"I had the absolute pleasure of doing a private birth course with Tam from Nurtured Beginnings Maternity in the comfort of my own home. From the moment she arrived, Tam’s warmth and calm nature made both my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease.
The course itself was incredibly thorough and left us with no unanswered questions heading into birth. I walked away feeling empowered, confident, and equipped with the tools to create a birth plan that truly suited us. Even though my birth did not go as planned, the knowledge we gained gave us the confidence to make informed decisions during what was quite a stressful time. Tam also gave my husband the skills to advocate for me when I couldn’t speak up for myself, which was invaluable. The birth course also helped in answering a lot of those 2am questions you would usually find yourself googling so it was a great tool to have research based answers at my fingertips.
On top of that, the postpartum guide was such a game changer. It encouraged my husband and I to have honest conversations about what life after birth would look like and how we would share responsibilities, which made such a difference to our transition. This is something I would recommend to all parents, not just first time parents!
I couldn’t recommend Tam and the Nurtured Beginnings Empowered Birth Course and Postpartum Guide highly enough. It was an experience that truly shaped our journey and gave us both the confidence we needed."

You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers.
A: Whenever you like! You can complete Empowered Birth at any stage during your pregnancy. If possible, I recommend completing Empowered Birth early in your third trimester. This will ensure you are fully equipped with all the information, know what to expect, and feel confident before your labour begins. Doing this course sooner rather than later also gives you time to practice the tools and strategies so they come easily when the big day arrives. However, it can be done at any stage in pregnancy!
A: Here’s the good news: this course is for any expecting parent, no matter what number baby. If you didn't have a positive birth experience the first time or felt blindsided, unprepared or simply just want a different experience this time, this course is for you! Empowered Birth will help you build on what you already know from your last birth, take control of your next experience and give you tools and strategies to make informed choices throughout your birth experience.
A: Absolutely! It’s so important for you and your partner to be on the same page. Your partner should be your biggest support, advocate, and cheerleader during birth. To truly step into this role, they need knowledge and practical strategies - making it essential to complete Empowered Birth together.
A: Hey, don’t worry! I created this whole course to be concise and entirely go-at-your-own-pace. Why? Because I know you are time-poor and already have a lot on your to-do list. Empowered Birth is designed so you can binge it in one day or space it over a few weeks if that’s more your style. Everyone’s journey through the course will look a little different, and that’s okay! The layout of the course and workbook also allows you to easily navigate to specific information when you need it.
A: I understand that everyone has different learning styles, which is why I’ve got you covered. The content is delivered in multiple ways to suit your personal learning style. You can watch the videos and online lessons while you listen to my voice, but there are also downloadable written resources if you prefer. That’s right, I have more than one way for you to engage with the content, so there’s absolutely no reason to worry!
