Testimonial for Heidy Ramirez
Our experience with Heidy was great! From the beginning she wanted to make sure that we took our time and were intentional about choosing our doula. She was very informative and we shared a number of values and ideals around our pregnancy/birth plans. Her experience stood out to us, especially the number of births she had supported and her experience in working in most hospital settings across New York City. She was always very accessible and this was the case throughout our pregnancy. She helped us develop our birth plan and identify important questions to ask our doctors and nurses. As first time parents, she helped us feel informed and supported. When the birthing process started, labor had to be induced (which can take a long time) but Heidy was ready to come to the hospital whenever. She immediately brought a calming presence into the delivery room. While at the hospital, we felt like we had an advocate in Heidy who helped explain different interventions, potential next steps, and she worked seamlessly with hosptital staff (which was a huge bonus in our eyes) and all while having us and our comfort as her main focus. Given that the labor process was long, having Heidy at the hospital with us allowed my partner to rest and run last minute errands (like getting food or drinks, talk to family, etc.) as she was able to be by my side. Even after we went home, she checked in on us for several days after and was supportive during those first few stressful nights (even responding to late night texts). When she came to our post-partum visit, it felt like Heidy had been there with us from the very beginning and was seeing it through with us together. She was our helpful and knowledgable navigator and we are very happy we went with her.
