"Empowered Birth isn’t just an idea, it’s a true gift that will transform all aspects of your life, and no one will ever be able to take your power away from you ever again."

​

~Carly Bonderud

​

 

The Empowered Birth Method and all we strive to create under the Empowering Moms brand  came from a simple, yet revolutionary idea...

 

That YOU are your own best expert when it comes to what is best for you, for your body, for your family, and what will ultimately support you in your legacy.

​

You didn't JUST get pregnant to have a baby, you did it because there is a part of you that wants to raise conscious, happy, loving children who grow up to make the world a better place.

​​

You also aren't content to just go along with what everyone else tells you is "best" for you and your growing family, otherwise you wouldn't have sought out this information on how to have a True Natural Birth and avoid the control, coercion, and pressure of the medical system.

​

You KNOW, deep down, that True Natural Birth is how you tap into your infinite power as a woman, as a mother, and as a leader in your family and your community. You also know that going AGAINST your intuition and just "doing what you're told" will lead to a deep, visceral pain of denying your own truth and you are NOT willing to sacrifice your dreams on the altar of motherhood.

​

You KNOW there MUST be a better way!

​​

You're right. There is "their" way, and then there is YOUR way. 

​​

Empowered Birth IS the way you tap into YOUR way, your path, your destiny,

and ultimately your dreams and vision for your family and your legacy.

​​

Women who have had Empowered Births have gone on to lead their partners and children into a more authentic and conscious way of life.

​

They've built businesses, healed generational trauma, broken cycles, and ultimately have reached the highest levels of self-actualization.

​

I'm going to tell you a secret...YOU are the true leader of your family line!

 

When YOU thrive and step into your full power as a woman and as a mother, you also show your partner (especially a male partner) how they can reach THEIR highest potential as well.

​

Together, you and your partner can lead your children to become the change-makers who inspire their peers as they enter their school years.

​

They'll watch YOU lead, and see YOU advocate for yourself and for them as your family grows up, and they'll intuitively know how to do it themselves. 

​

Children copy what they see, not what they're told.

 

You might have heard growing up to "think for yourself", however once you get pregnant that narrative shifts to "let the medical professionals think for you".

​

Your confidence is eroded, and the cultural attitudes reinforce the idea you don't know better than someone with a medical degree.

​

There is a lot of "mom guilt" and "mommy shaming" and it starts the moment you conceive your first child and continues well after you've sent those kids off to school and attempt to build your own dreams.

​

But what if you COULD have everything?

 

What if you could have a beautiful, Empowered Birth, become INSPIRED by what your body can do and then take that SAME energy to birth those dreams you thought you

had to put on hold or give up completely just to be seen as a "good mother"?

​

THIS is ultimately what I discovered after I used my 5 Pillars of Empowered Birth to reclaim my power in my second pregnancy. A spark ignited in the depths of my soul, and I could see how mothers were getting short-changed and undervalued in our society. 

​

I saw how we were put into a paradox of either being either "too sexy" or "too frumpy" in how we chose to dress.

​

I saw how we would be told we were "not reaching our full potential" if we stayed home with our babies but at the same time, if we chose to have a career or even start a business while our kids were young we were called "selfish".

​

We've been told to settle, to accept crumbs from life and from our relationships. "It's not about us anymore, it's about the kids".

​

NO MORE MOMMY MARTYR SYNDROME!!!

​

Our Mission is to ensure that any mother who wants a conscious, empowering birth and motherhood experience is able to get one! We also support mothers who have the odds stacked against them to rebuild their lives and reclaim their power.

​​

In the next decade, our aim is to create foundations and services that will not only serve our highest level clients, but also support those mothers who live in "maternity care deserts" with lack of access to truly supportive medical professionals, mothers in abusive and toxic relationships who may feel they can't leave, mothers who have little to no income, and any other mother who needs to remember who she is at her core so she can take back her crown and rise up stronger, more resilient, and truly unstoppable in how she leads her children into a better life.

​

The reason I am so passionate about this is because I was once that mom. I lived a life of poverty, struggled all my life to be seen, heard, and respected. I fell into a toxic and emotionally abusive relationship and stayed for 13 years, thinking I would never be able to leave without subjecting my children to worse financial hardship. I watched every dream I had slowly fade away, and I settled for crumbs. I even gave up my homebirth the first time, out of fear that I couldn't trust my own intuition over the "experts". 

​

When I discovered the truth, that I could ONLY trust myself, and that other mothers much stronger and with more options than I had were also being abused and manipulated into accepting crumbs in their births and in their lives, a fire was lit inside me. It was as if the Phoenix herself had risen from the ashes and as the embodiment of my soul, and I said "NO MORE!"

​

I spent the first few years after giving birth to my firstborn learning of the limitations of our system and how it keeps the good birth workers from supporting moms as they deserve to be supported, and how much we've had to fight, beg, and compromise just to get the few rights in the birth room we have now. 

​

I also saw how things weren't changing at the level they NEED to, and this is when the dream was born in my heart.

​

This is where YOU come in, Empowered Mom!

​

When you support our mission and tell others where to find us, you help bring conscious awareness to the mothers who will come after you.

 

They need to know that their dreams of a True Natural Birth are possible. They need to know they have far more options than our current medical system and birth culture would have them believe.

​

They need to know how to step into their power, trust their bodies, and tap into their intuition.

​

They need to become powerful advocates in their respective communities and teach the medical system what moms REALLY want in their birth experiences.

​

Decades ago, long before we were born, women demanded to become more autonomous in how they birthed their babies. They asked to have their partners attend the births with them. They were tired of going into a hospital system that drugged them up, strapped them to beds, cut their bodies, and dragged their babies out while they were unconscious.

​

They wanted more options, more choice, more respect.

​​

Everything we have NOW is because decades ago, enough mothers rallied together as consumers and told the birth industry what they wanted. They demanded better, and they got what they thought they needed...but the wisdom of True Natural Birth had almost been eradicated centuries before that, when the Witch Trials had taken place and the Wise Women and midwives had to go underground.

​

Fear of childbirth was perpetuated through the practices of the doctors who did NOT respect birth as a sacred rite of passage for both mother and baby. Women and babies died, and people assumed that modern medical advancements were the answer and that nature's design was inherently flawed. If that were true, we would not have survived as a species.

​

Unfortunately, the damage has been done. There are more people who fear birth than those who trust it.

 

There are serious psychological factors at play when it comes to why so many women are choosing inductions and medicated births and blindly following their care providers. There is a reason that so many hospitals have restrictive practices and policies. 

​​

The way OUT is NOT to just convince hospital staff to "let us" birth naturally. Their hands are often tied too...by past trauma, by hospital administration, by insurance companies...it all leads them to only do what has been "proven" to reduce that rare catastrophic outcome from happening.

​

What needs to happen is a revolution at the consumer level.

We need to CREATE options outside the system.

​

Our goal and mission is to bring awareness to communities about these options and to build them. Some of our long-term projects we're planning include...

​​

​

• Building and promotion of out-of-hospital birthing suites and birth houses, to topple the monopoly of hospitals and birthing centers that limit and restrict mothers from birthing with full autonomy.

• Establishing online schools for birth workers who wish to spread the Empowered Birth Method and create change within their communities.

• Creating free trainings, resources, and hosting in-person classes for women of lower socioeconomic status who cannot afford typical classes or hire a doula

• Postpartum support and business training for lower income families and especially for single mothers or women attempting to leave a toxic relationship, so that they can stay home with their babies while increasing their education and maximizing their earning potential.

• Creating more books, courses, and online programs that will help transform the lives of every mother who works with us!
