Meet Dr Shipley

After having two unmedicated homebirths Dr. Shipley is especially passionate about helping birthing people have as smooth a childbirth as possible. She believes that everyone would benefit from seeing a pelvic physical therapist during pregnancy.

Meet Rebecca
In addition to being Amanda’s ‘little’ sister (they’re identical twins, so she’s only 5 minutes younger), Rebecca is a homebirth mom who’s spent her career working in or supporting healthcare practices. She’s passionate about education and personal growth, and has been inspired to help others through her own journey to motherhood.
Rebecca loves being the ‘behind-the-scenes’ support but enjoys co-hosting the Kumbay’all podcast with Amanda.
