I became obsessed with all natural, intuitive, and autonomous birth through researching for my own autonomy.
Now I support women and their family’s during their most empowering moment in life; their birth.
Meet Your Doula
Rebecca Van Hulst
Hi! I’m Rebecca. And I’m here to help you. When hiring your doula for your upcoming birth, it is important to know if you both work well together. That is why I want you to know a little bit about me.
I have always been passionate about making effort to help and spoil others when I can. It brings me great joy to gift people treasures I find that remind me of them, or taking care of tasks around their house when they need it most. Knowing that they can find relief from my actions, in ways that honor their personal beliefs, mentalities and practices, warms me in ways that feels contagious. I know I’ll always love catching that feeling again and again. That is how I know becoming a Birth and Postpartum Doula is my calling. Helping others when they need it and how they need it is where I shine brightest.
Though I haven’t always been in the field of birthwork, I have always been the personal assistant to my mentors throughout my design and metalworking days. Together we have built and repaired steel structures, compelling art, and some of the finest luxury houses in the Treasure Valley. Personally, it is imperative for me to be self-sufficient where possible while also being able to enjoy modern day conveniences. Combining methods of ancient traditions with modern day tools is a beautiful concept that I have always loved being able to learn from.
Additionally, I am recently married to the love of my life, Luke! He has been making me laugh and holding me close for over 6 years now. In our spare time, we love hiking the great outdoors, binge watching too many thriller shows, and playing with our social butterfly of a dog, Anya, and two very funny cats, Rick and Ellie. I also teach elementary students how to draw, I love to cook (and eat) all foods (though thai/asian is my favorite!), making ailment natural remedies, and creating funny and wild stories in conversation with my people.
It is such an honor to be able to join you through this part of your life, and I cannot wait to learn more about you and your family. Together we will create memories that will last a lifetime!
