Welcome to Blessed Birth Haven!  My name is Joelia Maldonado.  I am a Christian, first and foremost. My faith guides every aspect of my life, and my goal is to do everything I do with excellence and integrity, as unto Him.  I am also a blessed wife to an amazing husband of 19 years, mother to six beautiful children, a dedicated labor and delivery nurse, and a United States Air Force veteran.

​

With over 14 years of experience as a master's-prepared nurse, I specialize in labor, delivery, and postpartum care. I am passionate about helping women embrace childbirth as a positive and transformative experience. Having personally experienced six unmedicated, natural deliveries—including two home births, three birth center births, and one unexpected, precipitous hospital delivery—I am committed to empowering women to approach birth without fear, trauma, or unnecessary intervention and stress.

​

My mission is to provide women with the tools they need—through comprehensive education, body preparation, and emotional and spiritual support—to have the most empowering and joyful birth experience of their lives. I believe every woman deserves to feel confident and supported during this incredible journey, and I am honored to be part of that process.
