​Congratulations on your pregnancy! Or, if you're already in the thick of parenthood, welcome – you’re in the right place.
​
Hello, I’m Joy, For 20 years I've helped thousands of expectant parents prepare for birth and parenthood with confidence. My courses and workshops combine evidence-based learning with calm, compassionate guidance so you can ask questions, explore your options, and build real connections with others on the same path.
​
I created Birth Prep with Joy because when I was pregnant, I craved more than a lecture. I wanted community, practical support and a safe space to explore all my choices without judgement. That's what I offer now and I am so glad you are here.
Here for You Every Step of the Way
Services Overview
I'm not here to tell you how to give birth or feed your baby. I'm here to walk beside you, help you feel informed and support the choices you want to make.
