Welcome to Empowered for Birth

The journey starts here...

There is a reason why pregnancy takes nine months; preparation. Becoming a parent has little to do with buying an adequate cot, change table and pram; it is about choices and communication, and starting to put thought into the emotional aspect of becoming a parent before your baby is born will make the journey easier and more positive for all involved. Happy parents, happy children. Practice making your home a gentle, loving place to welcome your baby into. This is as much about caring for each other as a couple, as it is about caring for your baby.

Womens' bodies have been beautifully and wonderfully made and they instinctively know how and when to give birth. Birth is a normal and natural event, which usually unfolds in the way it is meant to when not interfered with. Your baby's birth is not another day at work for the midwife or doctor; it is an event that should be treated as though it will always be remembered... because it will! Memories of your birth are shaped by how you are treated; calm and empowering support creates a positive, more joyous birth experience.

Children thrive on loving boundaries and flexible routines. They know what to expect, are more emotionally stable and grow into well-adjusted teenagers. Parenting can be gentle and firm all at once. What is done to your child, your child will do to the world -- if he is loved, love will come easily and if he is cared for, he will care for others; but if he is mocked, he will mock others and  if he is disrespected, he will disrespect others. When children are raised in a home and have everything that a home represents - love, safety, comfort, care - they have a sense of belonging, and truly have their needs met.

One is roots. The other is wings." ~ Hodding Carter, Jr.
