Hallie Dedrick, CLD, CHBE
Hallie realized she had a strong desire to work with pregnant women after the birth of her daughter in January 2007. Through her personal experience, she learned the importance of having knowledge about pregnancy, labor and birth, and the value of a positive support system.

She also has a love for helping fathers/partners become involved on their comfort level, creating memories and strengthening family bonds. She has experience with birth in hospitals, birth centers, and homebirths. Hallie lives in central Pinellas County along with her husband, their two daughters- Reaghan & Myra, and their two corgis. She has a love for music, dogs, movies and spending time with family and friends. |

Nickole Dominie, Labor Doula A very good friend of mine asked me to be there when her baby was to be born since her husband was being deployed. I was so honored. Being there at her birth, helping and nurturing, changed the direction of my life. I thought to myself, there is no reason why I couldn't do this for her or any other woman who needed me. I knew instantly I was to be a doula. I feel very strongly that this is the path I am to travel. I am looking forward to becoming a certified birth doula with CAPPA and helping as many women, along with their families, experience birth the way they envision it. Also, I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am very happily married to my wonderful husband, Jamie. We have 3 children. I have given girth to two beautiful boys, Chris (20) and Rocco (14). My husband has a lovely daughter, Jessica (10) whom I absolutely adore. |
