About Empowering Her
Empowering her was created from a vision. A woman’s vision to provide care and education to empower women during their transition to motherhood whilst encompassing all the internal and external strengths and challenges they may confront during this life changing time in their lives.
“Just because you become a mum does not mean you are ‘just a mum’. Women are incredible, the strength seen in each and every one of them inspires me every day. Challenge yourself, have a career, follow your dreams, believe in yourself and enjoy all those special mum moments.” Ann Marie Gonzalez RM, IBCLC

WHO, World Health Organization
