Empower Antenatal Classes can be empowering! Empower Birth Classes are based on the knowledge that pregnancy, labour and birth are empowering normal events in your life.

Birth is one of the most empowering journeys you will ever get to be on, and is to be greeted with excitement and joy – never fear. By advocating safe women centred childbirth methods, that your body is made to do, the aim is for you to make an informed choice for you birth – wherever that journey takes you. We have a definite focus on birth as a natural and positive event in your life.
