Testimonial for Heidy Ramirez
November 7, 2015: From the father: We love Heidy! She was amazing. We initially loved the personal connection we felt when we spoke with her on the phone and then met with her. She was extremely knowledgeable and could "talk the talk" in regard to holistic approaches, current literature, lactation issues, etc. She came over for two prenatal visits where we worked on rebozo techniques and just talked out different thoughts around labor/birthing, etc. She was responsive to text messages and phone calls and we still will have at least one postpartum meeting at our apartment once Sonia and little Chloe make it home. We informed Heidy immediately when Sonia began having initial "rushes"/contractions and she stayed in constant contact with us availing herself to come to our apartment when we felt ready and helping us process where everything was at. When we felt it was time to have her support here at home, she took a cab and arrived within an hour and stayed with us through the entire process. I think she arrived at our apartment around 3 PM on Thursday, 11/5/15, and was with us through it all until little Chloe was born at 3 AM Friday morning 11/6/15. She stayed until about 5 AM to ensure all was well with initial latching, follow-up, etc. She helped support both of us in terms of ensuring Sonia was getting the care we wanted/needed; she was there to help us deal with some of the stress/emotive elements of the process; was really a calming/strong presence...we also specifically hired her because she's bilingual, Spanish-English, and Sonia's mother is Spanish-speaking only (I'm English speaking only) and she was phenomenal in communicating to Sonia's mother during the process and helping navigate communication so Sonia could focus on the task at hand :)
Strongly recommend Heidy!
