How We Make Impact
Testimonial
“Dominique was responsive and extrememly respectful, making me feel heard and safe. She advocated for me as needed before, during and after birth. She was a true support and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a doula. Thank you so much, Dominique, for being an instrumental part of my journey into motherhood round two!”
Testimonial
“My experience with Dominique as my Doula was not only helpful, but extremely healing. She provided not only resources, but genuine support from the inside out - which played a role in my willingness and ability to have a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesaraen). Despite being told I only had a 38% success rate due to my age and weight, the support from Dominique made all the difference.”
