Testimonial for Patti Heimlich
Patti is not only an amazing doula but an amazing person. I am so glad that I hired her early! I had my husband call Patti when my labor was progressing and I felt that I was going to end up going down a path I did not want to be on and end up with a c-section. Prior to Patti arriving, I was getting pain medicine every hour and was very uncomfortable. From the moment she arrived, she put me (and my husband) at ease, and I didn't even need any pain medicine for another 4-5 hours. She is so talented, and her massage skills are unparalleled. She was so patient and spent the entire day with us during my induction. I felt a milion times better with her presence and the day was calmer and more peaceful with her there. She paid close attention to my baby and was even more responsive than my nurse! She stayed even after the delivery to help me with breast feeding which was a huge help.
I even had the pleasure of having her come over after the baby was born to do my post-partum massage (which was amazing) and to teach infant massage. I loved the massage and even scheduled another one with her already! She knows exactly what your body needs during labor and afterwards. She is a highly intuitive person. I never had to tell her what I wanted and she just seemed to sense it and know. I am forever grateful for her presence during my delivery and if I ever have another baby I would undoubtedly hire her again. Although now thinking back to my labor the whole experience seems like a blur, but I do remember Patti's calming and relaxing presence.
She also taught a very helpful and efficient childbirth class. I also had some prenatal massages with Patti which were so great and helped during labor. She is truly AMAZING.
