What You'll Find Here
Meet The Founder
Founded by Angelina Keeley, a mother of two with a deep passion for empowering others. She holds a BA from Stanford, an MBA from Yale, is a certified Doula, and was a finalist on CBS’s Survivor.
Inspired by her own journey into motherhood, Angelina envisioned JoyBabe as more than just a space—it’s a reimagining of early parenthood and how new parents are loved and cheered on.
Part studio, part sanctuary, part second home — JoyBabe is that dream come to life.
