Hi, I’m Kaleem Joy, and I’m so grateful you’re here
My purpose is being a light a beacon of truth, clarity and transformation. Empowering people to awaken, ignite and grow the seeds of greatness within themselves and their children where we can each make a positive impact in our world.
Having seen the stark difference between medical and holistic care while a student nurse, I made a decision to become a midwife and travel the journey to supporting families in a respectful, educated and empowering experience. I have walked with over 1200 families welcoming their babies out of the hospital and educated thousands to claim ownership for their own journey. Each one using key tools to increase their health and wellbeing while transforming their lives.
I Believe You Are Strong, Amazing and Powerful!
Each experience 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 this knowledge with families worldwide. 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 educator, coach, and TEDx 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.
When I’m not teaching, speaking, or podcasting, you’ll find me kayaking, hiking, 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!
