Meet The Team of Doulas
Rebecca Skillman
Certified Birth Doula
Rebecca is a homeschooling mom of 6, living in Beulaville, building a wanna-be homestead with her husband Steven.
Through her own seven pregnancies, she found herself growing very passionate about childbirth. She began working on her certification as a doula during the pregnancy of her 6th child and dived into birthwork, plugging herself into the birth professional community of Eastern NC. She volunteered free childbirth education to Duplin County starting in 2022.
Since then, she has envisioned opening a Pregnancy & Postpartum Resource Center for Duplin County, a place where moms can receive free education & support. Once Medicaid began covering Doula Support in 2023, she worked fast to become a contracted provider.
She reached out to Duplin County's long-established birthworker, Jessica Thomas and in June 2024, The Duplin Doulas was born.
Rebecca hopes that through The Duplin Doulas she can be a part of something big in changing birth & postpartum outcomes for women here in Eastern NC!
