Testimonial for Heather Christine Struwe PT, CAB-CD
We worked with Heather for the preparation and births of both of our sweet kiddos, and I can't say enough good things about working with her. Positive energy is Heather in a nutshell. In the preparation, she armed us with lots of great information and definitely helped us get our head in the game (since you never can be truly 'prepared' for such a life changing event). It was comforting to know she had such great experience with body mechanics/movement give her work was a physical therapist, yoga instructor and doula. I was hoping to have unmedicated births with both kids, and was able to do so in large part to the hours of coaching, positioning, massage, movement and support that Heather and my husband provided (with her help). My husband was a little unsure about using a doula before we got into this, but he also had a great experience with Heather - he was definitely a key part of the proess, and appreciated having someone there who had more perspective on what was going on. She did a lot in the pre-coaching to arm him with positioning and information on how to help me during labor as well. She worked very seamlessly with the labor and delivery team at the hospital, and which made me feel very secure as I labored and prepared for delivery. For the second birth, we certainly had a lot more confidence going into it, but no two births are ever the same and again we were very grateful to have her support. After the births, she met with us twice more, which was incredibly helpful for me as I was still working through nursing issues and baby blues. She followed up with me via text often as well, and was always willing to give advice (or a cheer!) throughout. Both babies and I joined Heather for her postnatal baby bonding classes (highly recommended as well), and it was so fun to see her again and show off the fruits of our labor ;)
