Rebecca Skillman

Certified Holistic Doula

About Me

Im a homeschooling mom of 6, living in Beulaville, on our modest 3 acre homestead with my husband Steven. We got married in 2013.

From 2014 to 2023, I had 7 pregnancies. My last 2 babies were born at home including one unassisted birth and one surprise breech birth with a midwife.

The idea for Bearing Precious Seed LLC came from a desire to encompass my favorite interests: Childbearing, Herbalism & Spreading the Gospel (Psalm 126:6) BPS is also an acronym for Birth & Postpartum Services.

I began working on my doula training in 2020 and finished my certification March 2022. I dived headfirst plugging into the birth community of Eastern NC and getting to know fellow doulas and birthworkers. I volunteered free childbirth education in Duplin County since 2022 at the local Library and Wellness Center. I've also had the opportunity to teach childbirth education at community baby showers.

I am the only doula east of Goldsboro that is fully contracted with Medicaid.

In July 2024 I founded The Duplin Doulas & began mentoring other doulas

I support ALL births from scheduled cesarean to homebirth. I deeply care about other women and the way they are treated in birth.

Being a doula, for me, is a calling. My first year as a doula, I attended many births probono to gain experience and help mothers who could not afford doula support until Medicaid coverage picked up. I have attended dozens of births now.

As your doula, I always put myself in your shoes & treat you the way YOU want to be treated!
