Birth Preparation with Joy
Imagine feeling totally confident about your baby’s birth, knowing that you have tools to feel calm and in control of your birth experience however it happens!
Congratulations on your pregnancy, I bet you can’t wait to meet your baby. I’m guessing nursery preparations are well under way, you’ve signed up for your Scottish Baby Box and your list of baby names is finally narrowing. Then the realisation hits ... Baby = Birth Suddenly there are more things to think about.
You are in the right place and I am so glad you have found me. I can help you!

What Others Say
Zoe & Partner
I hope our paths do cross again. You have been such a phenomenal support & fountain of knowledge at such a special time in our lives. Can't thank you enough.
Heather & Partner
I now feel much more confident about birth & that would not have happened without you. You can tell you care which sounds like an obvious thing but not always a given
Claire & Partner
I just want to thank you for all the information. I managed to stay at home until I was 6cm & it was the best part of the labour because I felt so calm and in control.
Sally
We have genuinely felt more at ease and excited about the birth of our daughter & we really feel you played a crucial part in this! This course has helped us to become much less apprehensive about the birth.
Amanda & Paul
Joy was a fantastic course leader - she was open, honest and practical. She made everyone feel included and knew when to give us time to talk amongst ourselves. She was friendly, knowledgeable and supportive.
Sophie
I had a birth pool! It was all natural as planned and I don't think I could have asked for a better experience. I just wanted to say thank you again for helping us make this choice as I know it made all the difference.
