“ If you are emotionally held and supported, you can let the fear in your mind rest. Only then can you allow the true wisdom of your body to birth with full trust and surrender ”

~ Bec Fagan

Welcome to Empowering Birth

Empowering Birth is more than a birth education course it is a deeply holistic journey designed to nurture every part of you mind, body, and spirit as you prepare for one of the most transformative experiences of your life.

Led by a Holistic Midwife with two decades of experience, this course integrates evidence-based knowledge with holistic practices to leave you feeling empowered, seen, and supported. Empowering Birth gives you the clarity, confidence, and tools to create the positive birth experience you are seeking. Whether it’s your first or fourth birth, this is your opportunity to transform fear into trust.


Here, you’ll be held in a supportive space that honours your unique path, helps you release fear, and empowers you to step into birth feeling informed, connected, and truly supported


Birth is a
sacred rite of passage—a powerful opportunity to discover who you are, what you value, and how you want to step into your parenting journey. Together, we’ll question the cultural norms around birth and place women and couples back in the centre of birth, where they belong.


It’s time to shift the story of birth. Rather than approaching it with fear and uncertainty, you’ll discover the incredible intelligence of your body and recognise that everything you need to navigate birth with confidence and clarity already lies within you. You’ll learn how to tune into your intuition and instincts, uncover the beliefs that may be holding you back, and replace them with empowering truths that support your unique birth journey.


When you trust yourself, you can birth from a place of power and carry that strength into every part of your life.

Just some of the TESTIMONIALS

How it feels to be supported in the lead up to your birth:

"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. And don't get me started on the delicious snacks and teas! The perfect day for any mum to be and their support team, thank you Bec."

- Karen

How it feels to have a balanced and holistic approach to birth education:

"The Empowering Birth Retreat day was nourishing, supportive and informative – particularly as my husband and I were attending as first time birthing parents. I was searching for a birthing information session which offered insight into the emotional, hormonal and physiological journey of birth, a perspective which I experienced was either skipped or not given enough space in the offerings of a medical practice. Learning about and giving grace to the emotional journey of birth was just as important to me as learning about the process and procedures of a medicalised treatment of birth. Bec was able to deliver on both sides, in a very balanced way. Bec was extremely knowledgeable in Midwifery services, the procedures that can unfold while birthing at a hospital, and she was able to answer our questions or concerns with her industry experience. The whole day was packed full of practical learning – my husband and I walked away feeling so much more empowered, with the tools and confidence to birth our baby together. There were so many resources shared with us, during and after the day session, to continue our knowledge and solidify what we had learnt. Listening to other couples during the session was also a wonderful way to share in the learning experience. 5/5 for a great day! Thank you Bec for the knowledge (and the delicious catering)!"

- Anna

Birth education where support partners are supported too:

"My husband and I attended a 1:1 birthing support session with Bec. This is going to be our first child and we both were feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect during the stages of labour and birth before seeing Bec. After the session I felt really empowered and my mindset had changed to a positive and supportive outlook on the labour and birthing experience . My husband also feels like he has the tools to support me during the birth of our child and make sure that the experience is calm and supportive for both of us"

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this course for?

It’s for couples that know nothing and couples that know everything because empowering birth is a deep dive into helping you connect into your inner self as well as providing the wisdom and knowledge about the physiological process of birth and the wisdom of the body when you can learn about the wisdom of the body have that deep trust and intuition And connection to yourself then you can understand the whole entire birth process as a holy stick event you then understand and connect with how you feel then understand and connect with what could potentially be happening in your body and you can connect the dots rather than feeling the unknown.

Why do Empowering birth? Isn't a hospital birth class enough?

When you're expecting your little one, it's often recommended that you attend a class at your chosen place of birth. Hospital classes are usually like an orientation where they will tell you what on offer and usually teach along side their policies and procedure guidelines. But this doesn’t support individuality and the uniques the birth is. Many hospital birth classes feel like they’re just ticking boxes, focusing on policies and routines. But birth is a profoundly unique and personal experience. No two journeys are the same, and everyone has their own story based on their experience. This is where Empowering birth comes in. Empowering birth is a deep dive into self discovery alongside holistic birth education, because as you discover yourself more then you can really speak from what is right for you as you navigate your unique birthing journey they way you want, not what is expected of you. If you want care that truly honours your individuality, remember: your journey is unique and deserves to be treated as such. True empowerment comes from understanding yourself, so you can confidently make decisions that align with your values, not just follow standard expectations.

What if my partner isn't sure about it?

If he’s unsure about attending, that’s understandable—partners haven’t traditionally been part of the birth process as it has always been considered "women's business". But today, their emotional presence is essential to grounding and supporting their partner through one of the most profound rites of passage. This journey may be one of the most significant experiences in her life, and knowing how to support her through pregnancy, labor, and birth can deepen your connection. This course will guide you on how to truly show up for her, for your relationship, and for your journey as a father.

How many weeks should I be to do this course?

The ideal time to progress through Empowering Birth is 24 weeks of pregnancy ensuring you're well-prepared for the transformative journey ahead. However, many lessons offer valuable insights for your first trimester, making it beneficial to start as soon as you find out you're pregnant! This way, you’ll have your entire pregnancy to integrate the tools and knowledge, supporting not just your birth experience but also your overall pregnancy wellbeing. Joining early also gives you the opportunity to rewatch videos, deepen your understanding and revisit content if needed.

Can we get a payment plan?

Yes! We offer a couple of different payment plans, you should be able to find one that works for you.

Why does this course go beyond just birth physiology and labour tools?

Birth is a holistic event, it's a whole embodiment, a spiritual rite of passage– it is so much more than just a physical event... So if you're looking for a holistic, comprehensive birth course this is it. I don’t want you to feel scared about the journey. I want you to feel safe and I want you to feel ready and prepared. I want every cell of your being to know that every path that you journey is for a reason and I want you to understand that you are so much more than just your physical body. Empowering Birth gives you the tools so that you can connect to the intelligence and the wisdom of the body every single day so that you can be in tune with how your body operates and connected to your emotional well-being. This will then give you the confidence to move through life with a sense of knowing and a deeper connection to your intuition.

Is this course live or pre-recorded?

Most of the content is prerecorded, meaning you can navigate this course at your own pace. However Bec will be doing a monthly online Q&A meaning that there is a live component!! Here couples can jump on and ask Bec any questions that they have and dive deeper, and even share your birth story with others if you're joining for postpartum support. If you did want to attend a live masterclass Bec teaches one in Lismore once a month.


Why is the in person class a whole day?

One day might feel like a lot—but truthfully, we could speak about this for a whole month. There is so much to share, and part of my mission is to inspire you to start learning more, growing more, and allowing your body and mind to evolve and change—so that you can begin to see birth from a different perspective. A perspective that invites you to revisit your beliefs—your deep-rooted beliefs about your own ability, about your safety, and about your surrender point. During the day, we take a deep dive into the energetics of birth, the physiological process, and the hormonal involvement in labour—so that you can understand what the human body actually needs to produce the powerful hormones required to labour and birth.

What makes Empowering Birth different to other birth courses?

Unlike traditional birth classes, Empowering Birth takes a holistic approach. We focus not only on the physical aspects of birth but also on emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Our aim is to help you connect deeply with yourself, others, and the journey of birth and parenting.

Is this course a good fit if this isn't my first baby?

While much of this course is directed at first time parents, there is so much in here that applies to anyone who is preparing for their labour and birth journey! The modules and lessons apply whether this is your first baby or your fifth baby, and can set you up for your postpartum and parenting journey too. Alternatively though you can book a 1hr or 2hr 1:1 Support Session if this feels like a better fit for you.

Is Empowering Birth just for the birthing mother or for the partner as well?

Empowering birth is also for your support team so that they can know the intricacies of birth. Once they know the intricacies of birth they can then hold space for you more deeply more consciously and and with more loving patience Without that knowledge they simply are just another person in the room unknowing of their role unknowing of their impact and unknowing of what she truly needs to fully surrender to the power of birth. Historically partners have only been recently welcome to back into the birth space as it is always been considered women’s business only so I can understand how uncomfortable they may feel remembering also that a lot of partners feel that heavy load of being not just their partner but their advocate Their space holder the guardian the decision maker and a cheerleader. Having all of these roles mixed in and one is a lot to carry for them so understand what your role is making sure that you have a care provider that can be your advocate that can be your cheerleader. That can be your space holder as well so that you don’t have to carry the load alone.

What practical tools for labour and birth are covered?

In Empowering Birth, I teach support people how to truly support—physically, mentally, and emotionally. This includes acupressure for comfort and energetic flow, the power of conscious touch and presence, and how to tune into intuition rather than rely on a list of positions. Yes, we talk about labour positions—but more importantly, I teach you how to trust your body’s signals and make choices that feel right in the moment. It’s about building confidence, connection, and inner knowing—so you can move through birth feeling safe, supported, and in sync with your body.
