Khrystyna is my friend, and it feels great to write this review for her. She supported me throughout my pregnancy journey and offered invaluable advice after the birth of my baby. Her presence, care, and wisdom meant so much to me—and I’ll be forever grateful.

Ever since Jessica can remember, she has followed her calling to care for others. She knew from a young age that she wanted to be a nurse, and she has never deviated from that path. When she was able to formally follow her passion, she volunteered at CHOC hospital while in high school to care for sick infants. Jessica was accepted into the rigorous five- year nursing program at San Francisco State University, and was one of the 50% of remaining nursing students that successfully earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and passed her Board Exams to be licensed as a registered nurse. While enrolled in her rigorous courses at SFSU, she also became certified as a doula and donated her time to work with low- income families and assist women in the prison population at their births. Jessica’s experience during clinicals at different hospitals in the Bay Area made her question some of the traditional protocols that hospitals use, such as intervention in all births, even those that are at low risk. She began to explore other options, and was hired as an intern at The Sanctuary and Birth Center in Los Angeles. After graduating from SFSU. Jessica sought a practical balance and applied to and was accepted into the Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery where she learned and practiced a holistic approach to childbirth. During this 2 ½ year program, she was on call 24/7 for births, prenatal, and postpartum visits that were sandwiched in between her coursework. Jessica graduated, passed her Board Exams, and is a CPM-LM- Certified Professional Midwife and Licensed Midwife. Jessica has participated in more than 145 home births, and over 200 hospital births; she is well acquainted with the protocols of both. Jessica believes that in order to be the best midwife for her clients, she must be as educated and knowledgeable as possible, which led Jessica to complete courses in the Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and Midwifery program at Georgetown University. Jessica continues to further her education by staying up to date on advances in the health care field, and continue her studies at Frontier Nursing University. Jessica has officially graduated with a Master's of Science in Nursing with honors. Jessica’s ultimate goal is to combine the benefits of both western and eastern medical practices to her patients. As of yet, there isn't any other licensed midwife that has the breadth and depth of education that Jessica has achieved. Jessica believes in including the patient as part of the decision-making process. Jessica’s philosophy is that a woman should learn to trust her body and allow nature to take its course in a holistic manner when she is low risk and healthy—intervention is not always the solution. Jessica will be the strongest and most ardent advocate for mom and baby. Mom must also be educated and informed, and thus, she has responsibilities too, in order to create the most beautiful and awe-inspiring journey that the miracle of life has to offer. Working with Jessica to assist you in your home birth or water birth, you will never be disappointed. Jessica services the Orange County and Los Angeles County for home births, vbac, and water births as a midwife.

Susy's help after our first baby girl was born has been priceless. With her help, advice, and encouragement I was able to breastfeed my baby for 20 months though at the beginning I thought I would not make it at all! Her professional knowledge and support in good and hard times made our days as new parents much brighter not to mention restful as our baby was in great hands throughout the night. I cannot recommend her enough!

As a Filipina American raised in an immigrant family, I am keenly aware of how cultural identity can shape one’s experiences and beliefs. As a parent of young children myself, I can fully appreciate the challenges that come with raising a family, integrating two cultures and developing a parenting approach that reflects those bicultural values. In therapy, I use a strength-based approach, drawing tools from different types of therapy.

As the founder of MamaBPT and mother of two girls, I have increasingly become passionate towards helping women through physical therapy. I started my career working with the general public in orthopedics and sports recovery. However, soon after I gave birth to my first daughter, I became interested in pelvic health physical therapy. Through my own recovery and specialized training, I learned to help other women achieve their pelvic health and overall physical goals.

Dr Joy is amazing. She’s caring and attentive. I started seeing her during my 4th pregnancy and have continued seeing her postpartum. She has helped me immensely and I recommend her to every pregnant or postpartum mama!

Recent review

Nikki is incredible! I met her when I was into my third trimester with my first. She was kind, knowledgeable, and hilarious. We trained together in preparation for labor, birth, and postpartum recovery. It wasn’t just about physical strength, endurance, and control, but mental endurance and also down-regulation during times of stress. I also had the opportunity to train with her during my fourth trimester to help heal my pelvic floor and diastasis. Having a safe space for new moms and their babes was such a blessing. I can’t wait for Round 2!!
