Testimonial for Heidy Ramirez
If you're reading this, chances are you are in the market for a support person in what is the most challenging, stressful, but ultimately rewarding experience of your life - having a child! Let me save you any further research and suggest you HIRE HEIDY! Like you, I was anxious about the birth of my first child - we were expats living in New York and fell pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic. While I read earlier glowing reviews of Heidy, I still feel very lucky that she was part of our birth and, in particular, our post-partum journey. I was immediately attracted to Heidy's warm nature and knowledge of a variety of topics. Working as a team with another doula was also helpful - both team members knew our situation intimately and were in touch with my husband throughout the entire labor and birth experience. Heidy joined us for the first night at home with our son Quinn, and for 3 months thereafter. I remember rolling over to my husband that night and saying "we just left our baby with someone we've never met!" However we felt safe, comfortable and instantly at ease with her after what was a stressful birth experience. After a stay in the NICU and a stint of baby blues, Heidy was a constant support in ways that I didn't know I needed. She helped us work through breastfeeding challenges (we are now exclusively breastfeeding after both latch and supply issues) and my son's quirky sleep habits (in hindsight, just regular newborn antics). Heidy became part of our family in what was a very vulnerable time. She has a genuine gift - both working with mothers, fathers and babies - and we will forever be grateful for the love she showed Quinn, and support she gave us, over this time. She is kind, gentle, patient, flexible, emotionally intelligent and knowlegable - all qualities you want when choosing a doula and carer for your little one. She will love them as much as you do. For that reason alone, HIRE HEIDY!
