Testimonial for Heidy Ramirez

Heidy is wonderful! I highly recommend her as a doula. She has a very natural gift of helping women through labor. She is kind, empathetic, intelligent & responsible. Heidy was a huge support during both of my pregnancies!

For my first birth, she was there for me and even accompanied me to a very important scan. I can't begin to tell you how important her support was at that particular moment& there since; At at month 5 they told me my baby girl was coming with a cleft lip. My husband Luis & Heidy gave me all the support I needed. She was also available by phone whenever I had a question or needed an advice. She gave us educational materials specific to our needs. She was so supportive & insightful & helped me to regain a sence of empowerment. During my labor she was very fantastic. I had a very intense labor and Heidy spent all of it with me & my husband at our home, walking around our neighborhood & at the hospital. She continually helped me to remain calm & just focus on my own inner power and intuition.Heidy helped me with positioning, she encouraged me & rubbed my back & kept me hydrated. She was five months pregnant herself during my first birth.

During my second pregnancy Heidy was also there. During my pregnancy, birth and after the baby was born. She helped me with latching & breastfeeding in general. Things went faster this time around. I almost gave birth to my baby boy on the triage bed, she told me to call for help and ask to be moved to a labor room ASAP! I could feel the baby crowning as they sat me in a wheelchair. My husband & I were freaking out & the nurse was running for a doctor, yet Heidy managed to remain calm & soothing. She stayed by my side providing physical & emotional support and managed to take such amazing pictures of the birth & my newborn baby! if we have another baby I am definitely asking Heidy to be my doula again!
