Supporting growing families through the
“Oys and Joys” of childbirth and fertility.
Hollie Clark CD(DONA)
Certified Birth Doula
Informed Consent takes center stage in my work as a Doula and that begins with preparing early. By listening to cues of what works for your body, combined with education during prenatal care, we will build a team to deliver great birth support; no matter the setting.
I’m thrilled to announce I’m now supporting CenCal families! If you have CenCal or Medi-Cal as your insurance provider, you are entitled to Doula Services. Check out the CenCal Provider Directory to find an awesome Doula near you!
I of course, also take private pay clients (but lets keep working towards universal healthcare so someday everyone can have a Doula).
Please email me at OysandJoys@gmail.com if you have any questions regarding Doula Services.
Apprentice Midwife
I’m currently a Student Midwife working with local preceptors in SLO County.
My academic studies are being fulfilled through The National College of Midwifery based out of New Mexico. My prerequisites were taken through the Cuesta College Biology Department.
Challenges with Conception
I truly understand how difficult struggles with infertility can be. It’s incredible what some are willing to endure just in the hopes of carrying a healthy little one…
If you’re seeking help with becoming pregnant, or regulating hormones, Kinship Midwifery is offering hormone counseling, and assisted insemination.
Equitable care and education
Oys and Joys Birthwork believes that healthcare is a human right.
Let’s make reproductive health and education accessible to all!
