When we first met Vickie and her partner, Francesca, we were immediately put at ease by their warmth and positive energy. As first time parents, we weren't exactly sure what we were looking for in a doula, but could tell right away that Vickie and Francesca were an amazing team and we loved the additional resources they offered--like prenatal yoga and an expecting mothers/partners support group. Vickie ended up being on-call when I was in labor and helped guide me through decisions by phone in the early hours, then in person as labor progressed and eventually resulted in a c-section. From physically supporting me through contractions when my epidural failed to helping me feed my daughter in the recovery room as I emerged from the medicated haze, her presence was such a great comfort! Of course, her support didn't end there. The postpartum follow up visit the morning after we came home from the hospital could not have been more perfectly timed to help us process the last few days and ask all the new parent questions we could think of! Working with Vickie was the best decision and we cannot thank her enough for being there for us during such an important life transition!
