Testimonial for Joyce Havinga-Droop CD(DONA), CLC, SpBCPE, BRM Pro
Doula Joyce has changed my life! She was present at the birth of my second son and helped to make it such an amazing experience, I felt reborn afterwards.
The birth of my first son was a traumatic experience for me, physically and emotionally. When I got pregnant again and was going to give birth again I was really scared. Joyce was really supportive in this anxious time leading up to the birth. Always there for me during meetings and phone calls.
When the actual birth started she was a continuous calming presence around me. There were times where I panicked as memories from the first birth surfaced, she always had the right tools and responses at hand to calm me down and encourage me.
But she went beyond calming and encouraging, she actually managed to make it into a beautiful and a spiritual experience - not something you have to ‘just get through’.
She interacted in a wonderful manner with everybody else involved: the doctors, the nurses, and most importantly, my husband.
I have always felt that after the birth of my first son I was never the same again - in a negative way. Since the birth of my second son I feel better than ever…
Joyce, together with my OB definitely made that happen. In other words, I cannot recommend her highly enough!
