Amy Rebekah, M.A., L.M.T., S.E.P., C.S.T., R.Y.T., C.B.D., C.C.E.

 

"My professional practice has been an ever-evolving offering of bodywork, yoga, meditation, somatic trauma healing, childbirth education, labor and birth doula support, lactation education and newborn care, ceremony, healing circles, rituals, herbal and nutritional counseling, deeply rooted in my own evolving personal practice of self-care, personal reflection, generational and personal healing, and transformation.  My capacity to hold space for others as they fight cancer, give birth, accept death, end or begin a marriage, job, or parenthood, or dive into their own trauma-informed patterns, beliefs, addictions, and behaviors is the foundation of my leadership experience of walking with people through navigating change"

Amy Rebekah is a visionary leader, facilitator and healer with over 20 years in practice as a licensed massage therapist, craniosacral therapist, doula, childbirth educator and doula trainer, a community herbalist, circle keeper, a story steward and story-teller, a speaker and author, a researcher and trainer of Trauma-Informed and Healing-Centered leadership.  

 

From 2017-2022 Amy enjoyed the experience of weaving her practical lived experiences with the theories and scholarship inside of a doctoral program in leadership and change through Antioch University.  This academic journey increased Amy's capacity from supporting individuals and couples going through intense change or healing, to supporting groups and organizations working for change by supporting them in their capacity to practice a more authentic, responsible, embodied, and collaborative leadership culture through engaging a trauma-informed approach.

 

In 2020 Amy founded ReStoryative Somatics, LLC to share her services and train other professionals in Trauma-Informed and Healing-Centered leadership. She is passionate about supporting leaders and those who support others in learning the practice of self-regulation of their nervous systems in service to co-regulation as a leadership practice.  

 

In 2022 Amy’s vision of a shared services interdisciplinary perinatal and parenting support co-operative was  conceived as T.R.I.B.E. Co-Op; Trauma and Resilience -Informed Birth Education Perinatal and Parenting Co-operative. With the support of a community initiative grant through the Northwest Dayton Partnership, and a Community Initiative for Racial Equity Grant through Kellogg foundation, Amy has been able to train 18 interdisciplinary perinatal and parenting support professionals in trauma informed care and somatic oriented healing centered practices, while the members of the pilot in return are offering parenting peer support circles and interdisciplinary wrap-around care to pregnant women and families in Northwest Dayton.

​

Currently, Amy and her daughter Modjeska are also joining forces to create a collaborative company called CommuniTEA Love, a company dedicated to facilitating connection within the community through access to herbal tea blends and herbal education for ANYONE to begin or deepen their journey as an herbalist.
