MEET REBECCA

A little about rebecca

I have a wonderful doula partner named Rebecca Cordes. We work closely together, meaning we will both attend your first and second prenatals, and be each other’s backups should your labor exceed 12 hours. We feel that in partnering up, our clients reap the benefits of having two birth professionals for the price of one, while also ensuring they have a well-rested, fully present doula by their side at all times.

Rebecca is a skilled, deeply compassionate, wildly intelligent person with a huge heart for birthing folks and new families. She has worked as a postpartum doula, is a certified prenatal yoga instructor, and is currently working towards certifying as an IBCLC (lactation consultant). Any family would be lucky to have her kind spirit and expertise by their side. But enough from me! Here are a few words from Rebecca herself:

I was first drawn to this work in college – I was studying the history of medicine at the time, and looking for some way I could write about women and their relationship to the medical industry, so I decided to focus my thesis on the history of childbirth in the United States. This was a transformative time in my life, and I became completely wrapped up in the world of birth. In my research, I read so many accounts of women feeling uninformed and like they didn’t have any agency in their birth or postpartum healing process. I felt a strong call to turn my academic passion into my life's work, and decided to become a doula. I want to help women understand that there is no right or wrong way to have a baby – it is truly an individual process, and the most important thing is that they understand their options.
