We had an incredible experience working with Heidy Ramirez as both a birth and postpartum doula as we welcomed our first son in May 2023. Heidy is everything you could want from a doula -- knowledgeable and well-researched, confident and capable, and warm and nurturing. We can't recommend her highly enough!
From the start, Heidy was a wonderful presence during my pregnancy. She offered information and support as soon as we contracted her, checking in with us frequently to make sure I was feeling well and that we were well prepared for birth. In virtual meetings and home visits she gave us all the tools we'd need for labor, from a hospital bag check list to lots of pain management ideas. She was an amazing advocate for us both prior to our delivery and during it, helping us to understand some of the health complications surrounding the arrival of our baby. She helped us feel safe during an uncertain and scary time.
After we got home from the hospital, Heidy was an even greater support to us as a postpartum doula. We are completely new to taking care of babies, and Heidy taught us everything about how to be parents -- from diapers to bathing to babywearing to sleep schedules. With her help, our son was sleeping through the night before 10 weeks old! She showered so much love and care on our son, while also making sure I was recovering well from delivery.
Heidy has seamlessly became like a family member, and we have been so grateful to her presence during the newborn phase. We feel like she's the only reason we survived the difficult postpartum weeks, and we would not hesitate to work with her again if we have another child!
