Testimonial for Vickie Fernandez Wint
Working with Vickie was the best choice we made during our pregancy/birth journey, and we genuinely cannot imagine having gone through this process without her. Vickie innovatively and seamlessly pivoted her business model from in-person support to virtual support during the Covid19 Pandemic, and despite this challenge, maintained the ability to be immedialtly responsive and emotionally present with us. This was no easy task, given the dozens of questions we threw at her as first time parents, a same-sex couple, and stunned NYC residents in the pandemic hot spot. As the pandemic curve flattened out, Vickie graciously offered in-person support during our birth. Again, Vickie rose to the challenge as we called her at 4am, unexpectedly in the throws of active labor. We didn't have any "early labor" at home, so Vickie helped me (over the phone) convince my wife to get into the car (still cannot thank you enough!!), and supported us both during the drive to the hospital. Due to fibroids, my wife's labor was not what we expected; no relief between contractions, and again, no traditional experience of the early labor stage. Vickie calmly met us at the hospital, and guided us through this completely unexpected birth process like a total pro. 10 hours later, our daughter was born after a complication free labor. My wife is eternally grateful for Vickie's in-person support at the hospital, and for the helpful virtual postpartem support. Throughout the virtual support process, Vickie worked cohesively and seamlessly with her co-doula, Francesca Marini. We absolutely loved working with Vickie, and highly recommend her for anyone seeking compassionate, competent support. Thank you Vickie!
