Feeling the pressure to follow tradition?
We get it - saying “no” to a confinement nanny can feel like you're breaking the rules. But what if the rules just don’t work for your lifestyle?
You don’t need to follow someone else’s idea of how postpartum should be. We’ll help you do it in a way that feels right for you.
Here’s what support with Empowa actually looks like
In-home visits that work around your space
flexible support that fits your routine - no live-in needed
Expert, non judgemental guidance
Feeding, sleep, newborn care, physical and emotional recovery
Support for YOU, not just your baby
Your confidence, your wellbeing, your experience matters
You’re not selfish for wanting something different
You’re allowed to want a postpartum experience that’s modern, respectful, and centred around you. We’re not here to replace your mother or judge your traditions. We’re here to help you find the version of support that actually works in your life — with zero guilt attached.

A little about me
Hi, I’m Kathy - mum, DONA trained, Certified Postpartum Doula and Infant Care Doula with ProDoula, qualified with Lactation Education Resources to provide breastfeeding support and NICU informed.
I started this work after having my daughter overseas, far from family. I know what it feels like to want support, but not the kind that takes over. I built Empowa for women like you - who want to feel held, but also empowered.
You're already doing great. Let me help you feel even better.
