Testimonial for Joy Batchelder CD-L
From the beginning to the end up the process, Joy was amazing and one of the best decisions we made.
Joy was super helpful from the moment we booked her. We had two separate calls leading up to the birth talking through all of our goals & what to expect. She was really organized and had tons of helpful resources we could reference. She also checked in with us regularly leading up to the birth to see how my body was progressing & offered lots of support.
When labor actually started she was willing to be with us from the beginning & and helped so much with understanding how to move through contractions and gave so much practical help with counter pressure, different positions to try, and how to move the baby into the right position. I ended up having a grueling 36 hour labor with an unexpected hospital transfer and she stayed with us the entire time.
The entire time she was was warm & kind and made us feel so supported. We would recommend her to anyone!
