Rebecca Amstutz Whitestone has long been interested in women's and reproductive healthcare. She obtained her Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana Wesleyan University in Pre-Medical Sciences and International and Community Development with the original career goal of becoming an OB/GYN in a developing country. However, her own physical and mental health challenges (including hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) redirected her from medical school and reoriented her towards serving folks within the U.S. It also gave her a wide knowledge and experience base in holistic health as she's used a variety of dietary, supplement, therapeutic, and stress management techniques to improve her own health. She's worked primarily in nonprofit and childcare settings but was still drawn to families welcoming babies and so she trained as a doula in 2016 and as a lactation counselor in 2020. In 2021 Rebecca and her husband welcomed their son with a difficult birth that led into a difficult breastfeeding experience, but Rebecca is grateful for this experience not just because of her son's emergence but also because it better enables her to offer support to birthing and breastfeeding/pumping clients who may be experiencing things not going according to plan. Rebecca then worked at WIC as a peer breastfeeding counselor, became a state-certified community doula in 2023, and then sat for and passed her IBCLC exam in 2024. In 2025, Rebecca stepped into the world of coaching, becoming a certified trauma informed coach, and a certified Mindful Health and Wellness coach as well. She plans to become nationally board certified in health and wellness coaching in the summer of 2025. As well as here at Whitestone Wellness, Rebecca can also be found at Maven Clinic as a Maternal Care Coach and at Leva App as an IBCLC.
