Testimonial for Joyce Havinga-Droop CD(DONA), CLC, SpBCPE, BRM Pro

Joyce was amazing from the very beginning. My husband and I knew we wanted to hire her as soon as our initial consultation ended. She is extremely knowledgeable about birthing babies, she also has wonderful insight on many things after birth. We got our pediatrician recommendation from Joyce.

Not only is she super supportive but working with her and meeting with her was always very empowering for me. She believes deeply in the physiological birth and the process; she believes deeply in each person's ability to birth their baby the way they wish to. And she will be right beside you to make sure no one gets in the way of that. I wanted an unmedicated birth, and as a first timer I was a bit nervous about all of it. Every time we'd meet with her I always felt so good about the upcoming birth and my abilities. For our meetings Joyce showed up with a bag of visual graphics, pamphlets on breastfeeding, dirty diapers, a book of affirmations for me, syringes for colostrum harvesting, calendula oil, magnesium. I felt so supported, prepared and cared for. Joyce got in my bed with me while I labored in bed at home before going to the hospital; she squeezed my hips while I sat facing the back of the toilet; she sat in the back of the car with me on the way to the hospital; she was quick to tell the woman in the ER I did not want to be touched.  If we decide to have another baby we already know that we will be hiring Joyce.
