Dominika Fuskova
A little bit about me…. I was born in Czechoslovakia and made Canberra my home in 2011. I have a Bachelor Degree in Pedagogy and a Diploma in Children’s Services, and I currently work fulltime at Montessori Day-care. Children are my passion and studying to be a Doula provides me with another tool to support families as they embark on their beautiful journey into parenthood. As a Doula with a different cultural background, I would love to support women from my home country and/or those where English is their second language. I am a very active and lively person, however I am also grounded and present in stillness. It would be my honour to be your Doula.
