The Birth Interview Project is leaving the nest and saying good-bye to the home it grew up in. It’s time for this little project of mine to have its own dot com. This is an exciting step in the life of this endeavor. Started just seven months ago, The Birth Interview Project is now alive and well; I might even say it’s thriving! Thank you all for your support and participation. Take a moment and stop by the new place at thebirthinterviewproject.com and let me know how you like it.

I am Joy, a happily married mother of two waterbirthed babies. I am a doula and a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, who worked as a midwife's assistant at a freestanding birth center in TX. As of 2015, I'm a full-time nursing student who teaches childbirth classes at Park Ridge Health, The Baby Place, in Hendersonville, NC. I love serving laboring moms and I enjoy teaching birth education. I use this blog to write about it all - my life, my children, and my passion of all things childbirth.
