Testimonial for Patti Heimlich
I would say Patti is worth every penny but quite honestly I think her presence at our daughter’s birth was priceless. Not only does she bring 30 years of quality experience, she shows up with the most incredible aura. Calm, confident, and steady.
Throughout the pregnancy, she was checking in on us regularly and provided guidance on how to manage the last few weeks of pregnancy. The pre-labor massage seemed to reduce the time I was in early labor and she took diligent time to talk through our birth plan so that we felt equipped for the big day.
When the big day arrived, she arrived at the hospital quickly after we alerted her. She coached us on proper positioning and was the necessary resource during the chaos of childbirth. I had a tight pelvis and back labor and she was able to provide insight and direction on what decisions might be best for our specific case.
Patti sees the whole picture of childbirth and was able to help my baby come out smoothly and without complications. I truly believe I would have had to have a c-section without her there. My husband and I call it is a p-section (P for Patti).
I thought having her at the birth was essential but even more so was she essential postpartum. She spent many hours putting my body back together, working on our baby girl, teaching us massage techniques and breast feeding tips. Our baby had a bad crick in her neck and would roll over to her side at night which made us worried. After Patti released her tense body, she has been sleeping so much better and is able to keep her neck straight.
I hope Patti is around for all my future babies births because I can’t imagine doing it without her! She is the Mother Theresa of childbirth and has given her life in the service of mamas and babies. She has the most important job in the world and she does it so well.
