Testimonial for Joyce Havinga-Droop CD(DONA), CLC, SpBCPE, BRM Pro
My husband and I had a fantastic birthing experience with Joyce who helped us deliver our baby girl in May 2016 at the Greenwich Hospital. Prior to the delivery, she met several times with both of us to go through our birth plan and preferences, always responding to the many questions we had and giving us evidence-based data and advice on best approaches. During the delivery which lasted more than 12 hours, she gave me the most caring support I could dream of, helping with both the psychological and physiological aspects of the process. She spent the night without closing her eyes always at my bed side. Giving birth is a very intimate experience and a doula needs to adapt to the parent's needs and personalities - Joyce did so extremely well through her humanity, emphaty and expertise. Her post-partum advice helped me navigate the challenges linked to breastfeeding and recovery - and i am still in touch with her for advice and guidance which she always provides as she is most passionate about helping new mothers and families. We can only recommend her wholeheartidly and will use her again if we have another child. Silvia Danailov and Nadir Benguernane
