Testimonial for Joyce Havinga-Droop CD(DONA), CLC, SpBCPE, BRM Pro

I hired Joyce even before I knew who my provider for the delivery would be.  I thought "as long as Joyce and my husband are there, we can do this!"  I was so right.   After my husband and I met Joyce it was clear she was a natural and necessary part of our team for the birth of our first child in July 2014.

She has a strong and positive presence, while being patient and easy-going.  She possesses a wealth of knowledge on all matters related to prenatal, postnatal and babycare.  Her Positive Birth Meetings are educational and provide a sense of community during such a crucial time.  Joyce was calm and clear throughout the whole process. During labor she kept me focused, while fully supporting my husband and his role.  I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Joyce and have learned so much from her.

Even after the birth Joyce was instrumental in helping my son latch correctly and answered any questions I had via text or telephone.   The two postpartum meetings were such a gift and essential to my physical and emotional healing.  Set up an intervierw over tea and you will not be disappointed. She goes above and beyond--oatmeal cookies and late night texts, to name a few.
