Testimonial for Joy Batchelder CD-L

Joy came recommened to me by some close friends so right off the bat I knew I was going to be able to trust her. As I got to know her, I really felt like she was the perfect presence for my planned homebirth. She was filled with peace and gentleness during all of our interactions and would make the best addition to my birth team! She helped me walk through gestational diabetes and made me feel supported and less alone. During my actual labor, she provided AMAZING counter pressure and was so attentive to my needs. I ended up having a rather traumatic birth and needed to transfer to the hospital. She stayed by my side until my son was born. She was my sounding board for every decision I needed to make and she provided an added layer of peace that I really needed. I can't recommend Joy enough!!
