Testimonial for Lindsey Vick
I cannot imagine our birthing experience without Lindsey Vick. We were lucky enough to have Lindsey recommended to us by a friend who use to be a doula in the area. I am a yogini and have been working for several years on leading a mindful life. I wanted a natural, intervention-free (if possible!) birth. It was important to us to have a doula who supported and worked well with us and these ideas. We interviewed Lindsey and one other doula but knew, almost immediately, that we wanted Lindsey. She was (and is!) warm, knolwedgeable, and has a great capacity to hold space for others.
In addition to being a doula, Lindsey is a Hypnobirthing teacher and we were able to join her class. From these classes we gained valuable information on the birthing process, how to prepare our minds, bodies, and spirits for the birth of our baby AND felt empowered to ask questions of our medical providers and say "no" or "not right now" when needed. I have friends who share birthing stories in which it sounds like they were bullied by their providers. That was never our case, in large part thanks to Lindsey, and I have only the best memories of my birthing experience.
One anecdote to hopefully convey the giving and healing spirit of Lindsey - The second night home from the hospital my husband collapsed and was taken to the emergency room in an ambulance. I was told to stay home with the baby by the EMTs. It was 3 in the morning and I called Lindsey. Her phone was on the fritz and she wasn't able to answer my call but she called me back immediately. Upon hearing what happened she came over and stayed with me and the baby (calming both of us) until my husband was home. I don't know what I would've done without her.
If you're looking for a doula who is compassionate and passionate about mindful, beautiful births at least interview Lindsey. Even if you decided to go with someone else your time won't be wasted getting to know this wonderful person.
