Hi, I’m Kaleem Joy, and I’m so grateful you’re here
My purpose is to be a light, a beacon of truth, clarity and transformation for your journey. To support you in awareness of your own inner strength and power. Our classes, consulting, or coaching will empower you by awakening, igniting and growing the seeds of your own greatness because that is exactly what your baby is doing right now. Through education and applying what you learn into your life, a whole new world of possibilities will open up to expand your health and wellness.
Having seen the stark difference between medical and holistic care after becoming a nurse in 1979 and attending a friends homebirth, I found myself seeking the midwifery route and becoming a Licensed Midwife in California in 1998. Being a midwife for nearly 30 years now has been a joy, an incredible sense of gratitude and an ever advancing desire to serve women and their babies. To increase confidence, courage and foster a sense of calmness. To encourage ownership for the unique journey. Providing key life skills to increase their health and wellbeing while transforming their lives.
I Believe You Are Strong, Amazing and Powerful!
Each experience as a midwife, reinforced my belief in the power of education and ownership—two key elements in achieving a positive, complication-free birth.
In 2020, I launched Natural Childbirth 101 to share the wisdom and knowledge we used in our own practice to make midwifery care education available to every woman no matter where or with whom she planned to birth. This program covers the five essential areas of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and heart-centered preparation, ensuring you have the tools to create your best experience. After all, this is your baby's only birth.
Now, as an parent and student midwife educator, parent-to-be transformational coach, and TEDx Global Speaker, podcast guest speaker, my greatest joy is helping people ignite the spark of greatness within themselves. Whether you’re preparing for childbirth or embarking on a new life journey, I’m here to guide you toward empowerment and transformation through coaching sessions.
In my free time, you'll find me kayaking, hiking, or mentoring student midwives, or playing with one of our 29 grandkids. Life is an adventure, and I’m excited to share this part of it with you!
