Testimonial for Heather Christine Struwe PT, CAB-CD
I couldn't imagine my L&D without Heather.
We met with 4 other potential doulas, but from our initial email exchange I had a good feeling about Heather. We were able to schedule our initial meet and greet through an online scheduler (perfect for my Type A self). She was flexible and offered to come to the house since we also had to work around our toddler's schedule. Heather came prepared with notes and information, which was very helpful since this was our first experience hiring a doula.
Although this was our second birth, Heather's pre-natal visits included great reminders and education of childbirth. We also practiced some techniques and positions that we could (and did) use during labor. During labor, Heather provided a great balance of involving my husband and taking charge as needed. I liked her extensive experience with mamas delivering at Methodist Hospital. She even knew where to find all the paraphernalia in the various triage and delivery rooms as if she worked there. :-) My birth wishes included an epidural-free experience and I would not have been able to do so had it not been for Heather's continuous mental and physical support, breathing reminders, and her knowledge of options.
An extra bonus is that since Heather teaches small classes of prenatal yoga, I was able to get to know her and check in with her a lot before the birth, outside of the 2 prenatal visits. I now take baby yoga and family yoga at her studio with a wonderful community of mamas, many of whom I had gotten to know at prenatal yoga.
I would highly recommend Heather and wish I would have had her with us for our firstborn!
