Testimonial for Heidy Ramirez
I had the pleasure of having Heidy Ramirez as my nighttime postpartum doula for three weeks and feel that it was one of the best decisions I've made! Heidy was personally recommended by an aquaintance who spoke extremely highly of her. I was quite nervous about entrusting the care of my newborn baby to someone I didn't truly know but I understood she was highly qualified and felt, as a first time Mom, postpartum support would be extremely important. Specifically, I wanted to ensure that our breastfeeding journey got off to a good start and knew Heidy was very qualified in this area since she's a lactation counselor. Also, I wanted to learn from an expert how to best care for my baby, use all the products I bought and how to properly "babywear". This all became very invaluable as I came back from the hospital, extremely exhausted and Heidy was literally my savior! Initially, we had some issues with breastfeeding but with Heidy's kowledge and support we were able to do so and continue to successfully. She was able to pick up on tiny nuances, which were preventing my baby from latching properly- it was incredible! I am beyond grateful, because there were times I really wanted to give up but she really encouraged me through it. Heidy is highly empathetic and caring and it was such a relief knowing that at the end of a rough day, she was there to listen and help me figure out how to best deal with whatever came up. The emotional support was just as important as the physical. I was able to actually rest and fully recover because I knew both baby and I were in such good hands. Beyond her knowledge, passion and competence, Heidy is a warm, genuine and kind person and is such a pleasure to be around. My baby absolutely loved her as well and I only wish we could have had her for longer. Heidy has also stayed in touch, checking up on us and offering advice. I am so grateful to have had her and if we decide on another child we will definitely hire her immediately!
