Curriculum
Your instructor
My name is Becky Bovee, and as a mother of two who has navigated the transformative waters of natural childbirth firsthand, my passion for empowering expectant mothers through education and support in their natural birth journey runs deep.
Amidst having many doubts and fears about childbirth prior to and during my first pregnancy, I did what I could to prepare my body and mind for natural birth. I spent countless hours researching and doing all the things I could to prepare myself, and the practices truly helped me on my journey. Despite the earlier fears and doubts, I was able to do what once seemed unthinkable: have a natural, unmedicated, empowering birth. It was an experience that forever changed me, providing newfound confidence and amazement in my body and its capabilities.
I put many of the same practices into place throughout my second pregnancy and labor. They were both incredible natural birth experiences that I am forever grateful for.
This course is my way of extending a helping hand to other moms who aspire to navigate the journey of natural childbirth with grace and strength. In it, I share all the things that I discovered through my own research and put into practice throughout my pregnancies.
