Testimonial for Heather Christine Struwe PT, CAB-CD
We recommend Heather 100%! I can't imagine how things would have gone without her. We will be forever indebted and hope to keep her in our lives as she was such an important and significant part of bringing our baby into the world. In our pre-birth meetings, she walked us through many scenarios and what we can expect at the hospital since that was our plan and she had so much experience with those. She listened carefully to all of my MANY questions and gave us very complete answers. She has some good exercises that helped us come up with a Birth Wish List. We practiced relaxation and labor techniques so that we would be ready and comfortable using them. She gave us some good exercises and advice for baby positioning and starting labor. Our birth was nearly 36 hours and she was with us the whole time. She was such a positive and calming presence and kept our team all hydrated, comforted and motivated. She guided us with all of the many decisions and we felt that we were well informed. She made sure that the laboring environment was as we wished. We had hoped for a medication and intervention free labor and we were mostly able to do that. She was a strong advocate for us with the hospital staff to make sure that our wishes were considered as much as possible. I did wind up with a c-section. We really wanted to go through the labor process and she helped us accomplish that. She was even in the OR with us and helped update my family. The next day, she made sure that we were getting good care and that breastfeeding was coming along. In her post natal visits to our home, she made sure that we were all recovering and that breastfeeding was going well. She continues to be a resource for questions via text, e-mail and phone. Heather made us feel at ease and more confident going into this adventure. Plus, her sense of humor is most welcomed! She has such a calming and warm presence that it just felt right for her to be a part of this momentous event.
