Testimonial for Patti Heimlich
I am grateful that my friend referred me to Patti. She was personable and patient when we met. Gave us great information at the very first meeting about what services a doula provides and what to expect throughout the pregnancy. She never pushed me one way or another about my birthing choices, but provided me with information whenever I asked questions. She respected our decisions and worked with us. Patti gave me regular prenatal massages that soothed my aching pregnant body. I looked forward to those sessions tremendously. Her staff members were curteous and helpful, too. Patti helped ease my panicky first-time mommy jitters. She gave us clear instructions and "rehearsals" for the delivery. Those really helped us with our expectations and assisted us to plan for our baby's arrival. When we finally got to the hospital, Patti met us shortly after. She held my hand literally and figuratively. I clung to her comforting encouragements and her never-waiving calmness. She sat through nearly 15 hours (maybe more) with me. She massaged me and helped me move around. She provided comfort and strength. She was my rock. Patti worked seamlessly with my OB and the nurses. Her decades of experience was evident in her work. After birth, Patti continued to care for me. Her postpartum massages truly put my bones and muscles back in their places. Patti has more than my gratitude. She helped me bring my baby into the world with love and kindness. No words can describe how much Patti did for me and my family. If I am ever asked to give a rating, I would give Patti double thumbs up, 5 stars out of 5, A++ with extra credit, and a cherry on top.
