HypnoBirthing Brisbane 2Life Doula Childbirth Education

My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Moran, and doing her private birthing classes to equip us with the knowledge and confidence for birth.Moran is a breath of fresh air!! She’s so raw, honest and knowledgeable. She’s very direct and answers all your questions honestly.I honestly don’t know how I ever could imaging birthing without her classes!She teaches you everything you need to know, and equips your partner with the right tools to be the best possible support to you when the time comes.We won’t have the privilege of having her in our labor, but both my husband and I feel so confident, all thanks to Moran and her classes! We couldn’t be more thankful, grateful and lucky to have met you, and received your education and wisdom.

I was recommended Moran during my first pregnancy. At the time I thought that being prepared and informed would be enough to experience the natural birth that I wanted. I also could not afford her services after paying for my obs. The truth is, I was part of a system that was not supporting me having a natural birth. Despite all my and my husband preparation, I fell into the statistics of cascade of (unecessary, painful, dangerous) interventions. I have been gaslighted and missled by my chosen medical team.When I got pregnant again I spotted signs that I was being fed into this same system again as i tried for the same team. Having them finding new excuses for denying me the most natural experience of birth is what opened my eyes. This is when I contacted Moran.Moran became my doula because she understood each of my feelings from experience. She made me feel safe and supported and did not count her time even before I became her client. So I fired my obstetrician at 35 weeks and went with my gut feeling.Moran and I worked so well that I never made it to the hospital! I would change my experience for nothing. This was by far one of the most amazing empowering experience of my life.I have been sharing her contact with all my pregnant friends ever since. In a perfect world, all women would have a Moran for their birth.

Moran is a powerhouse! Her wisdom, passion & nurturing nature allowed us to have the positive birth experience that we dreamed of. Thank you Moran for all the work you do to educate and empower mothers (and fathers) and change the way we look at birth!

Moran was amazing! She is so knowledgable and helpful, answered all the questions we had, we both feel so much more confident and aware going into our first birth with all the resources and training Moran gave us. We had one-on-one sessions as we couldn't make the classes. It was a joy being coached and learning Moran! Thank you so much, Moran for all your help and counsel!

I felt drawn to Moran very early on in my pregnancy with my second child. We had birthed our first in the US and had already had a wonderful experience with our doula in California. The moment I spoke to Moran, I knew we had found the calm, strong, wise, flexible, grounded support I was looking for. She became a part of our team, with Fran, early on, and remained the one constant, when we decided to switch to a home birth with our wonderful midwife.Moran lead me towards resources that assisted me to work through any blocks and fears that came up for me the second time around. Mediations, tools, videos… she really meets with where you are at and guides you so beautifully. My first birth was an incredible water birth. But each pregnancy come with it’s own set of ‘things’ to work through. Our pre birth meet ups left me always feeling like she had our backs. My husband, daughter, (son to be) and me. She was always available via text if questions came up.The weeks leading up to my son’s birth were quite intense. Floods. Loss of power. Weeks and weeks of labor cramps. Scans saying my son was HUGE. She really held space for me while I worked through it.The day of my birth, she was truly my anchor. It makes me emotional. She would weave in and out of the room at the right moment. She knew how to support me and my husband also. Holding space for him to be there for me. She guided me into positions and respected my calm, zen space. She has an intuition with positions… because she tapped into what I needed and was an integral part of our journey in birthing my son earthside, so gracefully. I am forever grateful to her. She was a rock for me. A river rock perhaps… becasue she also knows how to flow!Also, not to overlook… Her doula toolkit is incredible. The hip squeezes, massage, essential oils. I felt such a sense of safety knowing she had years of experience holding space for women in any birth setting. She arrived the days after and brought good energy and support, as always.I circle back to the idea that Moran was an anchor for me. We couldn’t have found or chosen a better doula and human to be by our sides. Much love to you, Moran!!!!S,B,S & A xxx

After my first birth didn’t quite go how I would’ve liked due to being told I wasn’t ready to push when I actually was, I was adamant that I wanted a doula for my second. A voice in the room that could advocate for me and help give guidance on natural ways to progress. After a lot of research I found Moran and I can not recommend her highly enough. She was exactly what I needed in that room and was able to remind me of my own strength. Thanks to her belief in me and ability to spark belief in myself I was able to have a beautiful unmedicated natural birth. Leading up to the birth she spent time helping to equip me with techniques that would help me through labour, and getting to know my partner and myself. After the birth her postnatal check ins were a breathe of fresh air. Moran is a beautiful soul and I would be honoured to have her at any future births.
