortable. She is not only passionate and very knowledgeable about the birth process, she's also super comforting, friendly and most importantly, loving. Immediately we wanted her to be our Doula but wanted her to be our friend too! A friend is exactly who she turned out to be. After taking her class and our appointments together, my wife and I felt so confident and empowered about our birth. I don't need to get into the details of our birth but like so many, ours did not go as planned. Being able to talk to Melanie about our birth experience has helped us so much. You honestly can not put a price or a title on what Melanie is able to provide. Yes you can hire her as your Doula, but if you're lucky like us, you'll make an amazing friend as well. Can't recommend her enough.
