Testimonial for Vickie Fernandez Wint
Working with Vickie made a profound difference in our preparation for birth, our experience of the birth, and our support we had after our daughter was born. Vickie so wisely created a doula group of expectant parents that meets weekly in which we discussed what we were going through physically/emotionally in pregnancy, and, after giving birth, she has a new parent group that functions in the same way that the expectant group did. This was profound to have this community of folks on the same path — and the weekly check-ins with Vickie and the group were invaluable to us leading up to and following the birth.
Vickie is always available via text/email/phone to talk through anything that comes up during pregnancy. She's such a knowledgable ally. She recommends books, podcasts, articles, practitioners. She is a connector to the resources you might need in any given moment. She makes you feel supported, bolstered by knowledge, and truly heard. She's also so kind.
Vickie was very supportive of the birth we wanted. I began working with one OB practice until it became clear that they were not the kind of practice we wanted to be with. Vickie supported us in recommending and pivoting to a different practice with a doctor who provided us the kind of care we were looking for.
I simply cannot imagine the experience of giving birth without Vickie. While the hospital, nurses, doctors, and practice at which and with whom we gave birth were fantastic, Vickie was the constant. She was our home base. She was the one who was there for us throughout the experience. Giving birth is the most profound experience of our lives, and I cannot imagine NOT having the support, care, wisdom, and clear vision that Vickie provided to us. She was there with us every step of the way. I also think it's important to mention that we are an LGBTQ couple, and Vickie was incredibly inclusive and thoughtful of our specific experience in her practice with us.
