Rebecca Rico Finklea, CPM, LM is the owner and primary midwife for Precious Blessings Midwife Care. She is a Florida native who answered a calling and fulfilled a life long dream by attending the Miami Dade Midwifery Program, graduating with honors in May 2001. She passed her NARM national certification exam in August 2001 and was licensed (MW144) by the state of Florida Department of Health,  Division of Medical Quality Assurance in December 2001.

Rebecca lives in Plant City, Florida. She is married and has two adorable young daughters who were born after lengthy but uneventful labors, the first in a hospital after starting at home and the second at home. Her experiences as a midwife and mother have reinforced her long held conviction that birth is a normal life event that should be honored and supported without interventions. She hopes that more women become aware of the empowering joy of normal birth and that the Midwives Model of Care is established as the gold standard for maternity care in the United States.
