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

I resonate with this so deeply. My third baby was posterior too, and it was, without a doubt, my most physically demanding labour. The kind that takes you right to your edge and asks, “can you keep going?”

And somehow… we do.

Women are so much more capable than we’re ever led to believe. Even when it’s long, even when it’s intense, even when everything in you is questioning it, the body knows.

These are the births that really show you what you’re made of 💪🏻💛 words by

From this incredible mama’s own words…
“I never thought I would share this video online because it feels so vulnerable and raw BUT i also know that these stories and videos are medicine to women. So I hope that it reminds you of how powerful and capable you are ❤️

This was physically my hardest birth and I have had 3 babies, all at home, outside of the medical system. He was posterior and my body was pushing for hours before I finally felt him close to emerging.

There were many moments I thought to myself how can I possibly keep going, but we can and we do. Birthing in the comfort of my home with my family is unmatched, and I know had I have been in a hospital there would have been immense pressure for intervention given how long it was taking and the position he was in.

Ps. When I am looking over to my side I am looking at my 3 year old who watched the last 2 hours of my labour and birth. 🥰🙏🏻”

Sometimes in those final moments, partners take such an encouraging and active role as they want to feel part of this transformative moment.
A gentle nudge, a few words of encouragement, and a quiet reminder that she’s so close. 🤍

Sometimes birth doesn’t wait for the perfect moment… or the perfect place.

✨ There’s something truly breathtaking about welcoming a baby into the world under open skies. This beautiful mama chose to birth outdoors, and the energy, strength, and serenity in this space feel almost otherworldly. ✨

In her own words:

“We are nature. Birth is nature. Wild, wise, intuitive, and deeply powerful. Magic happens when we fully surrender and trust the sacred process of birth.

In the depths of my labor, my daughter made it very clear to me that she wanted to be born outside. So I followed her lead! She arrived in her own time, under the open sky, into my own hands, right in our backyard. Surrounded by a loving birth team, her father, her grandmother, and her big brother, I was able to guide her home to us.

I’ll forever remember the magic of this day, and I am eternally grateful for the loving support I received from my birth team. Who you invite into your birth space matters. Choose those who honor your intuition, respect your choices, and hold you steady when you need it most.”

The sound of a woman giving everything she’s got. Pure strength 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

🎥 En su cita inicial esta embarazada me comentó que en su proceso anterior estuvo bien cerca de una depresión posparto, “en parte porque confié en mi proveedor y terminé en una cesárea sin indicación.” Añadió: “no quiero pasar por lo mismo. Aunque el momento de la verdad es el momento del parto, yo pienso que si me hubiera dejado tranquila lo hubiera podido hacer.”

Las contracciones recurrentes iniciaron a la media noche y empezaron a tener un patrón más activo cerca de las 5am. Cuando llegamos a su hogar todo estaba fluyendo en perfecta salud.

Ella estuvo moviéndose libremente. Aprovechamos algunas posiciones en la cama cuando ya estaba bien adelantada y luego se fue al inodoro a pasar algunas contracciones. Estando en el inodoro, rompió fuente de manera bien evidente.

Pujó unas pocas contracciones en la cama y luego algunas otras en la silla de parto. Tan pronto la piscina estuvo lista, entró al agua. En la piscina estuvo en “squats”, arrodillada, acostada de lado, reclinada… moviéndose y cambiando posiciones.

En cuclillas hubo mayor descenso y en esa posición coronó. La alentamos a pararse para favorecer con la gravedad el nacimiento e inmediatamente lo hizo y con una nueva contracción nació la cabecita. Con toda la intensidad de que ya bebé venía ella tocó la cabecita de su bebé y el cuerpito nació sin mayor esfuerzo.

Un VBAC baby de 9 libras 7oz luego de un proceso de parto de 8 horas con un expulsivo gentil de 1 hr. Aprovechando siempre los cambios de posiciones a su favor.

Su bebé anterior pesó 6 libras 7 oz. Exactamente 3 libras menos que su hermanito. Como ella pensaba desde el principio, posiblemente con paciencia se hubiese librado de aquella cesárea que se le realizó sin justificación médica.

🎥• 🤱🏼🗣️ “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.
