Empowering Moms to birth fearlessly
Hi, Mom, are you ready to have a Well-rounded pregnancy journey?
Prepare your pelvic floor, body, and mind with the knowledge and exercise to have the birth you desire.
About Empowered Pregnancy...
Giving birth is an important time in a woman’s life. What is important is providing her the tools to help her feel confident in the power of her body as she embarks on delivering her baby. Here at Empowered Pregnancy the process is to equip mom with knowledge to prepare for birth, pelvic floor exercise to prepare her body for labor, and breathwork for managing her feelings during labor. The outcome we strive to achieve is to help mom feel empowered and fearless for the birthing experience.
A Doula's role is to provide physical, emotional, and informational support to the birthing person and their family before, during, and after childbirth. Many proven physiological and psychological benefits come into effect when a birthing person feels safe, relaxed, informed, and supported. Doulas are specially trained in the birth process and have the know-how to help make this happen.
An Approach Just for You..
Everyone will have their own unique approach, birth plan, and view; it is very important for you to choose someone whose approach feels right to you.
I will help you work with the sensations of labor and help you lean into the intensity of birth. I do not teach you coping strategies but instead a mental mind frame that helps you hold the space within your body to lean into the sensations and feels of labor. We do this through the "surrendering process"

Breathwork Coaching
During Birth prep sessions and Postpartum care I will teach you the fundamental techniques of relaxation for labor prep and how to rehab your core for postpartum rehab. It is vital the body understands how to breathe to help aid in labor and restoration after baby. We will take our time together to explore what you are feeling from the core, pelvic floor, and overall body so you can feel confident and strong in your motherhood journey.
Pelvic Prep:
Common misconception is many think the pelvic floor muscles push the baby out but instead your uterus does ALL the work. However, your pelvic floor needs proper care to aid in getting out of the way so your baby can smoothly transition. During pelvic prep we will work on relaxation movements to help the pelvic floor know when it needs to relax during the stage of labor, and we will work on movements to help your pelvic floor stay balanced so you can avoid pain through pregnancy and beyond. Exercise is an importnat tool that has helped my clients avoid sciatics, hip pain, low back pain, and leaking.

"The birth prep helped me so much during my labor. Every breath technique that we went over helped me stay relaxed and fearless as baby made his way into my arms."
Candace J.
"The second time around this pregnancy I experienced changes that impacted my back and hips. Dominique's exercise prep sessions helped decrease my pain and uncomfortable feelings my body began to have. My husband even supported me during a session and learned ways partners can support which was beneficial during our labor."
India M.
"The support and information I learned was so valuable since I am a new mom. Knowing the breathwork techniques, preparing my pelvic floor, and practicing what happens to the body during each stage was so empowering!"
