“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers — strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength."

—Barbara Katz Rothman

When it comes to birth,
"going with the flow" is not a plan.

Hi, I'm Debra,

Mum of 4, (Grandmother of 2), Midwife and Birth Educator of almost 2 decades. Here to help you navigate the most life challenging, yet amazing and transformative day of your life.

Learning from an experienced midwife can help take away the fear of the unknown. With Knowledge, comes Power. When you know what to expect, the unknown is no longer unknown, it is imagined, and not yet experienced.

I am able to answer your questions honestly, in a language you understand, from my vast experience of what really happens in the birthing rooms of 2023. Not just from knowledge I have gained from a reading a book or going to a conference.

When you know how your body and hormones work in labour, (including all the twists and turns you may encounter), gives you the background for making empowered decisions about the biggest day of your life.

Having knowledge gives you options.

Being prepared gives you comfort.

And having the support of a birthing partner who understands their role gives you the rock to lean on, as together you bring your baby into the world.

What others have to say

Stephania Stevens

“I recently had the pleasure of attending Debra's new 'Birthing Master-Class' and couldn't recommend it higher. The workshop was intensely informative (without being overwhelming) and my partner and I both got so much out of it. We are now able to have informed discussions about what we want in our birth plan.

I FEEL A LOT MORE CONFIDENT IN MY FEELINGS AND DECISIONS AROUND THE LABOUR AND THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO US.

The course covered everything from how to be a good support person through to what to expect in the first few hours after our baby is born - as first-time parents this was invaluable. Thanks again Debra for an awesome course.”

Olivia Hurley

“Debra's knowledge of everything birthing and more so hypnobirthing is fantastic. She is warm, approachable and truly wants to give you all the tools to have the best birth possible.

BEING SO WELL INFORMED MAKES YOU FEEL AS IF YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR BIRTH AND YOUR CHOICES RATHER THAN A PASSENGER ALONG FOR THE RIDE.

I highly recommend Debra from Empowered to Birth. The resources she has to teach and the information you take home is incredible. 5 stars all the way.”
