I was referred to Dominica through a midwife I had reached out to. I’ll admit I was on the fence about hiring a doula, not knowing if I needed one or not. But I’m SO glad I did, and specifically Dominica was AMAZING to work with! This was my first birth and I wasn’t really sure what to expect, feeling a little nervous and unmotivated. But on my first call with Dominica she immediately made me feel a sense of calm and confidence. I knew we’d work well together, so I hired her. We met up a few times and consistently chatted via text, she’s very knowledgeable and was able to help both me and my partner feel more confident going into our baby’s birth day. :) When the day came, we texted up until I went into the hospital, and she arrived once I got into a room. I wanted to have an unmedicated birth, so having a doula there was crucial to help advocate for me. Dominica was there for me during each and every contraction, massaging, helping me breathe through, guiding my partner, or there just to lean on or chat with between the contractions. Her calm energy was exactly what we needed in the room at that time. If you’re on the fence about hiring a doula, I’m telling people now it’s a must! I can’t imagine how I would have gotten through the last trimester and my birth without her knowledge and peaceful energy.

The only 2 reiki sessions I’ve ever had have both been with Dominica and she has definitely exceeded any expectations I had and then some. My first session was in person and it was absolutely wonderful. Just seeing Dominica and being near her instantly made me feel at peace. She has a very soothing, grounding presence that made me feel very safe and taken care of. I have been struggling with deep depression for more than 20 years and am constantly tormented with anxious thoughts. It’s nearly impossible to quiet my mind. I went into the session in this state of mind and physical tension AND also completely open to a new experience. During the session I was amazed that I could physically feel things going on in my body even though she wasn’t actually touching me. It was a very spiritual experience. The scent of the sage she lit, the music playing in the background, and her presence and energy as she moved around me sent me into a trans like state. I came out of that 30 min session feeling like I had done hours worth of meditation / strenuous workout / detox. I was so calm and my mind was quiet! If it would have stopped there I would have been so grateful and beyond satisfied with the experience. However, she wrapped up the session so beautifully which I was deeply grateful for. We talked about the session for a while, which gave me valuable insight into things that came. She helped me understand my chakras and blockages, read some cards, had special treats and made suggestions for beneficial things I could do in the days that followed. Overall I feel my sessions with Dominica have provided me with mind calming, soul nourishing experiences and I’m really looking forward to continuing working with her.

I have had two reiki readings done by Dominica. Both have been incredibly helpful and relaxing. I felt refreshed energetically and she was able to let me know what I needed to do to balance my body better. She made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend her! She is intuitive and very accurate.

Dominica was so helpful, patient and calm throughout my pregnancy and delivery, I am so grateful. When we first had our initial phone call, she gave me information about doulas, what she does and why she became a doula, it gave me insight into the different birthing stories and why it's so important to have someone there talking to the nurses while you are preparing for birth. I would recommend having your partner in that initial call so that they can also feel comfortable with your choice of selecting a doula. In my third trimester, we met a few times and ensured that both my husband and I felt that we were prepared and knew what to do. She helped us understand why a birthing plan is so important and we created one together. We walked through different questions to ask the doctors at my appointments so that we all knew what to expect, learn about how the hospital prepares for birth, understand the pain killers they use in IV vs epidural, etc. She also helped my husband and I practice the different breathing types. During early labor and active labor, they became so helpful! My husband would breathe how I am supposed to and I would mimic him, and it helped me manage my contraction pain, we definitely were so prepared because of her. During labor she was there to ask the nurses questions, advocating for me and made sure that I was all set up. She also taught my husband how to apply counter pressure during my painful contractions and she would do it as well. Her experience was key to make sure I was comfortable. My contractions would have been KILLLER if she wasn’t there. She made sure that I was staying hydrated and had everything I needed, something that both my husband and I would not have known to ask for or to look for. Once baby was coming, she helped make sure that I was breathing in between pushes and constantly looked out for my well being. I highly recommend Dominica, her experience is critical during your third trimester and labor in order to have a beautiful birth and someone constantly looking out for you.
