Testimonial for Patti Heimlich
Patti has been my doula for the pregnancy and birth of both of my children, most recently this July 2018. My husband and I cannot sing her praises more highly! She has devoted her career and her life towards supporting women and their partners through pregnancy, childbirth, and the post-partum period. Patti has decades of experience assisting women in countless births, and this real-life experience comes into play in so many helpful ways: she is reassuring in times of doubt, she is a source of information about "what other mother's do", and she has a keen sense about the health of the mom and the baby in times when additional medical care may be needed. Patti knows the ins and outs of many of the hospitals around Houston and has the gift of both being "present"and an advocate for mom while in the delivery room to ensure the birth plan goes as smoothly as possible, and also works as a member of the entire delivery team of nurses and physicians to have the safest and streamlined birthing process.
Patti's massage experience is such a gift, and she has this wonderful intuition, and the formal training, about anatomy such that she eases the discomfort with her massage in the pregnancy phase, assists with positioning of mom during labor, and "puts mom back together again" in the post-partum period when the relaxin is still keeping the joints malleable.
As Benjamin Franklin said: "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Asking Patti to be your doula and part of your birth experience will be such a wise and fruitful investment. I can't recommend her enough!
