Bio

Rebekah is mother to 10 children, birth activist, doula, and childbirth educator. She is the owner of Blissful Birthing TN and has been the co-leader of Nashville BirthNetwork for 4 years. She has worked hard to change the birth culture in Nashville by educating doulas, improving birth and baby loss care in the local hospitals, organizing Empower Your Birth conferences, donating peanut balls to 14 area hospitals, and changing the TN newborn eye ointment law to be more favorable to parents.

She has over 24 years of experience with pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. Rebekah has given birth to 10 living children and 12 angel babies in a variety of settings and states including large and small hospitals and her home. Her care provider choices have ranged from OB's to Midwives (CNM, LM & CPM). Rebekah has gained much insight from personally dealing with complicated pregnancies & miscarriages including preterm labor, months of bedrest, gestational diabetes, antepartum hospitalization, placental abruption, bleeding during the second trimester, low amniotic fluid, IUGR, no thyroid, and breech presentation. Many of her babies were in the NBICU for Hyaline Membrane Disease, Prematurity, Hypoglycemia, Bradycardias, Apnea, Breech, and Respiratory distress. Two of her pregnancies resulted in vaginally born frank breech babies including one in the hospital and one at home!
​
Rebekah became interested in breech support after her own first successful vaginal breech birth in 1996 and since then, has fought hard to advocate for and educate other breech moms. In 2013 Rebekah started using rebozos and fell in love. Since then she has used rebozos to relieve discomfort in pregnancy, help dads be more involved with pregnancy and birth, flip breech babies before labor, and ease labor pains. She strives to advocate for and educate other birth workers and moms to realize the amazing power of the rebozo. In 2015 Rebekah trained as a loss doula through Baby Loss Family Advisors and has since then volunteered many hours to serve families who are going though infant loss.

​She is a church going Christian and loves to serve the Lord through helping people each day. She is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who loves working with families to help protect and remember the sacredness of birth.
