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

Wrapping up this year a little early…

This year has been full. I’ve walked alongside so many incredible women and families through their births, released my first book 📕 Birthing with Trauma and Fear, and felt the support of a community here that fuels my passion for education and empowered birth 💪🏻🧡

But after the recent tragedy in Bondi and its ripple through the Jewish community, my heart and energy are shifting. For now, I need to draw closer, to my family, to the clients I’m committed to, and to my Jewish community who need one another more than ever.

Antisemitism in Australia has been rising for years. My own children have felt it at school. I’ve felt it online. And after my latest post about the tragedy, the ugly messages came in. Some people quietly stepped away, a reminder that hatred doesn’t always scream; sometimes it reveals itself in silence. It’s gut-wrenching to see how quickly humanity can fracture, and how many are willing to turn away when Jews are hurting.

In the birth world too, I’ve watched silence take hold. Over the last couple of years, some have stayed quiet in the face of antisemitism, yet been vocal when sharing propaganda and hate-filled narratives. That silence has consequences. It shapes what becomes acceptable. And I think deep reflection is overdue.

Even when people close to me suggest I take off my Star of David for safety, I won’t. My grandfather survived the Holocaust. I refuse to erase who I am out of fear in 2026 ✡️🙏🏻

So for now, I’ll be pouring more energy into what matters most: my family, my close community, and the women and families I continue to support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Wishing you a peaceful holiday season and a gentle start to 2026, with renewed strength, hope, and love 🧡

I’m holding hope that 2026 brings a shift toward compassion and humanity. And when I return, it will be with renewed energy, purpose, and steadiness. Love, Moran ❤️

I was planning to post a simple Happy Chanukah 🕎 today to my fellow Jewish followers.
Instead, I received a call that stopped me in my tracks, news of the tragedy that has just taken place in Sydney.

I feel heartbroken, shaken, and deeply saddened. And while it devastates me, I can’t say I am shocked. When antisemitism is tolerated, minimised, or left unchallenged in this country, it creates an environment where harm becomes possible and where Jewish people are left carrying fear alongside their grief.

As I light the first candle tonight, it won’t be a casual or celebratory moment alone. I will be lighting it with intention, for every Jewish life lost, for every family affected, and for a community that continues to hold both resilience and sorrow at the same time.

Chanukah is about light existing even in darkness. Tonight, that light feels heavy but it is also defiant. We are still here. And we will continue to show up, remember, and speak out.

“Are you all ready for number 7?!”

How would you feel if your parents kept announcing another baby?

Excited? Overwhelmed? Proud? Pushed aside?
Probably a mix of things and all of them are valid.

Big families can be full of love and complexity.
Kids don’t just adjust automatically, they feel, they adapt, they grow.

I’m curious…
What would your honest reaction have been?

In our culture, once a baby is born, all eyes go to the baby.
The celebration, the attention, the noise, all shifts instantly.

So watching this father walk into the room and go straight to his daughter…
before the baby, before the excitement, before anything else,
it hits differently.

Not because the baby isn’t important.
But because she is too.

She didn’t disappear the moment she became a mama.
And in that one quiet choice, he showed her exactly that.

✨We don’t talk enough about the moment after.

When a woman has just crossed the threshold of birth and her body is still humming with power.

Sometimes she reaches for her baby instantly.

Sometimes she needs a minute to breathe… to feel her legs again… to let her nervous system settle.
Both are normal. Both are sacred.

Birth is a rite of passage, and every woman should be supported in the way she needs to arrive on the other side.

💪🏼 YOU CAN DO AMAZING THINGS 💪🏼

🎥 and repost ➡️ by
Look at how this incredible mama pushes her baby out into her husband’s hands! We get choked up, every time, being witness to births like these with women who are so strong as we get to hold them in that strength. This family has had two babies in our care and it was so beautiful to get to witness their homebirth with their second baby boy.

During the labor, things moved quickly, as they often do with a 2nd baby. She paged us with bloody show that was soon followed by contractions. When we arrived, we knew she was in active labor based on her affect and how often her contractions were coming. She found herself grunting in the bathroom and then pushing before she could believe it was happening. During her birth, we heard some decelerations in her baby’s heart rate and Charli asked to do a vaginal exam to assess where exactly her baby was in her pelvis in an attempt to help the baby be born. We assess different components of a labor to recommend things to our clients that are within their control (ie move into a different position) to protect the wellbeing of themselves and/or their baby. This is a big part of our skill set as homebirth midwives, is low intervention overall and often really works! This client followed our guidance, moved into a knock-knee position, as we had assessed that position would likely open her pelvis in just the right place for her baby, and it absolutely did. Just after changing her position, she pushed her baby out with such power!

You can also see here how midwives manage a nuchal cord at home. We’re deliberate AND calm. This nuchal cord was the very likely cause of the heart rate decelerations, so we were pretty sure it would be coming, and with a skilled provider this sort of thing can be handled without panic and does not need to be made into an emergency. As sweet Walt is being born, we simply help him to be born through the cord and resolve it just as his mama is birthing his body.

“How this moment feels…”

It’s the mix of everything, relief, love, exhaustion, disbelief, pride.
That moment you finally hold your baby and the world goes quiet for a second… even if your birth wasn’t perfect, or easy, or anything like the plan.

It’s the moment your brain is trying to process what your body just did, your heart is racing, your hands are shaking and it might take you a little while to come back into your body.

Every mum deserves to feel safe in this moment.
Every mum deserves to feel supported.
Every mum deserves to feel like this, grounded, held, and seen.

Birth might look different for everyone, but this moment?
It’s universal.

“There is a secret in our culture, and it’s not that birth is painful. It’s that women are strong.” ~ Laura Stavoe Harm

🌸🎥Words by this beautiful mama -
“I experienced a pain free, supernatural birth not because I am strong- but because God is faithful.

Three pushes.
No pain.
No fear.
No doubt.
Just a holy stillness and the overwhelming presence of YHVH surrounding me.

He met me in the waves.
He breathed through every contraction.
He delivered my daughter with His own hands as mine caught her.
He showed me that when we surrender fully, He moves fully.
All glory to God.”
