As second-time parents recovering from a traumatic first birth, we were so fortunate to have Heidy as our overnight doula through my Carrot benefit. She’s not only deeply experienced, but respectful, relatable, and kind.
From the start, we shared our regrets and challenges from our first postpartum experience, and Heidy listened closely while confidently offering her own advice. She understood I wanted to breastfeed but also protect my sleep, so she worked with my husband and me to build a schedule that evolved as we all figured out what worked — I’m getting far more sleep than I expected. She also set up a pump-and-bottle system overnight so my husband could take a feed too, which mattered a lot to us.
Heidy really understands the specific challenges of parenting in NYC, and as a mother of four herself and a doula across the boroughs, she brought so much real, lived experience to her advice. I loved that she checked in on us emotionally and shared what was going on in her own life too — it made our connection with her feel genuine, not transactional.
We are so grateful for Heidy’s support, from the moment we first reached out during my pregnancy through these first weeks postpartum. We will be recommending her to others.
