Empowering Birth
Holistic Birth Education & Preparation For Couples.
Feel informed, supported and empowered going into birth.
Empowering Birth is a holistic birth education experience designed to help you understand your body, release fear, and prepare confidently for birth.
Whether you choose the online course or the in-person masterclass, this is your space to prepare emotionally, physically and practically for one of the most transformative experiences of your life.
Birth is more than just 1 day.
Birth is a profound transition into parenthood, awakening identity, intuition, and deeper trust within yourself.
You deserve to feel deeply supported, held, and empowered through that journey.
Welcome to Empowering Birth
Empowering Birth is more than a birth education course.
It is a deeply holistic preparation experience for women and couples who want to feel informed, connected and supported as they move toward birth and early parenthood.
Led by Bec Fagan, Holistic Midwife and Birth Educator with over 20+ years of experience, this course brings together evidence-based birth education, practical labour tools, emotional preparation, nervous system support and holistic wisdom.
Inside Empowering Birth, you will learn how your body works in birth, how to navigate choices and interventions, how to support your nervous system, how to prepare your partner, and how to build trust in yourself and your body.
This is for you if you want more than standard birth information. It is for you if you want to move from fear, uncertainty or overwhelm into knowledge, confidence and deep trust in your body.
Why Empowering Birth?
Many women enter birth feeling underprepared, overwhelmed or unsure of what to expect.
You may have been told that birth is something to fear, manage or hand over to others.
You may have heard stories that left you anxious.
You may feel unsure about your options, your body, or how your partner can support you.
Empowering Birth was created to change that.
This course helps you understand birth as both a physiological process and a deeply emotional experience.
Whether you choose the online course or the in-person masterclass, this is your space to prepare emotionally, physically and practically for one of the most transformative experiences of your life.
Birth is more than a day.
It is a rite of passage into parenthood, identity, instinct and deep inner trust.
You deserve to feel supported in that transition.
You will be supported to:
understand your body’s natural wisdom in labour and birth
feel more informed about your choices
release unnecessary fear and conditioning
prepare emotionally and practically for birth
strengthen trust in your instincts and intuition
help your partner feel clear, prepared and confident
prepare for postpartum and early parenting with more support
Birth does not need to be approached from fear. With the right knowledge, preparation and support, you can move toward birth feeling more connected, informed and empowered.

What Clients Say
A Dad's Perspective:
"Perfect for us both, but personally as a relatively clueless expectant first time father Bec's support was superb to gain confidence surrounding my role in the birth process. She put an outstanding amount of positive energy and love into educating, guiding and empowering us - I now feel solid and ready t help facilitate my partners birth journey, armed with knowledge and support tricks/skills I feel more involved, way less anxious and much more excited! Highly recommend"
How it feels to come in person:
"I had no expectation as to what the way was going to look like, yet somehow it exceeded this unknown expectation. I enjoyed all parts of the day and loved the way it was structured, as each section was connected to the next and made labour and birth one big beautiful picture. I also loved how interactive it was, allowing full engagement and stimulation throughout the day. And lastly, the delivery was perfect! I loved Bec's high energy when needed and soft gentleness when needed- it was a lovely balance of feeling supported. I feel so at ease knowing that myself and my husband are educated, willing and confident as we move toward labour and birth. Thank you Bec!"
“I felt supported and informed from the moment I arrived.”
“I loved this day from start to finish. From the moment I walked up the stairs I felt like I was in a space where I would be supported and informed and that’s exactly how I felt all day. Bec is a wealth of knowledge and a calming and empowering source of advice. I came away from the day feeling relaxed, informed and excited about the process of birth.”
— Karen
“It gave us tools and confidence to birth our baby together.”
“The Empowering Birth Retreat day was nourishing, supportive and informative. I was searching for a birth information session which offered insight into the emotional, hormonal and physiological journey of birth. Bec was able to deliver on both sides in a very balanced way. My husband and I walked away feeling so much more empowered, with the tools and confidence to birth our baby together.”
— Anna
“My husband felt like he had the tools to support me.”
“My husband and I attended a 1:1 birthing support session with Bec. We were both feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect. After the session I felt really empowered and my mindset had changed to a positive and supportive outlook. My husband also feels like he has the tools to support me during birth.”
— Lucy
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Empowering Birth for?
They're different in style, but both just as effective for deep healing. At an intensive you have more freedom to come and go, you join me for your Spinal Flow sessions and group mentoring, while between these you're able to go for a walk or stay in the wellness centre to integrate, and each night you return home. At a retreat however, it is a fully inclusive, immersive experience. The Spinal Flow healing is the same, however at our retreat location you're able to participate in yoga classes, access facilities on site, in addition to overnight accomodation and all meals included.
Is this only for first-time parents?
No. Empowering Birth is supportive whether this is your first baby or you have birthed before. Many parents come to this work because they want a different experience this time, or because they want to feel more emotionally and practically prepared.
Is this suitable if I’m birthing in hospital?
Yes. Empowering Birth supports you whether you are planning to birth at home, in hospital or in a birth centre. The focus is on helping you understand your options, your body and your choices.
Does my partner need to attend?
Partners are highly encouraged to participate. A key part of Empowering Birth is helping your support person understand how to support you emotionally, physically and practically through labour and birth.
How many weeks pregnant should I be?
You can begin at any stage of pregnancy. Many families benefit from starting earlier so they have more time to integrate the tools, but the course is supportive even later in pregnancy.
What makes this different from hospital birth classes?
Hospital classes often focus on procedures and general information. Empowering Birth goes deeper into physiology, emotional preparation, nervous system support, partner preparation, informed choices and postpartum wellbeing.
Is the online course live or pre-recorded?
The online course is pre-recorded so you can move through it at your own pace. You also receive 12 months access so you can revisit the content throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
Can I get personalised support with the course?
Yes. The Premium option includes the full online course plus three 1:1 support sessions with Bec.
Is there a payment plan?
