Hi! I’m Joy, a registered nurse turned doula with a deep passion for family, holistic wellness, and empowering women to make confident, informed choices throughout their birth journeys. My background in nursing gives me a strong foundation in evidence-based care, while my heart is rooted in nurturing, education, and emotional support. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll find me baking something homemade, tending to my garden, or spending time with the three little people I love most. After years in nursing, I felt called to follow my deeper passion: walking alongside women as they bring new life into the world. I believe birth is a natural and sacred experience, one that unfolds best when women are trusted, respected, and supported. My approach blends medical knowledge with a holistic perspective, honoring the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. It’s my greatest joy to help each woman feel seen, cared for, and empowered to make the choices that best serve her family and body. I’d be honored to be part of your story.

My biggest fear for this birth had a lot to do with the fact that I had gestational diabetes and I wasn’t sure what my labor and delivery would look like. I ended up having to be induced as a result of the diabetes. As a result labor lasted a long time and the contractions became unbearable. My doula was able to help with giving me strategies to help work through the pain and contractions. She used a few different strategies that helped me to get through a delivery with no pain medication. Her use of heat, oils, breathing and her attentiveness to my needs was the most helpful part. She was able to get me out of my own head to help me to help myself in the most productive way. The most unexpected perk of having a doula was the postpartum care. Tangela helped a lot with suggestions of how to deal with the healing process. She even provided some personally made items that I could use during my healing process. I would highly recommend DoulaSent Birth Services. The fact that I had someone to contact that would understand and sympathize but would also give practical useful tips and suggestions to remedy any troubles I had was wonderful. For anyone contemplating on hiring a doula, I would say go for it! It’s the support you don’t even realize you need until you’ve experienced it.

As a first time mom, having a doula was very important to me. I hired Monica as my doula for my 2025 birth. Monica provided much insight surrounding prenatal care, labor, delivery, and postnatal care. Her communication skills were as outlined as she provided details regarding her role and expectations, which left minimum room for questions due to being very informative. Hiring Monica, was one of the most rewarding aspects of my pregnancy.She assisted with creating my birth plan and ensuring that it was followed as best as could be during my delivery. She addressed concerns during laboring when I was unable to and needed to focus on labor management. The techniques that she provided to help contractions during labor was very successful and I progressed more once she arrived. To add, Monica arrived earlier than what was planned, with no hesistsnce, simply because I needed my doula assistance. Monica's dedication was shown throughout her service. I would highly recommend Monica and have her again as my doula!
