Testimonial for Vickie Fernandez Wint
My husband and I were lucky enough to be referred to Vickie through a close friend. While I am familiar with the hospital setting as a nurse, we sought doula services because it was important to me to have a third party person act as an advocate for our family during our birth experience. Pre COVID, the doulas came to our home for a consultation and we knew their support would be an integral part of our journey. When the pandemic hit our prenatal visits shifted to virtual- I applaud Vickie for her flexibility and ability to provide unwavering support during such an unsure time.
Fortunately I gave birth during July 2020 and Vickie was able to be physically present with us during the delivery. While I was previously terrified of giving birth, because of Vickie- it was the most enjoyable, rewarding and spiritual experience of my life. One of the most incredible techniques Vickie incorporated was guided mediation. Labor is a long process, especially for first time mothers, often with lots of downtime. Instead of spending that downtime on my phone, I was able to deeply relax through meditation I would have not attempted on my own. We had an amazing team of doctors and nurses, however the time they actually spent in the room with us was brief, and once my husband and I had thought of a question to ask- they were gone. Vickie is extremely knowledgeable with the birth process, terminology, and hospital environment and was able to fully answer questions we had which prevented my husband and I from going down the dark hole of googling. My confidence in Vickie enabled me to relax, trust my body and trust the process.
I will forever be grateful to Vickie for providing me with such a positive birth experience. Her postpartum check-ins were a beautiful follow-up to the hospital support we received. I cannot recommend her services enough and will definitely seek her again for future births!
