Preparing for birth allows you to own your choices and move through it with confidence.

Our story

PowerBirth began in 2020 when, in an effort to fill knowledge gaps and offer reassurance to the birthing community, founder Beth Ryan began sharing clear, empowering information on how to navigate pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

What began as 1:1 birth classes on Zoom is now a comprehensive, evidence-based birth course facilitated both in person and online by highly skilled and experienced midwives. To learn more about our incredible team, keep reading!
