Testimonial for Dominique Jones
Choosing Dominque as our doula has made a tremendous difference in our experience as first-time parents.
I initially looked into hiring a doula to help during the birth process because I was really nervous about it. Having Dominique there for the birth was extremely helpful, but the experience was so much more than just the birth! During my pregnancy, she gave us so much useful information that we would not have found on our own. She patiently answered all of our questions and provided evidence-based support for her answers. I felt empowered and reassured by this knowledge, and I entered the hospital feeling much more calm and confident than I had expected to be.
At the birth, Dominique was a steadying presence, a constant companion, and a powerful advocate. She reminded me throughout the process to breathe, relax, and hydrate. She helped me into different positions and encouraged me to try natural remedies. At the same time, she was 100% supportive of what I wanted and did not try to push me one way or another as I considered various interventions. After the baby was born, Dominique helped me feed her for the first time and stayed with us until we were settled in the postpartum room.
Perhaps the single most valuable part of working with Dominique has been the ability to ask her questions in the weeks after giving birth. She gave me a pep talk when I was nervous to take the baby home, she took our call late the first night when we were concerned about swaddling properly, she made us a video addressing our diapering issues, she helped me create a schedule to resolve my breastfeeding pain… the list goes on and on. Honestly, I don’t know where we’d be without her. I cannot recommend Dominique enough!
