Testimonial for Patti Heimlich

Patti was lilke family during my pregnancy.  She provided such support through her kind words and her loving hands during her massages.  They were calming for me (and addictive!).  She was available whenever I needed her.  I had a traumatic fertility/pregnancy journey with my last child, so I could have had a lot of anxiety with this pregnancy.  Patti helped me to relax and enjoy every moment.  Her massages helped me with sacroiliac/hip pain.  She (along with Alayna Pagnani, chiropractor) were able to help my baby who loved to flip (transverse, breech, sunny side up) to line himself head down and avoid a c-section even though I was induced at 38 weeks.

During my delivery, Patti arrived early in the morning, and she was with me until I was breastfeeding my son.  She was creative with positioning to try to get my baby to move down.  She was aupportive of my desire to have a drug-free birth, and she was nurturing when she felt I needed the epidural to help my body to relax and let my baby turn in a way that the positioning tricks weren't letting him.  It turned out he was all wrapped up in the cord, so there was a reason he was having a hard time getting comfortable, which Patti had suspected all along!  It was a great experience.

After birth, the postpartum massage felt amazing, and in the comfort of my own house, you can't beat that.  She also taught me to massage my son, which we still do nightly at four months - he loves it!  I can't recommend Patti and her team enough.  They do great work
