Testimonial for Joanna Guzman

Joanna provided a motherly, nurturing presence for this first time mom as we prepared to welcome our little one in the fall of 2021. From our virtual meet and greet to our labor and delivery at Morristown Medical, Joanna walked along side us as the perfect companion with her warm and gentle temperament. I knew from the moment I met with Joanna that she was the right support person for us. She was patient with all of my first time mom questions, shared her own experiences and never rushed us. We always felt like we were in a safe space with Joanna. She provided us with an abundance of resources from her own experience and extensive research, from nutrition and exercises during pregnancy, to hard facts and data regarding medical interventions during labor and delivery. She met with us three times at our home leading up to our son’s birth and each time we felt more and more prepared. At our third home visit before the birth of our son, Joanna showed us exercises that we could do to assist in the labor process and took the time to help us practice!

On the night of labor, we contacted Joanna late at night and as promised she responded very promptly, guiding us with what to expect and asking questions to help us understand all that we were experiencing. For our delivery, we actually changed course three times and Jonna was totally understanding - the peaceful voice that we needed! At the hospital, Joanna was another advocate for us. After the miracle of our son’s birth, she stayed to make sure we were doing well. She has always been so present to us and our needs.

Lastly, it was such a joy to welcome Joanna into our home for the post-birth visit. At this point, it honestly felt like we were welcoming family over when Joanna came in and we shared stories from that incredible night. We were so blessed that Joanna stepped into our lives at such an important moment and would certainly recommend her to walk along side other expectant couples.
