Testimonial for Joyce Havinga-Droop CD(DONA), CLC, SpBCPE, BRM Pro
There are no words that can express how grateful I am for having Joyce with me during my birthing experience. But I will try. First off, thank you to a certain midwife who insisted that I hire a doula or she would not have accepted me as a home birth patient. Because of complications, I didn't get the home birth I wanted but I was able to have Joyce with me during my hospital experience. Needless to say, my hospital experience mostly went exactly how I didn’t want it to go but I survived it with some sense of conquest thanks to Joyce. Thanks to Joyce, I gave it everything I had in trying to have a natural birth. Joyce gave everything she had. She came with all her techniques and knowledge as mentioned by the other testimonials. That was awesome but what stays ingrained in my mind is how she held my hand, literally, through the more than 24 hours of contractions. And I was squeezing her poor hands to death. Joyce gave my daughter the opportunity to have skin to skin contact by having her father do it since I was in recovery and could not. And she took pictures of it. I can’t thank Joyce enough for this!! And after the birth, Joyce supported me while I had trouble breastfeeding, giving me advice and suggestion on how to get my daughter to latch on, etc. Joyce even provided tinctures and other natural remedies for the aid in milk production. Thanks to Joyce I never gave up on breastfeeding my daughter. Thank you Joyce for being an advocate, a coach, a teacher, a cheerleader, an inspiration!!
