  • Structured routines that scale for two or three infants

  • Hands-on demonstration of care techniques
  • Q&A and troubleshooting throughout the engagement
  • Transition planning for the end of the engagement period

Digestive Comfort Management

Colic, reflux, and feeding discomfort can be among the most distressing challenges for new families. Joy applies 27 years of experience to identify, address, and manage these issues with compassion and skill.

  • Assessment of feeding-related discomfort
  • Positioning, pacing, and technique adjustments
  • Coordination with your pediatrician when appropriate
  • Parent guidance for managing symptoms between feeds

How Engagements Work

Joy works exclusively with one family per engagement. Engagements typically run from two to six months depending on the family's needs. She is available for both local and travel-based engagements across the United States and internationally. All engagements begin with a private consultation to assess fit, discuss needs, and confirm availability. Joy books in advance — often months before a due date — and availability cannot be guaranteed without early inquiry.

Joy's calendar fills months before due dates. If you are expecting and considering specialist newborn care, we strongly encourage you to reach out now.
