Birth Empowered was born in 2019 following the closure of our local caseloading and home birth midwifery service. As midwives, Emma & Emma both chose to work in that model of care to enable them to provide the safest, most personalised and best care they could.

We realised that most student midwives would never get the opportunity to work in such daring, responsive and autonomous way.

We realised that midwives can struggle to thrive in traditional structures and difficult circumstances, despite doing their very best.

We realised that many parents are unable to access the same depth of individualised discussion, support and care planning that we were once able to provide.

So with the loss of our dream jobs we poured our passion into dreaming for the future. Birth Empowered is a testament to our determination to keep on, knowing excellent midwifery care changes the world.
