Testimonial for Joyce Havinga-Droop CD(DONA), CLC, SpBCPE, BRM Pro
I can't say enough positive things about Joyce or imagine my pregnancy and the birth of my first child without her. She was with my husband and me every step of the way - explaining what was happening, helping to advocate for me when I couldn't, and using every tool in her toolkit to help me through labor. She worked together with the doctors or nurses in a supportive, collaborative fashion and made sure that both my husband and I understood what was going on and the risks/benefits of each intervention in a nonjudgemental fashion based in facts. When my son was finally born but had respiratory issues, she reassured me based on her years of experience and kept me calm. When my milk took 5 days to come in and I had trouble breastfeeding, again -- she shared every tool and bit of helpful advice she could. She is truly an angel and I am forever grateful for all she did for my family. I wish all women could experience feeling as supported, loved and safe on their pregnancy and birth journey as Joyce did for me.
