Dominique Edwards - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Dominique

Hello! My name is Dominique Edwards, and I am a passionate Full Spectrum Doula, United States Army Veteran, Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), certified Mental Health First Aider, and proud founder of The Cheniah 22 Project LLC. With 13 years of military service and experience supporting 20 births, I bring a unique combination of compassion, professionalism, advocacy, and calmness under pressure to every birthing experience. My background in healthcare, emergency medical services, and mental health support allows me to provide trauma-informed, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive care. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel safe, respected, informed, and empowered throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum recovery. I wholeheartedly welcome families of all backgrounds, cultures, identities, sexual orientations, and family structures. Whether you are a first-time parent, an experienced parent, a single parent, part of an LGBTQ+ family, or navigating a high-risk pregnancy, my goal is to provide a supportive, judgment-free environment where your voice and choices always matter. I am committed to offering compassionate emotional, physical, and educational support while honoring your individual birth preferences and experiences. As your doula, I strive to be a steady presence, a trusted advocate, and a meaningful part of your support system. My philosophy is simple: Every birth matters. Every voice deserves to be heard. Every family deserves a village. It would be an honor to be part of yours. 💜

Frequently asked questions

When should I book a doula?

I recommend booking as early in your pregnancy as possible to allow time for us to build a trusting relationship, discuss your birth preferences, and prepare for your baby's arrival. However, I also welcome families who are further along in their pregnancy, depending on availability. Every family deserves compassionate support, no matter when they begin their journey.

Do you offer sliding-scale pricing or payment plans?

Absolutely! Through A Place in the Village™, I offer sliding-scale pricing for qualifying families because financial circumstances should not prevent access to compassionate birth and postpartum support. Flexible payment plans are also available. We can discuss your family's needs and explore an affordable option that works for you.

What services are included in your birth doula packages?

My birth doula services include prenatal education, personalized birth planning, emotional and physical support, labor comfort techniques, continuous labor support, and postpartum guidance. I support medicated, unmedicated, and cesarean births. Specific services vary by package, and we will review your selected package together before booking.

What postpartum services do you offer, and what is your availability?

Through Maison Cheniah, I offer daytime postpartum support, newborn care education, recovery assistance, emotional support, and family resource navigation. Postpartum services are available up to three days per week, depending on my schedule. All appointments are arranged in advance, with a two-hour minimum per visit.

Do you support LGBTQ+ families, single parents, veterans, and families from diverse backgrounds?

Absolutely! I proudly welcome and support all families, regardless of race, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, relationship status, or family structure. As a U.S. Army Veteran and Full Spectrum Doula, I am committed to providing inclusive, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and judgment-free care. Your family, your choices, and your birth experience deserve to be honored and respected.
