You deserve the birth of your dreams.
How would you feel...
If I told you that birthing at home isn't radical or scary. That when you believe deep in your core, that your body was created to birth, doing it on your own terms is possible...
What if ...
You had all the knowledge and education you needed? That fear of the unknown wasn't even a question, because you knew that a blissful and ecstatic process and outcome of birth, was inevitable.
Maybe you ...
- Don't want to fight for your right to have a natural birth
- Have had a traumatic past birth experience and know you want to do things differently this time
- See beautiful birth videos and wish that could be you
- Don't want decisions taken out of your hands
- Don't want to feel like you're handing over your body and experience to the 'experts'
- Want to feel comfortable enough to fully express your real raw self in your birth
- Want to feel respected and the process honored
- Believe birth can be beautiful and want to take a chance at getting that outcome
You CAN have a peaceful birth at home!
I know how confusing it can be when you have outside voices criticizing you for wanting to birth differently. But I also believe you're here because you KNOW you deserve more.
I know it can be worrying to think about the possible complications... But what if you truly understood the physiology of birth, and knew how to recognize and address a complication? Or better yet, what if you knew how to PREVENT them in the first place? How would you feel, if you knew the difference between variations of normal, complications and true emergencies?
Imagine if you were no longer affected by the negative comments, because you now possess the knowledge and language to articulate the reasons you're choosing this route! And the opinions of others no longer bothered you, because you KNOW with every fiber of your being, that birth should be this way.
Hi, I'm Bec.
Ten years ago I was pregnant with my first child and as I began to think about needing to seek out prenatal care, I started to get this overwhelming feeling that the system was not for me. I had never known anyone who home birthed before, and here I was googling "home birth midwife near me".
That willingness to listen to my intuition was the best decision I've ever made. Four kids, all born at home, with the last two being free birthed with no midwife present. For years people would say I was crazy because I love birth so much. I thought I was the weird one... But turns out there's a whole lot of women who've been fed a lie about their bodies and birth, and been conditioned to fear it, and their experiences became a self-fulfilling prophecy, and it wasn't weird to love birth at all.
I'm here to change the mindset around birth. I want you to fall in love with it, and walk away from your experience feeling empowered and on top of the world, like the birthing queen you are! You deserve the birth of your DREAMS!
Through each pregnancy and birth, I went through a journey and complete transformation of its own. An unravelling. A peeling back of layers, to get to the deepest parts of me. I couldn't stop talking about birth and how wildly ecstatic it is. Women constantly shared beautiful messages with me, about how I had encouraged or inspired them to birth differently next time, and that they'd experienced both redemption and healing.
THIS is why I created this self-paced course. Just for you. So that you could identify the fears, and move through them, while learning how your body works, what birth looks like from a physiological point of view, how to quickly recognize and respond to complications plus SO much more. I know that as you work through this course, you are going to feel excited about your birth, but more importantly, you're going to feel empowered and confident.

I can't guarantee anything in childbirth, but what I can guarantee is, if you really do the prep work, you will absolutely go into your experience better equipped than if you hadn't done anything.

Together, we are shifting the modern view on birth, and changing the world one birth at a time. I believe this is a worthwhile investment.
Q: I really want to buy this course, but I cannot afford it. Do you offer scholarships or discounts?
A: I have a payment plan, because I really want this course to be accessible for everyone. However I believe that this course is an investment in yourself, and your baby. if you continue to do what you've always done, you will continue to get the same results. The only way we can make a change is to do something different. I believe birth is such an important rite of passage, and by investing in yourself, for your birth, you are giving yourself and your baby, the best start! I have also priced this course much lower than my investment in time, knowledge and skills deserved, to get it out to you.
