Working with Lindsey Vick was a wonderful experience - I took the hypnobirthing class virtually and really appreciated the safe space Lindsey was able to hold for the 4 couples in the class - We did learn and practice in class ; the information and support received in and in between classes certainly enabled me to realize my vision of a peaceful unmedicated birth! I also hired Lindsey to be my Doula and truly grateful she guided me towards selecting a provider who would align with my birth wishes. On the day of however Lindsey was already at another birth*, I was able to remain calm, I used the tools given for laboring at home including the TENS unit which was a life saver! after laboring at home long enough we went to the hospital were we met Lindseys back-up Doula which was as genuinely caring as Lindsey and made me feel like HER client and led me to a successful water birth in a hospital setting! all my wishes became reality and I cannot thank enough the both of them for that!Merci Beaucoup!!! - not ready for number 2 quite yet but when the times come I will certainly rehire Lindsey!Caroline*I believe that only happened to Lindsey once before in her career! yet she is always ready for a just in case which I benefited from!After working with Lindsey, I had Janna Woodson (her sister) as my Post Partum doula (a la carte option –which was perfect : about 3 to 5 hours 4 times a week when I needed). I cannot thank her enough for assisting me during this very special time of bringing a newborn home and recovering from the birth as a first time mother!My husband went back to work almost immediately and with no family member around, I was left home alone to care for my first baby and 2 small dogs. Janna was able to teach me tips (and I needed care for a baby 101 as I had never been even close to caring for a newborn or baby before!) With her guidance, I was able to practice under her expert yet non-judgmental eye, I quickly gained confidence, I was able to ask all the questions and share anything and everything that was going on as my body healed.Having Janna around also gave me time to do things for ME like take a long shower, sitz bath, rest, nap, write/send birth announcements! And while she gave me some free time, almost like a fairy, Janna magically did laundry, put the dishes away, watered the plants, walked the dogs… She really did all that she could in order to make my life easier! It was such a gift to have her around as she enabled me to confidently enjoy being with my baby without feeling overwhelmed by chores to be done as I was a bit slower than before till I recovered.Janna genuinely cared about my baby girl as well as my wellbeing and I will miss her ; but little Princess Maia and I will never forget what she did for us!If you are a mom to be, trust me, you want Janna in your life!

I am so glad I found Sunflowers to help me through my first birth. In fact, I hardly want to imagine the experience during these difficult times of the pandemic without the support I received in both their hypno birthing class which I took privately with Lindsey and with Janna as my doula. I signed up later in the pregnancy but Lindsey accommodated me outside of her group class setting--if you can, reach out ASAP in your pregnancy, even if youre just several weeks in. So my backstory, I do have supportive family, but my sister who was most up to cheerleading lives far away, and my mom is more on the stoic side personality wise, a woman of few words, so I decided to hire help. Lindsey was easy to communicate with and learn from, booked but so responsive and made herself available. I will say, there is a lot of material to cover in the course, but when I felt shirt on time due to still working full time, Lindsey was reassuring helped me streamline. Very good hypnosis content applicable to areas of life outside birthing. For the birthing, Janna was very attentive and involved at all times, in a quiet way that helped me stay peaceful. I was shy at first but she was not overwhelming by any means. She was professional but relaxed and easy to trust under those conditions. Also huge item here: thank goodness Lindsey facilitated my switch from Inova Fairfax and The Physician and Midwives Collaborative to Inova Fair Oaks and Reston Womens Center. Nothing wrong with the former two, but they were not as conducive to natural birthing and did not offer a birthing tub. Using the tub at Fair Oaks, the only one available in Northern Virginia in February given the pandemic, and using hypnobirthing techniques made giving birth without pain medication so much easier! Not pain free but Iittle anxiety and felt that all of my wishes were respected, the midwife and nursing team did not rush me. I have zero regrets about my entire experience and appreciated Jannas following up with me in the weeks after. To cap it all off, at my 6 week OB follow up, my midwife asked who our doula was. She said, dont get me wrong I meet a lot of good doulas, but she was fantastic! You can tell this womans all in! She asked me for her contact info and added it to RWCs recommended doulas list. I would work with them again if we are blessed with another pregnancy.

I am SO GRATEFUL for Lindsey and her gift as a hypnotherapist. After just one session I noticed a marked improvement with a driving anxiety I developed a couple years ago. She has given me my freedom and confidence back. I was so embarrassed about my anxiety and I had tried everything I could think of; but after speaking with someone who benefited from her service I gave it a try. I am so grateful I did. I am 99% better and after my session today I am confident I will back to my old normal self. As a doctor and fellow healer I HIGHLY recommend her services. It has truly been life changing. Thank you so much Lindsey! Thank you!

Calming Presence, Excellent Communicator, Extremely Knowledgeable, Personal AttentionLindsey was vital to having the birth we hoped for. She gave us the knowledge, confidence and support we needed through HypnoBirthing Classes and also as our doula. We highly recommend Lindsey and will happily ask her to support any future births we may be blessed with.Trying to find the right words to even begin to describe what Lindsey provided us has been incredibly challenging. Even months after our birth, my husband and I talk about how glad we are we had Lindsey by our side every step of the way. She empowered us with knowledge as we considered our options for the birth process. She respected our preferences and helped us prepare for and ultimately experience the birth we envisioned.Lindsey was always generous with her time and made us feel valued and heard. She developed an authentic and trusting relationship with us making it easy and natural to share such an intimate and life changing experience with her. She exudes calm, confidence and is a reassuring presence which was instrumental in making our birth journey a joyful, beautiful, positive, and life-changing experience.Thank you Lindsey!

My husband and I recently attended Marks Couples Communication Workshop. It was incredibly effective and had an immediate positive impact.There are two things that made it really special. The first is that the structure of the workshop is framed perfectly. It allows for a flow of effective conversation and a deeper level of understanding of oneself and partner. The second is Mark. Mark is a great facilitator. He can make the most snippety of critics, my husband, comfortable. I was very impressed!I look forward to using Mark for all important transitions in my life. Thank you!!

My Reiki session with Lindsey Vick is truly the most healing and authentic time I have experienced with a therapist. I had a remote appointment with Lindsey doing our work over the phone. From the beginning, I felt Lindsey heard and understood my concerns and she gave me time to voice all that I needed. I think what impacted me the most and certainly was unexpected, was the in depth summary of our work that she emailed to me the same day. These notes have been beneficial for self reflection and insight. I am a repeat client and am grateful to know her.

I came to Lindsay with help getting unstuck. I was pretty sure i knew what my barriers were but i was actually wrong (or at least it wasnt the most pressing). through hypnosis i saw where my block was and find it all so fascinating. Its only been a day but i look forward to moving on with a better understanding and confidence towards my future business self!

I went to see Lindsay for a chakra clearing. Very impressed with her work. The analysis after was profound. She pinpointed me issues, which she was unaware of prior to and gave me the proper actions to take to heal. Thanks Lindsay!!

I have been going to Lindsey for a few years now and she just simply transforms my life for the better everytime I see her. She is very personable and caring. You can tell she really cares about her clients and it shows through her work. Her energy is so pure and there is no way you can come to her and leave the same way you came. She has helped me so much on my personal spiritual journey. She has helped me deal with emotional issues, regret, resentment, and helped me identity and alter my addiction. BOOK WITH LINDSEY SHE IS SIMPLY AMAZING!

Ive always been a little skeptical when it comes to energy healing, but no matter. Ive always felt much clearer and focused after my Reiki with Lindsay. I would highly recommended it for those individuals that are looking for something to help with focus, and are willing to give it a try.

My husband and I took hypnobirthing with Lindsey and I so enjoyed the class. Lindsey was extremely prepared, knowledgeable and passionate about natural child birth and the hypnobirthing techniques. She shared a lot of great examples in each class of births she had attended. Lindsey is extremely warm and will provide additional resources when needed. I also enjoyed the group in the class and Lindsey created a safe and trusting environment for people to share information and experiences. I would highly recommend taking hypnobirthing with Lindsey- she rocks! I feel much more confident in heading into my first birthing experience thanks to Lindsey :)

I took hypnobirthing here and had a wonderful experience. I had absolutely no fear going into my labor and was able to relax.

My husband and I took Lindsay’s 5 week hypnobirthing class in preparation for the birth of our first child. We wanted to have a natural unmedicated birth. We learned so much in Lindsay’s class! She provides so much supplemental materials in addition to the classes that you will be well prepared for birth and informed so you can make the best decisions for you and your baby.Lindsay has such a warm, calming presence and we just loved her as our teacher that we also had her as our doula! Without her we wouldn’t have had the confidence to leave our obgyn/midwife practice.We didn’t end up having the natural homebirth we envisioned due to complications with our pregnancy but Lindsay was still by our side coaching and supporting us all the way. We honestly could not have done it without her.We highly recommend her hypnobirthing class and her Doula services.

I cannot imagine our birthing experience without Lindsey Vick. We were lucky enough to have Lindsey recommended to us by a friend who use to be a doula in the area. I am a yogini and have been working for several years on leading a mindful life. I wanted a natural, intervention-free (if possible!) birth. It was important to us to have a doula who supported and worked well with us and these ideas. We interviewed Lindsey and one other doula but knew, almost immediately, that we wanted Lindsey. She was (and is!) warm, knolwedgeable, and has a great capacity to hold space for others.In addition to being a doula, Lindsey is a Hypnobirthing teacher and we were able to join her class. From these classes we gained valuable information on the birthing process, how to prepare our minds, bodies, and spirits for the birth of our baby AND felt empowered to ask questions of our medical providers and say no or not right now when needed. I have friends who share birthing stories in which it sounds like they were bullied by their providers. That was never our case, in large part thanks to Lindsey, and I have only the best memories of my birthing experience.One anecdote to hopefully convey the giving and healing spirit of Lindsey - The second night home from the hospital my husband collapsed and was taken to the emergency room in an ambulance. I was told to stay home with the baby by the EMTs. It was 3 in the morning and I called Lindsey. Her phone was on the fritz and she wasnt able to answer my call but she called me back immediately. Upon hearing what happened she came over and stayed with me and the baby (calming both of us) until my husband was home. I dont know what I wouldve done without her.If youre looking for a doula who is compassionate and passionate about mindful, beautiful births at least interview Lindsey. Even if you decided to go with someone else your time wont be wasted getting to know this wonderful person.

When I got pregnant last year, Lindsey was the first and only doula I met with before deciding she was the one for me! Unfortunately that pregnancy ended in miscarriage soon after; but when I became pregnant again this year Lindsey is the first doula I called! Lindsey has a very calming, soothing spirit without being imposing or overbearing. She is nonjudgmental and doesnt push any personal agenda - she is pro-mom and wants to work with you to achieve the birth that you desire. She also has a wealth of knowledge and resources that are extremely helpful when you need some assistance outside of her scope - for example, she recommenced a naturopath midwife (Dr. Katy Vega - amazing as well btw) for me to get some natural remedies for my blood pressure, and since visiting with her recommendation I have been feeling so much better!!! I havent given birth with Lindsey yet (due in September 2015) but I look forward to taking her hypnobirthing class this summer as well as having her by my side in labor. If you are looking for a compassionate, warm, spirited, knowledgeable and experienced doula - youve found her.

I hired Lindsey as my doula when I was pregnant with my second child. I also took her hypnobirthing classes. I thought the classes and the materials were fantastic. The fact that she prepares a folder with everything you need to practice the techniques at home, turned out to be very useful. The CD she gives to listen every day relaxed me so much and put me to sleep within minutes, which I absolutely loved since by the end of the pregnancy I was very uncomfortable and could not find a good position to sleep. She also gives a separate folder for her doula clients and based on the information she includes, I can tell she is knowledgeable in many areas of childbirth.I had my son on July-5-2014 and Lindsey assisted me during labor at the hospital. She did a really good job. I wanted to stay at home as long as I could before heading to the hospital to have the baby, therefore all the hypnobirthing techniques I learned in class came really handy while laboring at home and to keep me calm before the real contractions started.Lindsey is also very professional and is able to take any constructive feedback in a positive way. Another thing I found very useful was the fact that she knows other professionals and is able to recommend someone based on other services you may need (like postpartum massage therapist, chiropractor, placenta encapsulation, etc.)I highly recommend Lindsey and I am glad I took her classes and hired her as my doula. I had the natural birth experience I wanted!
