Joy Batchelder, CD-L

 Hi, I’m Joy - wife to my husband, Joey, mom to three littles and one lovable fur baby. I started my career as an ECC Veterinary Technician, but my heart has led me into a new and deeply meaningful chapter: serving as a Doula.

Caring for others has always come naturally to me. As the oldest of four children, I grew up as the "mini mom" — the one who nurtured, supported, and encouraged everyone around me. Helping people feel safe, seen, and supported is where I’ve always thrived.

Now, I’m honored to use these God-given gifts to walk alongside women and families during one of life’s most vulnerable, emotional, and powerful seasons - pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

As your Doula, I’m here to support both you and your partner in whatever way you need. I’ll make sure you’re informed and empowered as you navigate decisions throughout your pregnancy, labor, and beyond.

My care includes:

• Educational support and birth preparation during pregnancy
• Physical and emotional support and encouragement during labor and birth
• Postpartum support to help you feel grounded, confident, and cared for

The support I offer goes beyond checklists - it's real, responsive, and relational. That means chatting as needed, holding space for your emotions, offering evidence-based information, and being a steady, calming presence from beginning to end.

The support of a Doula is truly unmatched - and I’d love to be that support for you.
