Testimonial for Patti Heimlich
This was the second birth I used Patti's doula services for, and she was an incredible support once again. Her massages help with labor prep and positioning of the baby, and her childbirth class provided just the right information I needed to understand what was happening in my body during labor so I could better prepare mentially for what I was experiencing. I knew I did not want to have an epidural, but I also knew that this choice is less common in a hospital setting, so knowing that Patti would be there to support me and offer guidance and pain management strategies during labor gave me the confidence I needed to stick to my birth plan. She was actually recommended to me by my OB. I ended up having a very quick delivery, but when my contractions were the worst, she knew just what to do to help manage the pain, and it made a huge difference for me. I also felt confident that if things had gone differently and I needed more medical interventions or elected to have an epidural that Patti would support my decisions and still provide support through my labor to ensure that things progressed as quickly as possible.
In addition, her postpartum massages are amazing. I was dreaming of it my whole pregnancy, and it was exactly what I hoped for once again. Somehow she just puts everything in your body back together and in alignment following pregnancy and childbirth, and I could start to feel more like myself again.
I am so grateful I found Patti and couldn't recommend her more highly.
