Joy's births...
Rebecca has been my doula for labor twice and for post partum 3 times. I've worked with others in the past, but no one compares to Rebecca. She's intuitive, helpful, sympathetic and exactly what I needed when I was in labor and recovery.
A word from a husband/father...
Rebecca helped me to NOT feel powerless as a first time father. I began with the belief that there wasn't much I could do, but I was surprised to find that there were actually plenty of things I could do in a support role as Rebecca directed me. I got to play a dynamic role in the birth of my first child in the incredible way that I think few fathers know is even available. Levi H.
Angela's Story
Rebecca served as my doula and my back up doula for my fourth and fifth pregnancies and births. During her care, I received knowledgeable and empathetic support. She is well-versed in birth preparation, nutrition, and soul care. During birth prep she came to my house to teach Spinning Babies techniques and stretches and helped my husband prepare to support me. During birth she was a faithful, prayerful presence. She knew when to be quiet and when to speak up, and she provided helpful reprieve for my husband. She took it upon herself to take photos when labor did not require her help. She worked well with the rest of my birth team. For our fifth birth we had a transfer from a birth center to the hospital and Rebecca came along and supported me, as my other friend at the time was tired from the long evening. She was good emotional help through my c section and afterward. I would recommend her to any mother who desires a natural birth in any setting, who wants to be heard and felt prioritized, and especially to one who desires to bring her Christian faith into her birth experience.
VBAC
Healing from Birth Trauma
Rebecca was my doula for my VBAC water birth. She helped turn my baby from breech with exercises and massage. She was an unbelievable help throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. Her encouraging words of strength and hope helped me feel like I could make it through each contraction. She held my hand and said the most profound words during the transition and through the pushing. Her knowledge, experience, and intuition are more than you could ever hope for in birth. Because of her, my VBAC water birth was a dream made reality and she brought healing to my traumatic previous experience with birth. There aren't enough words to express my gratitude for this beautiful lady. I will never forget how she helped me. The birth she was doula for me is still one of my most favorite life experiences! Thank you Rebecca!

To whom it may concern:
Rebecca Dundore attended my home birth/freebirth in March of 2021 as a doula. Her presence and support were pivotal in my labor. She created an environment of love, intuitive emotional support, and practical, hands-on assistance that, had I gone without, probably would have lead to trip to the hospital and an emergency c-section. I am incredibly thankful for her.
I am excited to see Rebecca pursue assisting more woman birth, and I think that the skills, education, and heart that she brings to the table will aide and empower many women greatly as she helps them bring their children forth.
Sincerely,
Kayla H.
