THE SELF-MADE PARENT

if you are ready to develop your parenting skills then you are in the right place

take ownership of your parenting

The Self-Made Parent is an empowered individual equipped with the knowledge and skills to become the parent they aspire to be—not a perfect parent, but one who shows up in the ways their child deserves while also honoring their own needs, values, and life desires. These parents choose to raise their children with intention, following their child’s unique needs rather than defaulting to inherited parenting methods that may no longer serve them.

If you've ever thought:
💭 "I don’t want to parent the way I was raised, but I don’t know how..."
💭 "How do people even handle little ones?"
💭 "Pregnancy sounds overwhelming..."
💭 "I've only heard nightmare birth stories, and I'm nervous..."
💭 Or maybe you're simply scared to take the leap into parenthood...

Then The Self-Made Parent has something for you.

Together, the choices we make today shape the well-being of our children, our families, and all generations to come. 💛

helping you find confidence in your transitions through pregnancy + parenthood

Hi, I’m Becca, creator of The Self-Made Parent!

I’m a prenatal and kids’ yoga teacher, childbirth and parenting educator, and Ayurvedic women’s health specialist(oh, and a former assistant preschool teacher!). My mission is to share everything I’ve learned about pregnancy, birth, postpartum care, childrearing, and building secure, connected relationships with your children—all in one place.

I’m here to provide unbiased, factual information so you can make informed, empowered decisions on your parenting journey, no matter where you are today.

My journey into the world of parenting and childbirth began in January 2018 when I became an assistant preschool teacher. That’s where I first encountered the Circle of Security Parenting course—an eye-opening experience that deepened my understanding of children’s needs and the vital role of a confident, caring adult in nurturing their emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-confidence.

I eventually became a facilitator of the course, and through practice, reflection, and countless conversations, I grew confident in recognizing and responding to each child’s unique needs—while still managing the daily flow of the classroom. This experience also gave me a deep appreciation for how challenging it can be for parents to always interpret and meet their child’s needs, even with the best intentions.

Now, I’m here to support you on your journey—because parenting isn’t about perfection; it’s about understanding, connection, and growth.
