Hi there, I'm Joy!
I have always had a love for the miracle of birth & daily stand in AWE of our Creator, GOD! In my own 4 pregnancies, I have had the privilege of being cared for each step of the way by midwives. They served me well at each of my children’s births both in the hospital & in homebirth and am grateful for their services to this day! I have such fond memories. Our 5th child joined us through adoption. It was thrilling to receive him as a newborn in the hospital at just 3 days old. However your baby comes, it is my hope, that you too will have fond memories as you bring your baby into this world. There are many of us who would love to support you along the way!
My dear friend, Ranelle Williams, CPM, RM, asked me to team up with her as a Midwife Assistant in 2023. I have a background as an EMT (Certification earned in 2016), I have also worked providing In-Home Healthcare both for the State of CO and for private clients, as well as over 22 years of experience mothering! Since beginning to work as a Midwife Assistant, I have both gained/renewed certifications in CPR, adult & Infant, completed NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation) certification, and am always adding to my skill set with each birth I attend. I am also able to provide Placenta Encapsulation services for Moms interested in that.
I am a wife of 23 years and mother to 5 children ages 22-12. My family and I have lived in Longmont for 18 years. We are an active household as you can imagine! My husband, Ben, is an Air Force Veteran and now works as a Systems Engineer.

Drawing from my own personal journey as a mother of five, I understand the challenges and importance of having support during childbirth & during the post-partum period. This firsthand experience has fueled my passion to share my knowledge and support other mothers on their birthing & childraising journeys.
