My name is Dominique Clothiaux and I am a Licensed Midwife & Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist & Licensed Massage Therapist. I founded Birth & Biodynamic Midwifery in 2019.
Biodynamic Midwifery is about allowing the biological and physiological blueprint of birth to unfold without interference or intervention. My specialty is to facilitate well-being.
I have attended nearly 500 births and taken care of over a thousand moms and babies. I specialize in optomizing health in the childbearing year. I have have attended birth since 2008. Through my work I hope to protect the sanctity of physiological birth and to help foster the understanding and importance about the Primal Health Period. The best prenatal care includes one that addressed both the physical and emotional well being of the mother.
I am a Licensed Midwife by the Virginia Board of Medicine & a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) with the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM). I completed a formal study program in midwifery through the Academy of Experiential Midwifery Education followed by a series of clinical apprenticeship with 10 amazing senior midwives and an Osteopathic Physician over a 5 year period.
Other certifications I keep up with are: Registered Craniosacral Therapist® with the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America, Approved Continuing Education Provider with the National Certification Board of Massage and Bodywork, Pre and Perinatal Birth Educator through The Kutenai Institute of Integral Therapies, Virginia State Licensed Massage Therapist, Neonatal Resuscitation Provider
Outside of Midwifery Care, I offer Manual Therapy to release deep tensions around the central nervous system.
