Doula support and practical birth preparation for families across Cheshire and surrounding areas.
~ Dr Sara Wickam
"Joy brought a calm, reassuring energy that made me feel supported and empowered every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly listened to what I needed. I felt safe, informed, and cared for throughout my experience. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for doula support — she made a world of difference!"
"Thank you for believing in me even when I didn't believe in myself, helping me find my voice & path that was right for me, providing unwaivering compassion, advice, support & clarity, even in the cloudiest of times ❤️"
10/10 would recommend Joy as a doula. She supported us during our pregnancy, VBAC and beyond with our daughter and has been nothing but amazing. Her antenatal sessions about biomechanics are extremely interesting and have been super beneficial. She knows what she’s doing and talking about and not once have I doubted our decision to have her as our doula. She goes above and beyond and is just the best. No surprise our baby chose to be born on her birthday!
4 days Joy sat with us as we practically fought for my VBAC in hospital. Her ability to think outside of the box when seemingly all of our options were gone, to know when and how to use movement to help our baby down and out - it was the difference between a repeat c-section and not. Thank you.
My last labour was a long and slow induction process in hospital, that ended in forceps and a lot of trauma. We decided to hire Joy and she supported us in exploring our options and acted as a sounding board for us as we worked to decide where to give birth. When I went into labour at home I didn't expect things to move so fast, but Joy had spent months getting to know me and she just knew -after I told her I was pretty sure it would take a long time, she quietly drove to us and parked near our home just in case. It's lucky she did, because our baby decided to arrive 20 minutes later before midwives or anyone could get to us - having Joy there as a reassuring energy and someone we knew meant everything.
As a dad I can honestly say hiring Joy was one of the best decisions we made. I’d recommend it to any dad without hesitation. It wasn’t just about supporting my partner it was about supporting me too. Having someone there who I could talk to, ask questions to and lean on made a huge difference. She knew us, understood what we wanted and made sure I felt involved. Instead of feeling unsure or on the sidelines I felt confident, included and able to actually be present for the experience. That reassurance is something I didn’t even realise I needed, but I’m so grateful we had it.
