2Life Doula
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 creeping 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 Moran xx PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS AND CONTINUING EDUCATION Childbirth International Certified Doula Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator HypnoBirthing® ~ The Mongan Method Practitioner Sacred Pregnancy Instructor Birthing From Within Birth Art Mentor Placenta Encapsulation Specialist (PBI) Becoming Us Facilitator StillBirthday Doula APPA Placenta Arts Specialist May 2019 – Spinning Babies – Gail Tully May 2019 – HypnoBirthing ~ Mongan Method Bback Training March/April 2019 – Gathering the Knowledge – Sara Wickham March 2019 – We Birth Doula Conference March 2019 – HypnoBirthing Summit 2019 May 2018 – Gathering the Knowledge – Sara Wickham April 2018 – Post Term Dates – Sara Wickham March 2018 – Placenta Arts Specialist November 2017 – Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator May 2017 – Labour Progress ~ Sara Wickham May 2017 – Spinning Babies ~ Ginny Phang May 2017 – The Passage to Motherhood Conference 2017 September 2016 – Becoming Us Facilitator September 2016 – Gentle Birth, Pleasurable Parenting ~ Dr Sarah Buckley August 2016 Education for Normal Birth – Rhea Dempsey September 2014 – Stillbirthday Doula Certification May 2014 – Ancient Postpartum Tools and Techniques for Birth Workers – Julia Jones March 2014 – Birthing from Within Couples workshop – Treana Jones January 2014 – Aromatouch Workshop for Doulas – Midwife Faye Read November 2013 – Hypnobirthing® Practitioner October 2013 – Placenta Encapsulation Specialist Training October 2013 – Bloodborne Pathogens & Infection Control For Placenta Encapsulators Certificate – Biologix Solutions 12th September 2013 – Birthrites Healing after Caesarean – National Caesarean Awareness Day with special guest Rhea Dempsey Author, Childbirth Educator, Doula and Expert from the film “The Face of Birth” July 2013 – DONA International 19th Annual Conference July 2013 – 4 day Sacred Pregnancy workshop – Injidup WA June/July 2013 – a 5-week distance course Using Birth Art for Childbirth Preparation and Healing, presented and taught by Pam England – the author of Birthing from within June 2013 – Miscarriage, Stillbirth & The Doula presented by Heidi Faith founder of Still Birthday 15th May 2013 -The Science of Skin to Skin and Kangaroo Care Talk by Hope Parish PA-C, Daniela Jensen and Nancy Holtzman, RN IBCLC CPN 11th April 2013 – Family Centered Cesarean Birth Talk by William Camann, M.D director of obstetric anesthesia at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, and an Associate Professor of Anesthesia at Harvard Medical School 3rd of April 2013 – Creating a Positive BIrth Space in High Risk Care Talk by Talulah Gough – Doula 17th March 2013 – Power, Peace and Pleasure In Pregnancy, Birth and Mothering Talk by Dr. Sarah Buckley – Author of Gentle Birth Gentle Mothering 7th March 2013, Perth – Fundamentals of Belly Dance for birth workshop – BellydanceBirth® presented by Maha Al Musa |
