Testimonial for Vickie Fernandez Wint
Where do I begin! Vickie was the best choice for our family, after interviewing nearly 20 doulas in NYC I knew within the first few minutes that I had finally found a good fit. Vickie and Francesca are truly more than doulas, they are building a community to support birthing people and their families. The additional benefits (weekly community meetings for prenatal and postpartum, prenatal yoga, and birthing prep classes) were all so invaluable to me and my familly. Additionally, we purchased the postpartum package which was also very useful and gave us peace of mind.
Vickie was my birthing doula and my word, what would I have done without her?! I was ultimately not very happy with my midwife experience and during delivery it felt like Vickie was holding the most positive space for me and my partner. She was the most generous (ready and willing to do anything! Blowing up a peanut ball, massaging my legs, grabbing dinner for everyone) she was just phenomenal. My birth was not as straightforward as anyone would have liked, but during a long induction and a failed epidural Vickie was by my side completely. I have flashbacks of her kindness and care and to this day, I am just so grateful she was part of the team that helped deliver our baby safely. I'd also add no matter what your birth plan is, Vickie will be a non-judgemental and supportive part of it (I had assumed if I was planning on an epidural I wouldn't need a doula- so so mistaken!!).
Anyone would be lucky to have Vickie at their birth, I'm already looking forward to conceiving again and will definitely be a repeat customer.
