Joy Batchelder Birth Doula in Swedesboro, NJ
About Joy
My name is Joy. I am a mother to three sweet kids, one fur baby and wife to my husband, Joey. I am an ECC Veterinary Technician turned Doula and so excited for this new chapter. I am a caretaker, supporter and encourager by nature. I grew up as the oldest of four children, always the caretaker and mini mother. Helping people is where I have always thrived and felt most at home. I am now using these God given gifts to support women during what can be one of the most vulnerable, emotional, and impactful times of their life.
