About me…

My name is Moran and I am a mother to three healthy, smart and beautiful girls. My journey into the world of birthing began when I had my first child Isabella. Isabella’s birth was one filled with fear, intervention and post partum anxiety, the way all births are not meant to be. I really doubted whether I would have any more children after her birth as I felt the power within me was taken away. However when I did finally summon up the courage to try again I decided to have a doula support me through this important time in my life and support me she did! My daughter Portia’s birth was a moment of pure empowerment and joy. I birthed her in my bath tub at the time when I was scheduled to go in to a private hospital but I was going so well and felt so confident in my body’s abilities that I decided to have a last minute unassisted birth at home with just my husband and doula present. At the moment of transition I remember my fears creaping up on me as I gazed into my reassuring doula’s eyes which gave me the strength to keep going and keep going I did! With my third child I had a very long back labour as she was posterior but again I had my doula that stayed with me for the whole time making sure that my confidence in my body’s abilities weren’t diminished in any way and I birthed her naturally with no intervention needed. I was so inspired and fascinated with the strength and confidence having a doula there gave me in comparison to my first birth and became inspired to want to give other women that same belief in their bodies and their ability to birth naturally that I got. My aim is to give my clients the trust to believe in their bodies and their abilities to handle anything and to let them gain the knowledge to the array of choices that are available so that they can make informed decisions when it comes to their birth. I have attended many births now as a doula and it is such a rewarding experience to be present for the parents that I work with in aiding them enjoy the birth experience which will leave an imprint for a lifetime. I work in births in any setting and all circumstances, from home birth, birthing centre to hospital births and have witnessed the most AMAZING births imaginable. I am a true believer that “when you change the way you think about birth, the way you birth will change’ ~ Marie Mongan

🎥• 🤱🏼🗣️ “Parir ha sido el estado alterado de conciencia más intenso que he experimentado. Yo me sentía en trance y cuando salió la cabeza fue que sentí que regresé. Ha sido lo más fuerte que he vivido y al mismo tiempo el momento en que más paz he sentido. Así bien contradictorio como tener una camisa de Midol sintiendo un dolor que se te mete por los huesos y te jala por las piernas je je jé. Mirar a mi tribu y lo sostenida que nos tenían estuvo precioso. Parir en casa, con mis michis 🐈‍⬛, una corilla grandota de mujeres y familia será esa historia de amor que nunca nos cansaremos de contarle a Apolonia.
Gracias para siempre a mi partera y a mi doula 💘🌌”

De esos partos hermosos que nacen rodeados de amor. Acompañada por las mujeres de su familia: abuelas, bisabuelas, tías…
por sus parteras y su doula, sosteniendo y cuidando cada momento.

Papá presente, firme y amoroso.
Y en la salita, con respeto y paciencia, esperando su llegada: su tío y sus abuelos.

Un parto en familia.
Una familia muy querida.
Un nacimiento sostenido por generaciones..

✨ 8cm and smiling like it’s just another Tuesday.
Birth really does have range, mama. 💛
Some roar, some breathe, some chat through contractions, all of it is normal, all of it is powerful.

Every woman, every body, every birth… completely unique.
Trust yours. ✨

Every time I revisit facts about the uterus, I’m reminded of the quiet power we carry. We as women possess an organ designed to grow life, adapt, stretch, protect, and heal. It’s nothing short of miraculous

Repost by • I honestly didn’t know half of these facts before becoming a mom.

We go through pregnancy, birth, postpartum—and yet no one tells us just how powerful the uterus really is.

Reading these blew my mind because it made me realize… our bodies were never just “made for babies.”

They were made to be strong, adaptable, resilient, and endlessly working behind the scenes.

It’s wild to think about all the things our uterus does daily without us even noticing.

No wonder motherhood changes the way we see ourselves—we’re carrying proof of power inside us every single day.

Which of these facts surprised you the most?

Share with me in the comments.

Let this be your reminder:

🎥 Por 2 años 1/2 Loriani y su esposo estuvieron buscando un bebé. No fue hasta que se sometió a un tratamiento de IVF que llegó la noticia de que vida se estaba formando dentro de ella.

Una vez confirmaron que el embarazo estaba progresando en salud esas primeras semanitas, iniciamos con el cuidado prenatal.

Loriani cuenta que llegó a mi cuidado por recomendación de una amiga que dio a luz conmigo.

Conocer las estadísticas de cesáreas e induciones de parto sin necesidad en Puerto Rico reafirmó en ellos el deseo de planificar su parto en el hogar. Ella quería que fuera un proceso natural y respetado. También, deseaba que fuera en su casa para que sus seres queridos estuvieran cerca, para estar en la comodidad de su hogar, poder alimentarse sin restricciones y tener libertar de movimiento.

Loriani me escribe que: “El sueño de tener al bebé en casa fue opción desde que comenzamos a buscar un bebé 🥰”

El embarazo se desarrolló en salud de principio a fin. Unos días antes de cumplir las 40 semanas, iniciaron las primeras señales de parto que fueron cada vez progresando más y más.

Estuvimos con ella aproximadamente 16 horas antes de que naciera bebé. En calma. Monitoreando. Cuidando. Esperando. Entre descanso y movimiento llegó el momento de entrar a la piscina de parto y fue ahí donde Lucas nació. 🩵 Rodeada de su familia como lo había visualizado. Apoyada por su esposo. En compañía de su doula y equipo de parteras.

Birth might look different for every mother, but one thing never changes: your baby knows you. Skin-to-skin after birth, even in a cesarean, helps them transition gently, calm their nervous system, and find their rhythm in your heartbeat. You are home 💛

I went back and forth about sharing this… but staying true to my voice and standing for women has always mattered to me.
So here it is.

Biological women have an extraordinary ability to create life, grow life, and bring life into the world. That is something to honour, to celebrate, and to protect. No one should diminish or rewrite the reality of what women’s bodies uniquely do. 💪🏻🧡

🎥• Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) pressed Dr. Nisha Verman, an obstetrician-gynecologist and fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health, during a Senate hearing Wednesday on whether “men can get pregnant.”
 
“I am a person of science, and I’m also someone here who’s here to represent the complex experiences of my patients and I don’t think polarized language or questions serve that goal. I don’t think they serve the American people,” she told the senator, who then cut her off.
 
“It is not polarizing to say that there’s a scientific difference between men and women. And I want this to be clear and for the record. It is not polarizing to say that women are a biological reality and should be treated and protected as such,” Sen. Hawley said.
 
“Your refusal to recognize women as women and men as men is deeply corrosive — to science, to public trust and yes, to constitutional protections for women as women. And I think it’s extraordinary that you would sit here and advance a political agenda that has been thoroughly discredited and rejected by the American people.”

Birth doesn’t create a woman’s strength, it reveals the strength that was already there 💪🏻💛

🎥 repost ➡️• I absolutely love this example of a mama-led baby catch. What a beautiful birth to witness!

Do you also notice how baby’s color started to come in even without breathing? He was still getting O2 from the umbilical cord blood! Sometimes it just takes a minute or so for baby to make this giant transition onto “land” from the previous cozy water home.

This mama handled it like a champ. No rushing, no strangers vigorously rubbing baby, no whisking him away; just mama and baby transitioning together in peace. ✨

When we hyper-focus on every contraction, the body can stay stuck in adrenaline. This mama chose a different path, she noticed early labour signs and went about her day until things naturally shifted. When we trust the body and stop over-analysing, labour often unfolds smoothly and instinctively.
Words
🎥• Some people rest, I needed some fresh air, and to laugh 😆

The coolest thing about birth is that if you really listen to your body, it will tell you exactly what it needs. And No, it’s not always what everyone else needs.

My body had been prepping for labor for days, and every time contractions started, they would stop. I had been in the house for two days just waiting. The minute I left the house, went about my day, letting go of control, and realizing I needed to laugh, that’s when contractions started and they never did stop (expect for while I sat at my sons football game) funny how that works..
I trusted my body, and in turn, my body trusted me.
