Welcome

Empowered for Birth is a doula service that provides care and support to women and families living in Canberra throughout pregnancy, birth and new parenthood.

The service was founded on the following beliefs:

Womens' bodies instinctively know how and when to give birth.

Birth usually unfolds in the way it is meant to when not interfered with.

Women and their families should be supported in making their own informed choices about their care during pregnancy and birth.

Birth is a life-changing experience that should always be viewed through the eyes of the mother and her family; she will always remember the birth of her child.

Memories of birth are shaped by how a woman and her family are treated; by offering calm, constant and empowering care and support, birth can be a more joyous and safe experience for both mother and baby.
