Birth Doula
As your doula I will provide continuous emotional, physical, and mental support throughout your labor. I would love to connect with you for a consultation. The consultation is an opportunity for us to become acquainted. During this first meeting, you will be able to gain insight into my birthing philosophy and communicate your expectations for a doula. Like any relationship, the doula-client relationship should include compatibility, as it is vital to build a positive relationship that contributes to the ideal environment for welcoming your baby into the world. *Ask me about my sliding scale birth fee. Everyone deserves support, money should not be an interference.

Dominique played a huge part in making my birth experience beautiful, even though I did not get to stick with my birth plan due to complications. She helped me with different methods to get my body ready for birth, even before I was actually in labor. She was always just a text away, and offered plenty of encouragement and advice. During labor, she implemented a lot of different methods, and I felt very confident due to her expertise. She also offered practical help in the way of counter-pressure during contractions, and making sure I stayed hydrated. She not only supported me, but she supported my husband and my other support person who was in the room with us. Dominique is a wonderful, calming, caring person to have with you during this special time as you are bringing a new life into the world.

Support before birth, during & after is so helpful. Dominique got me through all of mines. I highly recommend anyone to have her as their doula. The support that she has makes you feel not alone, helps you stay strong, to stay positive. I don't know what I would do without her support mentally & physically. When you feel like it's overwhelming she has the patience to help you get through it all.

Dominique is a wonderfully friendly, calm, and kind woman. She was my doula for my last birth. Even though my labor was very fast, I was glad that she was there to give kind words of support to both my husband and myself. She helped to offer comfort when I was feeling nervous and was a wonderful presence in the room as I went through transition and pushing. She never pushed me to make or not make certain choices in labor and respected all my labor choices. Our meetings were always pleasant and happy. I would definitely recommend her!
