Testimonial for Vickie Fernandez Wint
I had a wonderful experience with Vickie. My partner and I hired Vickie (and her doula partner Francesca) in March 2020. We immediately felt a connection to Vickie upon meeting her and it was a very easy decision to work with her. Due to COVID, in-person meetings soon became impossible, and Vickie seamlessly transitioned all services online. I felt so supported throught the next months despite the physical distance. Vickie introduced me to visualization exercises that I found immensely helpful in reducing stress. She was always available to answer any questions I had during the pregnancy - big and small. The pandemic created a lot of anxiety for me about delivering in the hospital, but discussing this with Vickie helped me come up with coping strategies and feel a sense of control. Because of COVID, I was unsure if I would be able to have a doula present in the hospital for delivery. Though this made me sad, Vickie had prepared my partner and I so well, that we knew we would be alright either way (and she would be available for virtual support). As my due date approched, we learned that the hospital would allow a doula. (Vickie’s partner Francesca was on call that day and we had a very positive birthing experience!) Vickie has been extremely helpful to us postpartum as well. Unfortunately I had a health complication a few days after giving birth and I had to go back to the hospital for about 24 hours. Vickie and Francesca were extremely supportive to my partner and I during this stressful time and I was so grateful to have them just a text or call away. Vickie has also run a supportive postpartum group that I’ve been a part of for a few months now and which I look forward to each week. Vickie is friendly, non-judgemental and knowledgeable and her love for doula work is abundantly clear. I highly recommend her! Thank you Vickie!
