Domino Kirke-Badgley

Domino Kirke-Badgley is the co-founder of Carriage House Birth, founder of The Doula’s Doula, a seasoned full spectrum doula, and childbirth educator. Domino is a trained musician, but after the birth of her first child, she decided that performing had to take a back seat. She's the mother of two children, 13 years apart, and the godmother to many! Domino is also the co-founder of Grand Street Healing Project, a community run Healing Arts space located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Domino resides in both NYC and New Paltz with her husband, two children and two dogs. When she’s not teaching, or supporting families; you can find her learning how to cook, growing food or writing songs.

Lindsey Bliss

Lindsey is considered to be a multiples expert after giving birth to two consecutive sets of twins. She is the author of The Doula’s Guide to Empowering Your Birth.

Testimonials

"I really love having a weekly touch base - it makes me feel like I am part of a community and not alone on what can otherwise be a pretty lonely journey. I am also learning a ton, which makes me feel a little bit more prepared/capable for labor/birth." - Elana

"The support group has been wonderful. ❤️" - Katie

"I have so much appreciation for Carriage House! I’ve been attending the pregnancy support group for 12 weeks now and plan to continue with the next session. The community holding has meant so much to me during my pregnancy. Domino is lovely, and she’s truly gifted at creating a warm, welcoming, and supportive community environment. She was also the teacher for the child birth education class my husband and I attended in New Paltz, which was excellent! I’m so grateful to have found Carriage House during my pregnancy." - Olivia
