Providing Full-Spectrum Doula Services to Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana Families
As a young girl, I naturally gravitated toward nurturing others, and that passion only deepened as I became a teen mom myself.
During my own pregnancy, I was introduced to a doula program and had the privilege of being supported by a doula who made a lasting impact on my life. That experience planted a seed—one that later grew into my purpose. Although I once dreamed of becoming an OBGYN, life led me down a different path. I've spent over 10 years working in education and nonprofit spaces, serving in roles ranging from infant preschool teacher to higher education professional, including work with organizations like Chicago Public Schools. Through it all, my passion for supporting others remained constant.
In 2021, I experienced the heartbreaking loss of my baby during the third trimester. That season changed me deeply. After six months postpartum, I found my way into birth work—not just as a career, but as a part of my healing. What began as a step toward restoration became a clear calling.
Today, I offer what I call “whole wombcare”—support that nurtures the mind, body, and soul. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to care. Every family deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in a way that honors their unique journey.
My philosophy is simple:
Every mother and family deserves autonomy over their body, their birth, and their baby—supported with compassion, respect, and intention every step of the way.
Welcome, I'm JOY

"Choosing Joy was the absolute best decision I could have made! It truly was God’s will because we knew each other previously from college. Joy was not only extremely supportive but professional, I never felt like I wasn’t getting the full experience because of us knowing each other. We were treated like any other mom/baby! Love and cherish her forever."

"My doula, Joy, was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, supportive, and present through every step of my birth experience. Even though I ended up having a C-section, she stayed and waited until I was back in my postpartum room. She took the time to debrief with me and poured so much love, reassurance, and support into both me and my husband.
Joy is truly a part of our family now. Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or scheduled C-section, Joy should be a part of your birth experience. The education, preparation, and care she provides are unmatched. I am forever grateful for her.
Honestly, I would have another baby just to have her as my doula again."
Briana P.
"The best decision I made was to have Joy as our doula. She was truly a blessing during a very scary birthing experience. This was my 3rd pregnancy; a super long labor at that. Despite hospital complications; I was able to count on Joy for comfort, prayer, and to be my voice of reason. I would recommend her over and over again."
Kalere P.
"I came in late in my pregnancy switching doulas, and even though it was late it was the best experience I had compared to what I had to previous deal with. Joy gives you the experience you deserve and except out of your doula. Even after birth. Joy you deserve greatness you are truly gifted at the job you do and I thank you for everything, keep up your amazing work ."

Joy is such a blessing and I couldn’t thank her enough for being so thorough, patient and kind during our birthing and post-partum journey. She met all of our needs and is always sure to check in and follow up if we have any questions or concerns. She’s HIGHLY recommended, professional and knowledgeable and I couldn’t imagine another birth without her!

"My daughter had an amazing experience with Joy as her doula! She was sensitive to carry out all of the wishes contained in the birth plan, while using wisdom. Joy is sweet, professional and thorough. She aims to please."

"This doula is truly a blessing to our community. She shows up with compassion, knowledge, and genuine care for every family she supports. Her calming presence and dedication make such a difference during some of life’s most important moments. If you want someone who is dependable, supportive, and deeply committed to families, she’s the one."

"I decided I wanted a Doula when I found out I was pregnant with my second baby. Having Joy throughout my pregnancy was such a blessing!! No matter what time I contacted her with any concerns or need of support, she answered. I had the smoothest, most stress-free labor because of Joy!! I felt so at ease and confident going into this birth vs my first. We went over my birth plan and she came through!! The ambiance of the room, affirmations, breathing with me, etc. I felt so comfortable!! The birth was such a breeze with her support, literally my dream birth!! If you are looking for a Doula, I’d recommend Joy a million times!!!"
Jazmine H.
"Working with Joy as a postpartum doula was one of the best decisions I made for me and my baby. I was in the thick of it—exhausted, navigating postpartum depression, and just trying to survive—and Joy stepped in like an angel. She gave me the gift of rest when I desperately needed it and cared for my son like he was her own.
Her knowledge, compassion, and steady presence made such a difference navigating life as a new mom. She came with so many helpful tips and resources, and I always felt like I could trust her completely. I delighted in knowing I would wake up to clean and folded laundry, washed bottles and a sense of calm to start the day.If you’re a new mom in need of support, I can’t recommend Joy enough. She’s not just a doula, she’s a blessing."
