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

When even dad didn’t see it coming 😅💦”

This mama birthed her baby in the water, at home, surrounded by calm and her husband’s face says what so many partners feel in that instant: “Wait… she’s actually doing it!” He looks completely in awe of her combined with a bit of shock 😂

Save this to share with your birth team or anyone who needs a reminder of what trusting birth truly looks like.

✨ She did it!!! ✨
And the look on her face says it all.
This incredible mama birthed her baby on the toilet (the “dilation station”) right in the comfort of her own home.

Birth unfolds perfectly when women are trusted, supported, and safe to follow their instincts.

🕊️ NORMALISING SILENCE AFTER BIRTH

Not every birth needs to be filled with noise.
Sometimes, what a woman needs most after her baby is born… is silence. 🤍

That first minute when the baby’s on her chest, the cord still pulsing, the room still, it’s not the time for chatter or busy hands. It’s a sacred moment. A woman has just crossed worlds to bring life earthside.

The medical team doesn’t always realise how much those first few moments shape the memory of birth. The tone of the room matters. The volume matters. The energy matters.

Silence lets her arrive. It gives the parents space to absorb what just happened, to meet their baby, to cry, to breathe, to honour it.

We need to normalise that.
A quiet room isn’t awkward, it’s reverent.

🙏🏻 Sometimes, faith is the thing that carries us through birth.

For some women, it’s the anchor that keeps them steady through every wave, every surge, every moment that feels uncertain.
This mama leaned deeply into her faith and it shows in how she moved through her labour with such calm, trust, and surrender.

Faith doesn’t have to look one way.
For some, it’s prayer.
For others, it’s trusting their body, their baby, their instincts.
For me, it’s both, faith in something bigger and faith in ourselves as women.

Did you feel like faith helped you get through your labour?

✨ What if fear wasn’t the first thing women were taught about birth?
What if we remembered that our bodies were designed for this?

This message is exactly what inspired me to write Birthing with Trauma and Fear, to help women come back to themselves and their innate wisdom.

🎥 Repost ➡️ • What if, instead of infusing women with fear about the very thing their bodies are designed to do, we openly shared what birth can truly feel, look, sound, and be like?

My mission isn’t to convince every woman to birth one certain way-it’s to remind her what she’s capable of. To help her take her birth back into her own hands, to make choices consciously and confidently-her choices, not anyone else’s.

I’m tired of hearing, “I’m so afraid of birth.” That’s like saying you’re afraid of breathing. Birth is what your body knows how to do-our only job is to surrender and let it.

And when I hear, “I could never birth like you,” I want to say: you already can. You have the same incredible organ-the uterus-the most powerful muscle in the human body. I don’t have special powers. I simply decided that birth belongs to women. Birth belongs to me. And birth belongs to you, too.

This is why I created Bombshell Birth-to simplify the science, the mindset, and the magic of birth into one empowering framework. To change the narrative from fear to freedom. To remind women everywhere:
We’re giving birth back to women-the way it was always meant to be, before our ancient knowledge, practices, and support were forgotten.

The golden hour after birth 🤍
That first hour after your baby is born matters more than most people realise.

It’s when your baby is wide-awake, alert, and ready to meet you. Skin-to-skin contact helps regulate your baby’s temperature, heart rate, and breathing, and it also triggers your body to release oxytocin, the hormone that helps the placenta be born and starts milk production and most importantly imprints the bonding process.

When we leave mum and baby undisturbed in that first hour, we see babies crawl to the breast and latch on their own. It’s not magic. It’s instinct.

Too often, that time gets interrupted for weighing, wiping, and checking. But most of those things can wait.
Your baby only has one first hour.

If you’re planning your birth, talk to your care provider about protecting that golden hour, skin-to-skin, no interruptions, and giving baby the chance to find the breast naturally.
