Testimonial for Heather Christine Struwe PT, CAB-CD
A Father’s Perspective:
I imagine that there are a lot of soon-to-be fathers out there that are sitting in the same shoes that I was. I was a first time father with little knowledge of pregnancy, labor, or delivery. My wife approached me because she was interested in hiring a doula and I said, “A Do-What? My wife explained to me what a doula is and I was skeptical. It was clear to me that my wife was nervous about her pregnancy and I could tell that hiring a doula would put her at ease, so I agreed that hiring a doula was a good decision.
We interviewed multiple doulas and hired Heather Struwe. Heather has an infectious personality and was clearly an experienced doula. However, the thing that I was most drawn to was the fact that Heather is very well educated and has a medical background. For me, Heather’s education and training made her resume stand out.
Heather came to our home for educational and planning sessions prior to my wife’s delivery. I found these meetings to be absolutely essential and a vital aspect to our successful delivery. Heather was very organized with these sessions, with about half of the time dedicated to educating us and the other half was devoted to labor and delivery planning.
Labor and delivery is where Heather really shined and became an unbelievable partner for me as the husband/father. My wife labored for over twelve hours and Heather was incredible the whole time. She has a bottomless bag of tricks for labor comfort measures, positions, etc. I truly believe that Heather’s expertise contributed to the success of my wife’s labor and delivery. During labor, Heather became a teammate for me. She supported me, so I could support my wife. She challenged us to remember our plan despite adversity.
In conclusion, Heather’s doula services far surpassed my expectations. I can’t imagine going through this process without Heather.
