Testimonial for Teresa Vittorioso-Fortin C-FSD (BADT), BCCE, CLE
First let me say that my wife and I are so glad we had Teresa with us before, during, and after the arrival of our son. Teresa is very good at what she does and her presence at the birth of our son was key to the positive experience both my wife and I had.
We also took a semi-private hypnobirthing class with Teresa before our son was born and it was a great experience. Teresa knows a lot about birth, delivery, and hypnobirthing techniques and she teaches and guides with ease, humor, compassion, listening, and openness. We highly recommend the course!
My wife and I both felt immediately comfortable with Teresa when we first met to see if we would be a good match. She listened attentively and asked good questions of us, getting us thinking about what we hoped our birth experience would be.
Although we had a positive experience overall, my labor and delivery process was a very long one, and had its difficult moments for sure. Teresa was there, either in person or by phone, the entire time (over two days) and made herself available even when we didn't need her right away. We both felt cared for and attended to by her. She helped to create a calm and natural environment, even in a highly medicalized hospital setting, and even the hospital staff noted how peaceful the room felt. Her calm presence helped us so much. She also asked good questions of the hospital staff and was not afraid to speak up, although she also took a back seat when necessary. She did a great job not only caring for me but also caring for my wife, making sure she was staying hydrated and nourished. Really, having her there with us was exactly what we hoped it would be and we comfortable and happily recommend Teresa to any woman and/or couple who are looking for support during their labor.
