Hello, Congrats on the upcoming birth of your baby!  I am Dr Sura - a holistic women’s health chiropractor and the birth educator of Empowered Birth. I help people align to their power and wisdom during pregnancy, birth and motherhood so they may best support themselves and their babies to be healthy, happy and strong. I created this birth education program to provide holistic information and support to expectant individuals and families.

Giving birth is an incredible opportunity to awaken more deeply to one’s power and natural instincts.  Your birth power is spiritual power rooted in your body. It is where the spiritual meets the physical.  The practices in the Empowered Birth program are designed to support one’s alignment to body, mind, heart and spirit for a smooth labor. This class is designed to help couples step into their power and prepare more holistically for the rite of passage into motherhood and fatherhood.

I have had the incredible joy of working with pregnant and postpartum people now for over a decade.  I have supported many women through blissful births and births that did not go as planned.  My hope is to take the wisdom imparted on me and give you the opportunity to prepare yourself for the most transformative, positive and empowering birthing experience possible. 

In honor of your power and the power of birth,

Dr Sura Corrigan, DC
