She offers personalized Prenatal, Birthing, and Postpartum support; as well as, Birth Photography, Hypno Birthing Support, Placenta Encapsulation, Lactation Support, and Childbirth Education. Joy’s goal is to give you and your family the attention and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your pregnancy and labor process. She is a certified doula, and studying for her nursing degree. Once her degree is complete, she will become a certified nurse midwife. Her long-term goal is to establish birthing centers around the world to help women experience a positive birth in a supportive environment.
What led you to become a Doula?: She became deeply rooted in helping others experience the beauty of birth when she experienced infertility of her own. During this hard time, she was asked to attend her first birth, and the experience changed her life forever. After this birth, she decided to use her infertility and loss for the good, to turn it around and have loving women become her passion. Whether she was able to carry a baby or not of her own, she wanted to do everything possible to give women the most beautiful and empowering birth experiences and knew her next steps were to become a Doula.
What are some positive comments made about you by other people?:
Joy has become dedicated to helping mothers have so much more than just a standard birth experience. Woman feel empowered by the exceptional service she provides through physical, emotional, and informational support before, during, and after birth.
Joy creates a relaxing atmosphere for the mother and partner throughout the pregnancy experience through a positive, genuine, and encouraging personality. Joy’s experience with the struggle of infertility and overcoming such a hardship has given her a compassionate heart to serve, encourage and educate families on their journey throughout parenthood. Joy builds a deep relationship with her clients by using her strong communication skills and listening to their desires, wants, and needs for their birth experience.
A desire that Joy has had is to grow her family not just biologically but through adoption as well. With her first adoption Joy was so passionate about breastfeeding that she was able to induce lactation and breastfeed.
