About Us
Hello,
Thank you for checking our web site.
My name is Joyce Maxwell-Downs C.N.N. & C.L.D.
As a certified naturopathic nutritionist and a certified labor doula,
my goal is to help healthy moms have healthy babies.
The doula advantage
A doula is a professional who provides emotional, physical, informational, and practical support for the expectant, laboring mother. The word doula, comes from the Greek translation meaning woman's servant.
I am a certified labor doula, helping you cope with labor pains and providing means of you having a pleasant birth experience. Since my background is natural medicine, I prefer you to bring this wonderful new life into the world as natural as possible. But, as we all know, sometimes our best plans may change. My service will help you relax, feel confident, provide massages, and assist with laboring and pushing positions.
My service will also help the father participate in the birth to the extent he feels comfortable. I am at your side from the start of labor till about an hour or so after labor. At the point you are comfortable and secure. My passion is to help mothers enjoy birthing as natural as possible.
Blessings, Joyce
