Joy Acosta Birth Doula in San Diego, CA
About Joy
*I may not see messages from this website, please reach out to me through my email, thank you! JoyWaveBirthServices@gmail.com Hey there, I'm Joy! I believe that childbirth is the closest thing we have to actual magic on this planet, and it's such a shame to me that we seem to be forgetting how amazing it can be. At the same time I also believe that there's no wrong way to give birth. From unmedicated home births to scheduled C-sections I want to be there for you to make sure you feel solid in your choice. I'm very LGBTQ friendly and I respect all religious beliefs and lack there of. Feel free to reach out to me for any reason, even just to chat about your general fears and anxieties surrounding birth. I would love to hear from you :) I have completed training with a DONA certified class and I am an active Operation Doula volunteer helping military families free of charge.

Complete Birth Support
We’ll begin with an initial meeting to talk about your birth plan. If you’re not sure what that looks like yet, we’ll figure it out together. We’ll have monthly check-ins until the month before your due date, followed by weekly check-ins. You’ll also have full access to call or text me throughout the entire process. When you go into labor, I’ll arrive at your home and support your emotional and physical needs before accompanying you to the hospital. I’ll stay with you until one hour after you meet your baby. We’ll meet again a few days after birth and once more around two weeks later to make sure everything is going smoothly.
What to expect
I offer both physical and mental birth support. I do home birth, birth center, and hospital births. I specialize in relieving anxiety and encouraging a faster labor progression by helping you feel safe and relaxed. I charge a flat rate of $1,500 but I'm happy to work with your budget.
