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

The support Joyce offered both me and my husband before, during and after my daughter’s birth has been invaluable. I was very nervous about delivering in a hospital and the medical interventions I thought they might push upon me. Joyce helped me articulate what I wanted for my labor and delivery and made me and my husband feel comfortable and supported from our very first meeting. I wanted to labor at home for as long as possible and with her support and advice I was able to do so. She was always available to talk or text and her responsiveness helped us stay calm and feel informed. Once at the hospital, Joyce worked wonderfully with the doctor and nurses and explained things to us so that we felt comfortable and in control. She was able to intuit what I needed and took care of it without me saying a word. She was also extremely supportive after my daughter was born and helped me identify resources I never would have found on my own. I am so thankful that Joyce was there for the birth of our first daughter!
