Dè really helped me understand the process of childbirth and to be open to the experience and prepared for every situation/outcome that childbirth can bring. She was realistic with me, answered all my questions and never made me feel silly about what I deemed a stupid question. Having a doula like Dè made me feel more confident about giving birth as well as breastfeeding and everything that comes with postpartum/4th trimester. I am really grateful to have her support and guidance.

Very supportive and communicative. She was really helpful and has good energy /vibe. She was by my side through the whole labor and made everything more easier for me.

DeJunique is a wonderful doula. She gave me some great information to help me prepare for my birth. When I called her at midnight to let her know I was in labor and needed her to come to the hospital she did not hesitate to get there as quickly as she could. She supported me throughout the laboring time which I am thankful for because my husband also needed that helping hand. I am so grateful that I was able to have a doula with this second pregnancy. Labor was a little more rough the second time around but DeJunique was very calm and her energy helped balance mine out.
She also comes to help with the baby after the birth. She will come to your house and watch the baby while you get rest or get other things done or she will help do the household duties while you take care of the baby. I will most definitely recommend DeJunique if you are searching for a doula. She's great!

first i want to start off with how much i apperciate ms.brown for taking me on such short notice.
The stress and pressure i was under before working with her was giving me anxity but when she contacted me and we did our interview i just new she was the perfect match for me and my family. She is so easy to talk to and such a great support system. She really takes the time to know her clients and to bond with them. She takes pride in her job and care in her clients and family.
She gives great advice when you have questions and arent sure of whats going on with your body during pregnancy . She gives you hope when you feel like giving up and she gives great motivation. I am honestly so greatful we get to work with her and so thankful for the program for having her.
She really came through during my delievery and not only made sure that i was well rested but my partner as well and she made sure we were treated with proper care.. during my delievery i was unable to go to my provider due to them not having rooms available . That scared me having to go to a hospital that knew nothing of my pregnancy or health but ms.brown made me feel safe and protected at her hands. And gave us security that everything would be fine..
Thank you for being who you are and for doing such an amazing job . I highly reccomend her for everyone she definetly knows how to connect and earn trust with clients and i give her 1000 percent credit for being absolutly amazing .. everyone needs some one like ms.brown.

De'Junique was wonderful! She allowed me to feel so prepared for my delivery. She is warm and funny and brings a broad range of experience. I loved getting to plan and prep with her. It made the birth experience more enjoyable and less scary.

I met De towards the end of my pregnancy. Immediately she was able to assure me that she would be there. She was quick, knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions I had. I was a couple of weeks early and was not completely mentally prepared to go through labor. I really thought I had more time. With minutes of De showing up I immediately felt safe and supported. Locking eyes with De during labor truly allowed me to dig deep and keep going. With ease she matched my energy and knew what I needed to hear. Can't thank her enough for contributing to an experience I will never forget. Team De!

I enjoyed working with DeJunique! While I was pregnant, she helped us learn about what to expect for labor and birth in general, as well as how she would help us during them. Her involvement really helped with some of the anxiety I had around the whole process. I felt like the tips and knowledge that she shared in our meetings before the birth were great. It was definitely a blessing to have someone in the room during labor who both understood my preferences and understood labor and how to work with the hospital staff. Postpartum, her support of me and my baby as we got used to home life were invaluable both in terms of an occasional little break from the demands of a newborn (absolutely wonderful to have access to a known and trusted caregiver, even for just a few hours), and in terms of support as we started our breastfeeding journey.

Hi! I loved my birthing experience with Doula De. Before I went into labor she gave me articles and sent me links to videos to help me prepare for my birth, when I went into labor she helped me through each contraction, massaging my feet and back helping me breathe and comforting me. Even down to me having a C-section she was in the room with me cheering me on! My birthing experience felt more at ease with her there. After my birth Doula de remains in contact with me, and checks on me and the baby. She's an amazing Dula. 10/10.

I truly enjoyed the time that I was able to utilize with Dè! She was awesome! She made sure that I was well informed throughout the time I had with her and when she came in person, she made sure to help out even with no instructions to do so. Always went above and beyond my expectations & always made us feel loved & cared for. My only complaint was not getting to utilize her longer!

If you know any black women that are pregnant or breastfeeding I recommend De'Junique Brown. De has genuinely been a life saver for us and our (almost) 1 month old. She helps out so much and is very knowledgeable about everything you need to know. There’s been a couple times where the hospital didn’t inform us properly on what to do or how to do things, but luckily we had De to ask for answers. She was also very helpful during labor, being with us for New Year’s Eve . Also, being a black women, the health care system isn’t on my side. She was there to advocate for me, always there to answer questions (day or night). De brings a uplifting energy that makes you want to smile. Me and my boyfriend are grateful for everything she’s done. This is also my first child. It can often feel like crazy and nothing going right, but De is always there to remind me to keep trying.
