Testimonial for Joyce Havinga-Droop CD(DONA), CLC, SpBCPE, BRM Pro
I am so happy I chose Joyce to be my doula for the birth of my first child and I am so appreciative to have had her support! From the start of our time working together I felt I could trust her because of her vast experience and calm demeanor. She helped me weigh the pros and cons of a few different decisions I was planning on making for my birth. My birth didn't go as expected but Joyce was there every step of the way helping guide me forward with each decision I made and understand everything that was going on. I especially appreciated her presence when we were at the hospital because while the doctors and nurses were focused on watching stats and communicating those to the rest of their team, Joyce made sure I understood what was going on. She also helped my husband make sure he was doing whatever he could to be helpful to me and she gave him some much needed relief during a long labor. Post-partum she visited us while we were still in the hospital and also a few weeks after we got home. Especially after the unexpected c section it was really helpful to talk to Joyce about everything that happened to process the experience and discuss questions I had after having time to reflect. If you are considering hiring Joyce, absolutely do it! I can't imagine a better doula to have by your side!!
