Post a testimonial for Gaynell Dodds RN
7/11/2026
My name is Jamisha Mulder, and I want to share my experience with Gaynell, who supported me through one of the most difficult and emotional moments of my life—my abortion.
From the very beginning, Gaynell was there for me with warmth, professionalism, and a depth of care I didn’t know I needed. She never judged or rushed me, and I never felt alone. Instead, she created a space where I felt safe to share my fears, grief, and uncertainty. She listened patiently, spoke gently, and guided me with the steady reassurance that only someone truly gifted in this work can provide.
Throughout the process, she helped me understand what to expect physically and emotionally, and she checked on me afterward to make sure I was healing—not just my body, but my mind and spirit too. Her support helped me move through my experience with dignity and confidence. I felt seen, respected, and genuinely cared for every step of the way.
I am deeply grateful for her presence during that time. She didn’t just provide care; she offered comfort, clarity, and strength. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone navigating a sensitive reproductive-health decision. Her compassion is genuine, her knowledge is exceptional, and her heart is truly in this work.
