​Congratulations on your pregnancy! Or, if you're already in the thick of parenthood, welcome – you’re in the right place.
​
I’m Joy, and I’ve spent nearly 20 years supporting parents just like you during the antenatal and postnatal period. Whether you’re here to prepare for a positive, empowering birth experience, get personalised help with feeding your baby, or to process a tough birth experience, my services are designed to meet you exactly where you are.
​
Parenthood is a big deal, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why I provide tailored support, grounded in compassion, evidence, and respect for your unique journey.

Why Work With Me?
​
I know that every parent’s journey is different. That’s why I reject the "one size fits all" approach and instead celebrate the individual path of each parent I work with. My mission is to:
​
-
Build your confidence in making decisions for you and your baby,
-
Empower you with evidence-based information,
-
Create a nurturing space where you feel autonomous and heard.
​
No matter what your journey looks like, I’ll walk alongside you to provide support that’s as unique as you are.
