Rebecca S. in Dallas, TX

As a former hospice worker, I became interested in supporting families in the "other" side of the circle of life. After training with DONA, I started working with families in Brooklyn in 2013. I practiced all over NYC through 2017 before relocating. While my most recent birth was in 2017 and I am learning about Dallas facilities, I both worked at UT Southwestern for a year and went through my own birth experience at Baylor in 2019. Because of these experiences, I am full of referrals to high-quality providers with whom I worked directly. Today, I focus on mindful birthing and postpartum coaching. I'm an especially good match for someone with a trauma history or anxiety. Through an initial consultation, I can introduce you to my approach. In subsequent visits, we'll go through a full program of preparing you for matrescence or, if you just need help postpartum, we'll tailor my services to the areas of greatest need. I can help you inventory and plan or we can adapt once you begin the journey and understand more of what you need. You can think of me as a coach - we'll discover together what is most important to you and design an appropriate approach for you and your family.
