Testimonial for Vickie Fernandez Wint
Vickie and her partner Francesca are amazing! We had the pleasure of working with them both for our first child. In looking for a doula to work with it was very important to both my husband and myself that they create a safe space for us and help guide us in an unbiased manner. It was also very important that they brought my husband along in this journey. When he first heard that I was interested in a doula, he was worried that he would be left on the sidelines. Vickie and Francesca treated him like a partner and always asked what he needed. This resulted in a wonderful prepartum, birth, and postpartum experience for us as a couple and we are even closer because of it!
What we especially loved about working with Vickie is how she made us feel heard. As first-time parents, we had so many questions along the way both pre and post-baby. During our prepartum and postpartum visits, she answered all of our questions in an expert, unbiased, evidence-based manner which is exactly what we wanted - and needed!
Our child was born during July 2020 and during our prepartum phase, New York City was at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a very scary time as a first-time parent who had been looking forward to in-person doula care at her birth and who also is a huge planner that doesn’t do so well with uncertainty. Vickie and Francesca answered all of our concerns and helped us put a plan in place that we felt comfortable with. They also created a support group with all of the expecting moms which was a safe haven in a troubling time.
All in all, Vickie has my highest recommendation and I would work with her again in a heartbeat should we ever decide to have more children. She has the warmest soul and helped us feel confident as new expecting and now as new parents. Thank you so much, Vickie! We were truly lucky to have you in our corner.
