About
At Joyfulbirths, I am dedicated to providing you with the resources to achieve the safest, healthiest and most joyful birth possible. A woman’s body is perfectly designed for giving birth, and you can learn how to work with your body to give birth naturally! My passion is to help expectant parents understand the natural birth process, make informed choices, and take responsibility for their baby’s health from conception to birth and beyond!
There is a “Have it your way” kind of attitude among people in our society, saying it doesn’t make a difference how the baby was born as long as it gets here. But my question is, what do babies want?… what do they need for their optimal development? What kind of birth will leave the mother feeling empowered, joyful, and ready to embrace motherhood? I believe babies need to be nurtured in the womb and be allowed to be born when they are ready. They need to benefit from the natural process of labor and not have unnecessary drugs going into their little bodies that they have to process on their own. They want to be born safely and gently right into their mother’s arms where they can stay and be nurtured in the “outer womb”, feeling the connection and warmth of breastfeeding.
This is the “ideal” scenario of birth that is attainable for the majority of healthy mothers with healthy babies. I want to help couples know how to get here. And even if complications arise along the way, I prepare and support parents to handle this in a positive way for the best possible outcome. This is why I started Joyfulbirths.
