Testimonial for Heidy Ramirez
Working with Heidy as our doulah has been a truly rewarding experience. My husband and I were admittedly skeptical about the concept of a doulah when we first got pregnant. We felt like it was a big decision determining which hospital and OB to go with, and that would be sufficient to have our desired experience throughout pregnancy and labor. After speaking to several friends who had doulahs, they brought up many benefits which we didn't think of which caused us to revisit our initial decision. Heidy was referred to us and we are so glad she was. From Day 1 she was a source of calm and confidence, making sure to really listen to our preferences. She did not try and push anything on us (i.e. no epidural, breast feeding, etc.), but just genuinely got to know my husband and I. She asked good questions and learned what our "style" was. She provided helpful templates for the birth plan, a great presentation on the mechanics of labor, and was available 24/7 for text support leading up to labor, during, and after. Having Heidy by my side during labor made the experience so much better. Upon her arrival she knew EXACTLY what I needed to feel comfortable while pushing. After my baby came out, she was instrumental in immediately teaching me how to breast feed, while ensuring my husband ordered me sushi :). Would highly recommend partnering with Heidy during this important period of your life, you'll be glad you did.
