Hiring Joyce was one of the best decisions I made for my pregnancy and delivery! She was a constant source of advice, support, and resources to help me prepare. I was planning a homebirth and — in the final month of pregnancy — it was recommended that I be induced in the hospital, which was a difficult decision for my husband and I. Joyce provided us with invaluable emotional support amid the unexpected changes.
During my actual labor, I was impressed not only by Joyce’s attentiveness and focus but by her ability to provide us support while still giving us our own space. She participated in a way that was only helpful, carefully evaluating our needs and wishes throughout the entire process. She not only honored my birth plan but used her expertise to interpret our wishes for the small details and events that you can’t plan for — delivering on everything we wanted in a doula and more. She made helpful suggestions, provided explanations, and gave gentle reminders that helped me have the unmedicated, vaginal delivery I had hoped for, despite the less than perfect circumstances. I feel forever indebted to Joyce for my delivery and would choose her over and over again!
