Dontea’ specializes in supporting melenated women as they re-establish their self-identities, often after leaving abusive or toxic relationships.

Dontea’ then teaches clients how to do away with these feelings and instead replace them with confident, self-compassionate emotions. Her goal is to help clients reclaim their lives and find their voice.
