Testimonial for Patti Heimlich
Patti is an exceptional doula. I could not have imagined either of my birth experiences without her. She truly served as a friend, advocate and source of strength during my labor. During both my pregnancies I went to her for predelivery massages and I believe that helped with a smooth labor. Also for both pregnancies, I had the induction massage and within 12 hours went into labor naturally. With my first pregnancy, my daughter would not drop down into my lower pelvis so Patti massaged me for 6 hours and then pushed for 10 minutes and delivered vaginally without an epidural. During my second pregnancy, I advanced very quickly to 9 cm but then stalled. Patti did not want me to receive pitocin so coached me through various positions and methods to get to 10 cm. Finally, she realized the baby had turned sunny side during my labor so she used a technique she has learned to get the baby to spin around. Due to her, I was able to deliver vaginally and without an epidural for the second time. I know that without Patti my labors would have been an entirely different experience. With her as my coach, I was able to achieve my labor goals and experience my delivery without an epidural. Additionally, after labor, she came to my house for the post partum massages. The massages are the best I have ever received. She shifts all of your limbs and muscles back into the proper position removing pain from the delivery and getting your body to shrink back to its original size right almost instantaneously. Patti is truly amazing and a gift from above.
