About us

Joy Kraynak is Joyful Birth Services in Richmond, VA. In 2011, after numerous signs from the universe, she was called to attend a HypnoBirthing Practitioner training. At this training, it became clear that her life up until that point had been preparing her to do this work - this fascinating, challenging, exciting, life-affirming work that she loves. The way we birth reverberates through our society and Joy is overflowing with gratitude for each and every family that allows her a role in their birth experience. Over the years, she has worked with hundreds of families in and around Richmond, VA, and her passion is teaching families how to prepare for the birth experience that they desire. Joy is continuously learning and adjusting her services in order to best utilize her talents to serve the community. In addition to HypnoBirthing, she currently offers acupressure, labor support, birth photography, hypnosis, and other birth and parenting classes. Contact Joy today with any questions regarding birth or her services.
