Doula Destiny

Practice overview

Hi! My name is Donessa, and I'm a birth and postpartum doula currently serving clients in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I became interested in doula care after completing a degree in Health & Human Biology and deciding that I want to become an OB/GYN. After completing my training in February 2022, I relocated to New York City and began serving clients here. Through my package, I hope to promote physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being as you navigate your birthing journey.

Care philosophy

As a young Black woman and birth worker, I've fallen in love with birth despite the fact that much of what we see in the United States teaches us to fear it. My goal as your doula is to provide you and your family with education, preparation, and ost importantly, choice, as you nevigate your pregnancy and birthing journey.
