“I have been a client of Dominique’s PeriWink for just over a month and I am amazed at the results I can already see and feel. I have lost weight and toned up incredibly. My stomach and upper arms which I had accepted were forever going to be wobbly have amazing definition and all my clothes sit more comfortably than they have in a long time.

More than this, I am starting to feel like myself again for the first time in 4 years. I stumbled into perimenopause and it was a long time before I realized exactly where I was. Working with Dominique, I have a greater understanding of what is going on and why. The fitness and nutrition program have meant that for the first time in 4 years I have energy and real enthusiasm for what is happening in my life and a new found confidence in the future.”

“Dominique is one of those people who lives and breathes what she teaches others. She has really helped me to stay sane through perimenopause. Her knowledge of diet options, herbal and vitamin supplements and exercises that can support my journey have been priceless. She’s a woman’s woman… someone that you know is never judging, only supporting and meeting you exactly where you are. She helps from an honest and caring place. Dominique is the real deal.”

“Dominique is starting a revolution for women over 40. You can be sexy, strong, and resilient at any age. Sweat, self care, strength training, dance breaks, and fresh air will transform your well being and self confidence. Dominique embodies all of this. Major #girlcrush.”

“Due to hormonal changes with perimenopause, it is much easier for me to put on fat and much harder for me to take it off than I used to. I was very discouraged because what I used to do wasn’t working anymore. Dominique helped me realize that I had to change with my body.It’s not about dieting at all. It’s about celebrating the body you’re in and feeding your energy. I did lose the weight, but Dominique reminded me that that’s not the point at all. She encouraged me to be body positive and to take care of myself with love.”

“Dominique helped me unlock my strength journey at the age of 41! Weight lifting always looked intimidating and technical. Dom made it fun and empowering! Now four years later I can’t stop picking up heavy things and putting them back down. My kids love knowing mom is strong! Dominique listens to her clients, motivates them, and keeps things fresh!”

“Training with Dominique is the best investment of both time and money that I’ve made in years. I am so impressed with her expertise, experience, and excellence in teaching. She helped me better define goals for myself; listened so well and was able to help me address nagging aches and pains; is motivating and encouraging; and exudes such positive energy. I am so grateful for you, Dominique! Thank you for your wisdom and guidance as I navigate into the next 40some years of fitness and good health! “

“I have worked with Dominique for more than a year. She innately knows how to challenge me without injury, working around my sore spots or issues. She pushes me without pressuring me, always insisting on perfect form. I did pull-ups, at age 64, for the first time in my life!”

“I started working with Dominique 6 months after the birth of my second child. She was amazing at listening and organizing our workouts to fit my needs. She helped me reclaim my physical strength and sense of self during a emotionally fragile time. Dominique’s enthusiasm for living and sharing of knowledge has made a huge impact on my life”

“I’ve known Dominique for years through participating in Strong (Wo)man & working out at the same gym. When I became pregnant recently for the 1st time, Dominique took me on as one of her virtual clients. Training with her has been great and an experience like none other. Her close attention to detail, patience and expertise in various areas such as prenatal fitness training puts her above the rest.”

“Dominique is the girl power fitness teacher you need in Charlotesville! She’s incredibly knowledgeable and always has a new routine for us to try. I never get bored. Plus her compassionate heart make her a true motivating factor.”

“I had a very specific professional goal to go from 0 to 6 pull-ups for an upcoming promotion. With Dominique’s encouragement, I committed to the plan, and ended up completing 8 pull-ups during my physical fitness test, 60 days of working with her. She quieted my negative self-talk and paved the way for success.”

“Dominique has been my personal trainer for close to a year. I work with her because she helps me build strength and endurance through dynamic movements, strength training, all the while supporting flexibility, a great mindset and a healthy balance. She is currently helping me recover after a knee surgery due to torn meniscus from a Spartan Race. While I was severely limited and on crutches we continued to train and build strength with adaptive and creative sessions. As a working mom of two, she is my sanity in the week and that time just for me. Love her!”

“Virtually training with Dominique post abdominal surgery has made me feel stronger, sexier, more confident with my new body! She knows the female body, just how hard to push me using equipment I have lying around the house!”

“Dominique is a fantastic trainer! I love her innate ability to customize her knowledge and experience for the betterment of my overall well-being. It’s not every day that you find someone whose practice centers around your life’s quality and longevity.”

“I trained with Dominique in my early years of finding weight training. She introduced me to Strong (Wo)man training and coached me through my first novice competition where I placed first in my weight class. Her practices, mantras and spirit STILL influence my training today in every way. I cannot stress enough how critical and impactful her coaching style is for everyone, but especially women looking to find their inner power.”

“Dominique’s breadth of knowledge and relatable experiences enables her to provide extremely applicable and directed advice. She helped me strengthen and recover range of motion in areas that were damaged during child birth and also helped me get back into power lifting after a 14 year hiatus.”
