Testimonial for Joyce Havinga-Droop CD(DONA), CLC, SpBCPE, BRM Pro
Joyce was my doula for my last three births (2015, 2019, and 2021), and I cannot imagine having another baby without her! In all three of my births, which were at home with midwives, Joyce was an incredible source of knowledge, support, and love for me, my husband, and our older children. Her experience and knowledge is vast. Most importantly, she has a deep respect for the mother's autonomy and independence. During labor itself, she was an invaluable resource. She is the most calm person I've ever met, and her calmness and strength during labor made me & my husband feel safe and truly supported in all ways. She knows all the tricks for different aspects of labor, and can be very hands-on if you need her to -- but she also knew when I needed space and solitude, and supported that as well. Postpartum, she knew just what to do to support me and my family. Joyce has become a very special person in my life over the years, and I wish every mother could have Joyce as a doula.
