ABOUT

Rebecca is a certified Postpartum Doula, Plant Medicine Advocate, and Maternal Educator

Raised on the coast of Long Island, N.Y. she is the eldest of four and learned at a young age how to care for babies. Her Mother, one of ten, carries a strong maternal lineage of nurturer and caretaker. Rebecca has acquired many traits from her mother, who was her doula during her own initiation as Mother.

In the winter of 2012, Rebecca had her son at the age of 20 years old. This painstakingly beautiful experience of becoming a mother at a young age, influenced her life-long passion in childbirth and rites of passage for women, ancestral mythos, wellness and traditional healing. Following these pathways led to many realizations, and discoveries in which women’s innate power is at the center of it.

Rebecca moved to the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina in 2013 where she was introduced to herbalism, plant spirit medicine and alternative therapies. Since then, has been weaving webs with many leaders in her community including various teachers, peers, and elders who have continued to feed her heart’s longing which is grounded in women’s empowerment, specifically through the childbirth continuum.

This is a natural calling where Rebecca is most inspired. She is trained in postpartum adjustment, newborn care, lactation, birth story processing, pregnancy loss and integration, accommodating survivors of sexual trauma and promoting parent-infant bonding.

Currently, Rebecca is studying the art of aquatic therapy to incorporate water rebirthing ceremonies into her offerings.

FAQ

Are you a licensed practitioner, coach or therapist?

No. I am not a licensed practitioner, coach or therapist. I do not make decisions for mothers, nor do I perform medical procedures or prescribe anything. I am simply a woman who supports women in pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

As an intuitive empath, I will use my skills to create a container where you can tune into your own wisdom and innate knowledge as I guide you through the map of healing and integration as it pertains to prenatal and maternal matters.

Where are you located? What is your service range?

I am nestled in the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Almost all of my services are virtual, except the in home postpartum care, which is localized to my community here in Appalachia.

If you are not located nearby and in need of help, please reach out and I can accomadate and/or refer you to another doula or practitioner that is most aligned.
