“Dear Moran, Thank you so much for all your support as a doula and as a friend, in helping our little Bowie into the world safely, and for taking such good care of us all! (You were the calm voice inside my head that I really needed to hear!) ”

“Dear Moran,
Thank you so much for your support before, during and after the birth of Tilda. I really appreciate your help, you are a great doula!! Thank you”

“We couldn’t say enough thanks to you that you helped us achieve this amazing VBAC. We wouldn’t get through this without you. You made me feel so confident and strong before and during birth…the outcome is so much better than my first experience. Send you a big love from my family:)”

“Dear Moran, We would like to thank you for your support and advice before, during and after the birth of our daughter Isabella.
Having you as our Doula was invaluable and we couldn’t imagine doing it without you.”

“Hi Moran, I just wanted to say a massive Thank you for our birth art session last week. The session gave me a real insight into what my fears were surrounding my up coming birth and I have since resolved many of them. Had I not participated in your birth art session this may have affected my birth in a negative way. I now feel a lot lighter and clear in my head so thanks so much for this! For any pregnant women out there considering giving birth art a go, I cannot recommend Moran enough, she is very calm, non judgmental and allowed me the space to figure out my own issues by myself. I think it is a must for all pregnant women, no matter how many children you may have birthed already. Thanks again.”

“There are few words that can express how I feel about the love, support, comfort, compassion, strength and caring that was given to me by Moran during my birth. She was the sister by my side through the journey holding my hands, stroking my head, reminding me to breathe exactly when I needed it. I will be forever grateful for every moment spent with her during that special time and will be telling my beautiful daughter about the amazing women who helped bring her into this world.”

“Hi Moran, I just wanted to express my sincerest gratitude for taking a morning on your weekend just for me to show me the power of Birth Art, even though I am not one of your doula clients. I was humbled by your willingness and your friendliness to help me work through what the power of birth art can do for me and other women during pregnancy. It was interesting what the final outcome was, and made so enjoyable by such a beautiful person like you. Once again thank you for your time, your direction and opportunity in learning and experiencing Birth Art. It was fantastic :) Look forward to meeting you again”

To my wonderful doula Moran, thank you so much for your caring support, I’m so glad I had you there at the birth of our little girl Lyla, I achieved the birth I wanted with your help, Gav and I couldn’t of done it without you and a huge thank you for all of the things you went out of your way to do for me that you didn’t have to do, you have a heart of gold! you really are a lovely lady.”

“Dearest Moran, Thank you! for your wonderful support, guidance, energy and beautiful spirit. You assistance throughout my pregnancy and birthing and aftercare was greatly appreciated. Although the outcome was not as planned I gained a great deal of empowerment and joy from allowing my body to do what it was designed to do! My baby benefited and I am grateful to you for the constant support while on this amazing journey. Thank you.

“We really appreciate you being there for us and giving us exactly the birth we wanted, because without you there to advocate for and support us things would have been very very different.” I can’t thank you enough, honestly I don’t think we would ever been able to have the birth we did without you, and everything ended up exactly as we planned.”

“Dear Moran, Thank you so much for supporting Emir and I through the birth of Ruben. Your gentleness, humour & soulful grace with your deep knowledge of birthing has enabled us to feel empowered throughout and deliver the natural birth we dreamed of.”

“Moran you are such a gentle soul. From the moment I met you, you were inviting and personal, I felt so comfortable around you & felt sincerity oozing from you. I absolutely loved seeing you “in action” during a homebirth we worked together & I know any mama would be lucky to have you as their doula. If only I was to have another baby………”

“Moran was an amazing Doula. Her presence during the birth made the entire experience calmer and more pleasant for both of us. Moran always seemed to know what was needed and when, a true blessing for us as first time parents. She was both physically and emotionally reassuring and allowed the father to really be there emotionally during the birth both for himself and for the mother. We’ve already recommended Moran to friends who are considering a doula.”

“Moran was a great support to me and my partner. I was informed and empowered and I felt supported throughout pre-birth and birth. We learned new skills and were provided with so much up to date information that helped us to make informed decisions. I felt that I had an advocate to relay my birth preferences to the medical staff and I loved that my partner had a special job to do as a support person at the birth. I was blessed to have Moran’s care and support before during and after our beautiful baby came into the world. She reassured me and motivated me when I needed it, she is a beautiful, bubbly person with a very good understanding of the needs of birthing women.”

“When I found out I was pregnant, my GP mentioned that my private health insurance would allow me to see an obstetrician who delivers at a private hospital in Perth’s western suburbs. Four months into the pregnancy, however, it became clear that the obstetrician was not a firm believer in the natural approach to birth that we had been researching until then. At that point, we decided to book a place at the local Birth Centre and also took up Hypnobirthing classes in preparation for the big day. Six months into the pregnancy I met Moran Liviani. Immediately I knew she would make an amazing doula. She came on board with a bang! On our first official meeting at home she brought with her loads of useful materials on all aspects of birth (e.g. Strep B testing, breaking of one’s membranes, when to call the Birth Centre) and she was instrumental in helping us draw up an informed birth plan. Our son Leon was due to arrive on April 1, 2014. When I started feeling sensations on March 30, I called Moran who suggested I might be in early labour and to “take it easy”. Moran texted me regularly to check how things were going and I felt immensely supported and cared for. On April 1 surges were stronger and Moran arrived home to help us labour actively in preparation for birth at the Centre. By midnight we made our way to the Birth Centre. I had chosen not to be examined on arrival and Moran made sure I was left alone so I could labour in peace. She suggested I take a shower (which was amazing), looked deep into my eyes while assuring me: “You are so strong” and held my hand while I pushed Leon out in the lovely birth pool. She also stayed by my side as I peacefully delivered the placenta. Having a child is a life-changing experience and bringing them to the world under the care of such a knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging doula made it unique and unforgettable. Thanks Moran for all your help. We love you!”

“To our special Moran, Where to begin! Thank you for coming into our lives – for being our support & guidance to ensure we had the best experience on the arrival of Blayke. You were my rock & support during labour, and your strength & guidance helped me through my most difficult challenge yet! Your continued love, support & friendship during these first few weeks with Blayke has also been invaluable & for that, I know you will always play a special role in Blayke’s life and have a special place in our hearts. A new friendship has been formed that I cannot wait to soon flourish.”

“Darling Moran, My pillar of strength, love and hope. You kept me strong, you kept me fearless, you kept me feeling safe. During the most memorable time of my life you were there for me. Holding my hand, whispering words of positivity in my ear, rubbing my back, massaging my shoulders. What would I have done without you? I could have tripped, I could have fallen, I could have crumbled. But you kept me confident and focused and guided me through. We shared something truly special that day. A sisterly bond that I will never forget. Thank you for being there when I needed you the most. I will cherish your love and support forever.

“The first time I heard about placenta encapsulation I was admittedly a bit turned off, but I am so glad I found out more about it and realised how beneficial it is because I have never felt better. Even after a fairly difficult birth, my body and mind recovered so quickly. My hormones feel balanced and my mood has been amazing, I have been absolutely high on life. I believe the placenta pills have worked wonders and I would recommend them to every mother.”

“2LifeDoula was awesome with organising and providing my placenta encapsulation. We were extremely pleased with the amount of information Moran provided – before, during and after. I wish my placenta was twice the size so I could have had more! Thanks Moran for being wonderful. Highly recommended!”

“I attended a birth with Moran recently and was automatically comforted by her presence, I couldn’t speak highly enough of her as a doula and recommend her to anyone I come across who is considering a doula. Moran was an incredible source of both strength and nurturing and it was an honour to work in her presence”

“If you are thinking of having your placenta encapsulated I recommend Moran highly. She was so easy to deal with, very calming and a great finished product. I had my tablets within 24 hours of birth so was able to get straight into recovery mode.”

“Placenta encapsulation with 2life Doula was massively beneficial for me in the first weeks after having a baby. Very professional, always contactable and a ‘lifesaver’ in terms of balancing my hormones. I can’t imagine those first few days without having had it done. I’m so grateful to Moran for her service, care and kindness and for all that she did when I had Claudia. I can’t imagine having done it all without her.”

“I just wanted to say a big thank you for being so quick and helpful in returning the capsules, we really appreciate it :-) It made such a huge difference to us at a time when everything was super busy! :-) I feel like the capsules have definitely given me more energy and have helped with baby blues. Thank you again xxx ”

“Moran comes highly recommended after using her services following the birth of our little girl in Sept 2014. Aside from her prompt and efficient service, her warm and friendly nature made it all the more a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be using Moran again when Baby no.2 comes along! :)”

“As I have been diagnosed with Hashomotos Disease, due to hypothyroidism, my main concern was not being able to cope with low energy and post natal depression after the baby was born. We were really thankful my placenta was encapsulated – my husband and I both heard of the many benefits and to me, even if it would help in the slightest, then I saw a benefit. Moran was just so responsive to my questions, I felt so confident in her services and we had the pills in no time. So many friends asked me whether I got the day three blues but nope, to my surprise I felt completely normal and was able to enjoy our new baby. I will definitely use Moran for my future pregnancies! Thanks Moran.”

“Moran was amazing to deal with. At very short notice she came to collect my placenta and the turn around of actually having the capsules in our hand was fantastically quick. She communicated directly with my husband to make all the arrangements and answer all of our questions. I would highly recommend placenta encapsulation to any new mum, it not only sped up my recovery from the caesarean Im absolutely sure it helped with my hormones and good spirit despite not having the birth of worked so hard for. ”

“I had a great experience having my placenta encapsulated. Moran was able to be contacted no matter what day or time. The turn over was a lot quicker than I expected. I would def recommend Moran to my friends who are pregnant or planning a bub.”

“The service and product was amazing and I swear it works! Hubby said we are doing this again if we are blessed with more. Thank you for fitting us in and giving me the opportunity of using our placenta this way”

“The service was fantastic. Moran was very friendly and responded to my emails quicker than I anticipated. She collected the placenta not long after the birth and had the tablets to me the following day. I was so impressed with her service and very glad that I chose her for my placenta encapsulation.”

“Thank you for such a quick and efficient service. You were always available to answer questions and provide encouragement. I am very happy with the positive effects I have had from taking the placenta capsules.”

“I really enjoyed the course and it was particularly useful for my partner who didn’t have time to read lots of books and enjoyed the opportunity to ask questions.”

“I was recommended to 2lifedoula by my hypnobirthing teacher and friend who had also used Moran. I was not only taught through these classes but also read about the benefits of it through the 2lifedoulas information and website. I booked to have mine done days before giving birth which was no dramas at all for Moran. She welcomed my questions and answered them all with so much detail and positiveness and I had no doubt that placenta encapsulation was the right decision for me and my baby. I started taking them as soon as I got them back and immediately felt more energised and my hormones returned to normal and I just felt an overall wellness. I even skipped a couple of days to see the difference and when I took them again I knew they were doing something for me. Overall extremely happy and would defiantly recommend this to anyone considering. I sure will be using Moran to do mine again next time around. Thanks again”

“At the start of 2014 I met you at a positive birth meet, the following month I met you again and as I left that day I knew that if the doula we had for our first pregnancy was not available, you would be perfect choice for our second pregnancy. As faith had it, you were the lady for the job. We met again at the end of May. Scott and I both had an instant connection and our birth journey with you began.
Our private hypnobirthing sessions were completed in the comfort of our home and you were so flexible with Myles, making it all the more enjoyable. Both Scott and I felt so relaxed and at ease in your presence, able to say and do whatever we needed. The education you gave us was invaluable, while also empowering on so many levels for both Scott and I.
You made yourself available whenever I had a question and we really felt like you valued us, helping to build the trust we needed in our birth environment. Our precious little angel Alyssa came sooner than expected, the night we were due to have our last hypnobirthing session, which had been cancelled as Scott and I had caught a cold a few days earlier and needed rest. Your presence at Alyssa’s birth was the support that both Scott and I both needed, a gentle reassuring voice that kept us moving in the right direction. Your bubbly smile and calm nature was just perfect for the birthing environment we had created. Some 6 and a half hours later, Alyssa was born in the water, in the comfort of our home.
When I think back to my labour and how you helped I remember laughing together, your light touch massage (and firmer massage that always seemed to come at just the right time), you reminding me to breath the two times I got off track, you pouring warm water over my back when I got into the birth pool (the most incredible feeling ever), you holding my hands when I had my needles before getting my stitches and seeing you clean out the birth pool afterwards. And after that beautiful night you were still in contact every couple of days to see how things were going and to answer more of my questions.
Your role in Alyssa’s birth was so valuable, more than words could really express. We were so blessed to have met you and been able to share our birth journey with you. The birthing mummas of Perth are so lucky to have you in their community. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

“To Moran our amazing doula, you helped make our birthing experience a positive memory. Through your support and education in the HypnoBirthing classes before the birth we were able to apply it to the birth of our beautiful Nausica and learn more about ourselves. We are truly thankful and grateful for your support during the birth. My birth didn’t go according to plan as I developed pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome but you helped me get through it as calmly as I could which resulted in my quick recovery in hospital and a healthy baby girl. It was all the little things that got me through like your words of encouragement and positivity, massages, speaking with the midwives, being able to give Llan a rest, and that every decision I had to make was the right one no matter what I chose. You will always be a special part of our lives as you helped bring our precious Nausica into the world. Thank you for being our doula, you are an inspiration and I hope more parents get to experience a positive birth in all circumstances.

“I have experienced depression a couple times in my life and have more recently had some anxiety battles, which is probably the main reason I chose to have my placenta encapsulated. Even though there may not be scientific research backing up the claimed benefits, I figured it wasn’t worth the risk & potentially getting Postpartum Depression. I had a beautiful baby boy and have been able to enjoy every second with him, and didn’t even experience any day 3 baby blues! I have been breastfeeding with no supply issues and just love it and have also always had sleeping problems but happily rested when I could & somehow had the energy I needed when I didn’t think I would find it. I will most definitely be using 2Life Doula for future babies. Thanks so much Moran!! x”

“Moran – thank you so very much! You really helped Stephen and I to understand the process and feel confident within ourselves and with each other. Although it all didn’t quite go as planned I have no regrets and know that Hypnobirthing helped me to make the right decisions for myself and for our gorgeous boy Samuel. He is the most content and calm little person and I can’t help but think that because we weren’t stressed he knew when he arrived that the world was an OK place :)
We will be planning the next one soon so I’ll be booking in that refresher course!
xx ”

“I knew how preparation and knowledge were key to a positive pregnancy, birth experience and the time after birth. This is why my husband and I decided to take Hypnobirthing classes and have the support of a doula on the birthing day of our first child. Our child was born on January 3rd 2015. We were blessed with the most positive birth we could have ever dreamt of. It was absolutely perfect, in every single way. The loving and respectful prenatal preparation provided by our doula also gave us the foundations for a healthy, positive and happy time after our child’s birth. Simply and truly, I can say that, since the last month of pregnancy, my husband and I have been having the best time of our life. To our precious Hypnobirthing practitioner, doula, and birth companion, we have no other words other than a wholehearted…. Thank You Moran Liviani.”

“Dear Moran, We can’t thank you enough for all support & guidance you have given us during our pregnancy & birth. You are amazing! We feel so positive about Evan’s birth & the decisions we had to make on the day. We believe the outcome could have been different without you by our side. So thank you so much!”

“I just wanted to say a few words to express my sincerest thanks to Moran Liviani
The mind of a doula is clear and calm
The arms of a doula is supportive and strong
The soul of a doula is generous and gentle
The heart of a doula is bigger than you could ever imagine .
And the mommy that is supported by this magical being is blessed beyond words
My dearest Moran. I could never thank you enough for all you have done! For introducing Julian and myself to versions of ourselves we did not imagine we would meet .. And every bit of love and light you shared during my entire pregnancy . We could not have gone through the 50 hours of my labour without you! It was long and didn’t go exactly as we planned but still perfectly positive experience thanks to you!”

Moran was truly an amazing support to us during the preparation before birthing our first child and a loving and experienced guide to all things gentle birthing which we are extremely grateful for. We highly recommend others who intend on giving birth naturally to complete the HypnoBirthing course with Moran. Her calm nature allowed us to feel totally at ease throughout the course and she really did provide for us all that we could have ever hoped for from a doula. Thank you, Moran!

“Moran is a beautiful facilitator, being genuine, sensitive and so knowledgable and caring. She helped us to work through our fears leading up to the birth in such a gentle and loving way. This course helped us so much to feel grounded and confident in our birth choices which led ultimately to a gentle and peaceful birth. Despite our birth not going exactly to plan, what we learnt in the course from Moran enabled us to remain calm and surrender to the birth. Moran continued to provide us with support in the lead up to the birth and afterwards showing such a genuine desire for us and our babies best wishes. Moran also encapsulated my placenta for me which I believe helped enormously during a stressful and hormonal first week post partum. I could not recommend Moran enough to be part of your birth journey, we’re endlessly grateful that she has been part of ours.”

“I must admit that I was initially a bit unsure about eating my own placenta(!) but after researching about it I rationalized that the animal kingdom do this all the time and at the very worst it can’t hurt. What I experienced however was exactly everything it claimed to offer and more. Whether I would have had the same experience without it or not I can’t say but I would definitely do the same again with any future children and would definitely recommend placenta encapsulation to anyone and would recommend 2LifeDoula as a friendly, helpful, professional and knowledgeable place to have the procedure done. ”

“I Just felt really great! I some how missed the emotional roller coaster and day 3 blues despite being re-admitted for 3 days. I also had plenty of energy despite sleeping one hour at a time. I highly recommend placental capsulation for it’s evidence based benefits and Moran was a pleasure to work with. I also did some of my own research and the way that Moran prepares the pills are the best and most effective way. Thanks heaps!! Will be back for round two!”

“I decided to have my placenta encapsulated while I was in labour. Moran was a pleasure to deal with and she very prompt in getting things organised. I felt that it really helped regulate my hormones and I didn’t get any baby blues!”

“Extremely pleased with the results and very fast turnaround time by Moran at 2LifeDoula. The entire process was carried out professionally and respectfully which we appreciated at such a precious time for us. Thank you again, we will definitely be using your services with our future pregnancies. ”

“My first pregnancy was a beautiful one ( hard but lovely ) I went into labor naturally or so we thought…
Turns out my baby was extremely sick and I eventually had a c section. Due to this my recovery was extremely long and my son was taken to NICU in a completely different hospital.
Near the end of my pregnancy with my second all the emotions of uncertainty and anxiety that I didn’t get to experience with my first because it was so quick – came flooding back. I was an emotional wreck the 3.5 last weeks of my pregnancy especially because I wanted to try a successful VBAC. Due to all the worry and concerns my mental stability was monitored by my loved ones and the process of preventing PND came into plan as we were uncertain if it would continue after baby was born.
Sure enough I had a ” successful ” VBAC ( still had lots of severe issues during delivery ) but we found once i started taking the capsules created even though it was difficult with two babes under 2 I managed… tandem fed, bleeding stopped so much sooner then my section, I had energy etc… the benefits worked for me and my hormones were manageable. No PND and anxiety is decreased immediately. I still have some 15 weeks later…
But saving those for some hard weeks haha”

“I had a traumatic birth and lost nearly 2 litres of blood during delivery. Although I was unable to stand fully upright due to several episiotomies and a lot of stitches, I left the hospital after 2 days and collected my placenta capsules on the way home. I felt AMAZING after 2 days of taking the capsules! I also had so many compliments about how great I looked! I honestly believe it was because of the capsules even though I eat very healthily. I have recommened 2LifeDoula placenta encapsulation to so many friends and clients and I will definitely do it again if we have another baby. The service was professional, very informative and extremely fast. I cannot recommend 2LifeDoula enough!”

“Dear Moran, Just a quick note to say thank you for all your love and support for the birth of Scarlett. Having you around to lean on made it so much easier for us. You gave us both confidence before and during the birth and helped us to achieve the birth we wanted. You are a wonderful, kind and loving person and I look forward to having you involved if (when?!) we have another pregnancy.”

“I was recommended to 2lifeDoula through my lovely doula Fe. Everything was arranged promptly and Fe dropped off my placenta after my birth to Moran. Less than 24 hours later (and still in post pregnancy bliss!), Moran showed up at the door with my little container of goodness. Instructions were easy to follow and had I needed to contact her, all information was there. As this was my first birth, I didn’t have much to compare how I felt postpartum but I believe having this “supplement” aided me in my healing. I had (and have) great milk supply, I felt balanced and calm, I wasn’t overly emotional and didn’t seem to get the “baby blues”. In general, I didn’t feel the way people said I would feel, I felt much better. I would recommend this service in a heartbeat and will be doing it again and again for future bubbas! Thanks so much Moran”

“Dear Moran, I just wanted to give you some feedback from my experience with placenta encapsulation. I’ve taken my tablets on and off for the three months since I had my baby, and I can really notice the difference when I haven’t taken them for a few days! I was initially interested in placenta encapsulation as I have PCOS and was worried about my milk supply. I’m so glad as I went ahead with it as I have felt so many of the benefits; speedy recovery post c-section, an abundance of milk and a surprising amount of energy! Thank you so much!”

Cannot recommend and thank Moran enough for guiding Sarah and I through the pregnancy and birth of our first child. Moran, you will always have a special place in our hearts. You helped us turn belief into reality. You helped Sarah harness the empowerment every woman has inside to achieve a birth the way it’s meant to be. Thank you so much. xx

“Dear Moran, We would just like to let you know that we had a beautiful baby girl, Aurelia on Thursday afternoon.
The labour was amazing and the skills that you were able to pass onto us were just incredible and invaluable to our birthing experience. Whilst things didn’t quite go to plan, we did end up having a natural birth with no pain relief and I know I felt so calm throughout the whole experience and really could just trust my body to do what it needed to (can’t say the same for Adam haha, but he was an amazing birth partner, and the skills he learnt during the course definitely helped me immensely).
So a big, big thank you to you and all of your advice, words cannot express how truly thankful we all are. Aurelia is such a beautiful calm little one and we just couldn’t be happier!”

“Thank you Moran, my recovery was so much easier because of you!”

“My husband and I attended the hypno birthing course and went away feeling more relaxed about what we were going to be going through. Post birth I took the placenta capsules at my husbands suggestion. All my husbands friends warned him of the third post birth melt down but I felt fine. I had no melt down nor any emotional roller coaster. I felt like normal and I had a big increase in my milk which all the nears were surprised by. A large quantity of colostrum came through with milk coming through on day two.
I would definately use Moran and her services again.”

“I would like to say a big thank you for my placenta pills. Being a first time mom I had alot going on and you made this process to simple and stress free for me. The pills kept me feeling normal and most certainly my moods consistant during those first few weeks of intense change and emotion. I noticed the difference when I forgot to take them for a couple of days and instantly found myself in tears! Never forgot to take them again after that.
Thank you for being so prompt, proffesional and kind during this special time of my life. I am so happy I decided to get my placenta pills from you and have recommended yoir services to all my preggo friends!
Much love”

“I hesitated in the beginning but after serious consideration, there are no cons in doing it and I do not want to regret about it later. Really happy with the result :)”
“With the knowledge from the classes, both myself and my husband was confident about birthing naturally without pain relieve. Tested and Proven :)”

“I had a great experience with my Placenta Encapsulation through 2LifeDoula and would highly recommend! The turn around was exceptionally fast and delivered back to the hospital by Day 2. Although this is my first baby and I don’t have much to compare to, I truly believe that it assisted with my quantity and quality of milk supply, as well as balancing of hormones and energy. I will definitely do it again for baby number 2. Thanks Moran!”

” After my first birth I experienced multiple infections, low milk supply and baby blues. The second time around I was keen to try new things to help prevent this. I had an amazing water birth at a birth centre, my placenta was picked up immediately after birth. We were home four ours after birth and my capsules were delivered the next day. I did not experience any baby blues, felt my body recovered so much better and although I still had a low milk supply I didn’t find it as difficult to increase as I did the first time. I would definitely recommend 2lifedoula to other pregnant women and will be using again for next baby.”

“Doing the Hypnobithing course with Moran was the best thing we did throughout my whole pregnancy. I had been quite anxious leading up to the birth of my first baby and was looking for a way to help ease my nerves when I came across Hypnobirthing. Moran made us feel completely at ease from the very first moment we met her and her passion and excitement for the process of Hypnobirthing was infectious. The course gave my birth partners and myself the confidence to enter into my birthing journey feeling informed and empowered. Not only did the meditations help me to keep calm and focused during labour but it also helped me to bond on a deeper level with my baby during my pregnancy. Moran helped give me the courage and the support to have a natural drug free and positive birth experience. I am forever grateful for crossing paths with her and for doing the Hypnobirthing course. I think it’s an absolute must for all soon to be parents.”

“I’m so glad we chose to do the placenta encapsulation. Not only did I find that it helped to keep my hormones fairly balanced in those first few weeks after baby but it also gave me the stamina to get through those first few months when you are surviving on very little sleep. Even my husband noticed the effects it was having on me and when I was due to have another dose. I will certainly be doing the encapsulation with 2Lifedoula again and highly recommend it for any mothers to be.”

“After much research I opted for the placenta encapsulation , and of course as I do , I decided at the last minute. Worried I wouldn’t find anyone , Moran was there . She helped me through every step clarified any questions, didn’t hesitate to confirm pick up , communication was always clear and left open if I needed her. The arrival date of our Bub arrived and Moran was there within the first couple of hours and returned my capsules sooner than she stated. Highly recommend this service and Moran.”

“I would definitely recommend Placenta encapsulating to anyone :) 2life doula is so reliable and amazing at what she does! Just give it a go and see for ur self.”

“I am so glad I found Moran to do my placenta encapsulation. She was always quick to respond to any queries. She was affordable and would service my hospital location when many others wouldn’t. The pick up and drop off were so quick and easy. It was within 2 hours of me giving birth that Moran was at our hospital to pick up the placenta even when it was outside business hours.
My milk came in so quickly when I started to take the capsules, I could not believe how much energy I had and could not have been more pleased with my overall recovery. I have already recommended Moran to numerous friends and will definitively have my placenta encapsulated again for my next child.”

“As a first time mum I wasn’t sure of what to expect of my postpartum period, however after learning about placenta encapsulation I decided I would be silly not to use it as a great tool in supporting myself and my baby in the postpartum period. Moran was an absolute dream to deal with from first contact to delivery of my capsules and I would recommend her to anyone considering placenta encapsulation! Don’t think twice, you will absolutely not regret spending the money to support your recovery so effectively.”

“This was the third time I had my placenta encapsulated, the first was in London and I had a wonderful experience. The second was here in Perth but not with 2Life Doula, I did not have a great recovery and felt like I didn’t get as much from the capsules as I did the first time which is why I didn’t use that woman again for baby #3. The women who work with 2Life Doula are amazing, I felt like I knew them right off the bat, felt like they cared about me as a mother and also my baby. And even though it was a “business deal” I never felt like the transaction was about money. I also didn’t schedule my encapsulation until a few weeks before the baby came and they were very accommodating. I cannot recommend these ladies more! If I am brave enough (or crazy enough) to go for a fourth baby I hope j am fortunate enough to use them again.”

“Moran at 2Life Doula was wonderful to deal with. She was accommodating, respectful and provided an exceptional level of service that I cannot fault. Definitely something I will do again and am more than happy to recommend 2Life Doula to anyone thinking about placenta encapsulation.”

“I can’t recommend 2life encapsulation services more. Excellent communication, timely pick up and drop off, and the capsules worked amazingly well in keeping my spirits high post the birth of my twins. I had no baby blues, no 3 day tears and my milk came in quicker than expected. Would definitely use 2life services again, thanks!”

“I would highly recommend contacting Moran at 2LifeDoula to have your placenta encapsulated. She is very professional, quick to respond and made the process of having my placenta encapsulated such a breeze. I informed our midwives at the family birthing centre about our choice to have my placenta encapsulated and before I knew it Moran had organised for my capsules to be delivered to me soon after the birth of my baby boy. The capsules supported my body to heal quickly post birth, gave me energy to be able to cope with the sleepless nights, supported me to exclusively breastfeed my son (even with initial latching issues) and helped balance my emotions. I call them my ‘happy pills’ and couldn’t of survived that first month without them. I even have kept a few stashed away in the freezer, that I now take when I feel Im getting worn down and unwell and within hours I can feel their magical effect.”

“I could not recommend placenta encapsulation enough, I didnt get any baby blues, hardly bled, and had an increased milk supply. I was much happier and had a lot more energy, I wish I knew about it in my first pregnancy.”

“Moran helped me out last minute without any fuss when we were rushed to Brisbane Neo Natal. She was very professional and friendly. Great service.”

“Dear Moran… Where do we start? The positive impact you had on what was a beautiful birthing experience was by FAR the most valuable. We really can’t thank you enough for all the support, knowledge, insight, kindness & general awesomeness! We hope this gift conveys how much we appreciate you helping bring Finn into the world in the way we wanted. We could not have done it without you!
Lots of love, Alicia, Damien & Finn’

“Thank you Moran for your guidance and support during my pregnancy and birth of our daughter Pia. Having you as my doula was the best decision I have ever made. You taught us so much about the birthing process and without you I wouldn’t have been able to have such a positive, natural and intervention free birth X”

“Could not recommend Moran highly enough for both HynpoBirthing classes and placenta encapsulation. She is such a warm, genuine person who made both myself and my husband more confident in our birthing journey by providing excellent knowledge, insight and tips. She was so promt with the turnaround of our placenta encapsulation and it was such a hassle free experience that didn’t involve any thinking on our part at such a busy time!!
Thank you Moran,
Kate, Trevor and Elsie ( Born April 2015 naturally and intervention free
)”

“Moran was amazing. She gave me great advice and guidance and this allowed me to have the natural, drug free, relaxed and quick birth that I so badly wanted. I highly recommend her and I am so happy that we took her classes. I was given so much information that assisted me greatly in the lead up to my birth, the birth and the weeks following. I would also like to add that placenta encapsulation is one of the best things I have done – it made a huge difference to my energy levels, mood and healing. I would see Moran again in a heart beat and the added bonus is she is a total sweetheart
:) “

“What an amazing experience my hubby and I had doing Hypno birthing classes leading up to the birth of our son. Having had 2 previous caesareans, our decision to go a natural birth 3rd time around was not taken lightly. We were very apprehensive, that is, until we started our Hypno birthing journey with Moran. She taught us not to fear natural birth and that it should not be a medical procedure to birth your baby. She gave us the tools and knowledge to make our own informed decisions on how we brought our son into the world in a hospital environment. Without her we most certainly would not have achieved the natural drug free birth we so desperately wanted and achieved.
Thanks so much Moran. We couldn’t of done it without you!!”

“I absolutely love this service is available in Australia. 2LifeDoula had picked up my placenta before I even got to my room (I asked my husband if he had called our Doula and was amazed to hear he’d called immediately after birth and it had been collected already!!) Was home delivered in a beautiful container which looked lovely in my fridge. Health benefits are amazing. Would highly recommend to everyone giving birth xxx”

“After falling pregnant and getting past the initial excitement that we were going to be parents, I quickly realised how little I knew. My first trimester was a roller coaster of emotions – excitement, joy and an incredible love for this beautiful gift to feeling completely overwhelmed and scared of the unknown. When Hypnobirthing was introduced to me, I instantly connected with what it stands for and how it empowered women. Meeting Moran was a blessing, she brought this beautiful calmness to the room coupled with her knowledgeable and experience, instantly calmed me. After attending the classes, I no longer felt overwhelmed or fearful but rather found strength in the knowledge and skills I had learnt. My husband and I often talk about the confidence we found as a result of attending these classes and gaining a valuable insight into our birth. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and loving every second of it. I have surrounded myself with affirmations, regularly pull on the tools I have learnt and have such a sense of relief that its all going to be ok.”

I can not express enough how grateful I am for Moran. I left it to the last minute to organise my HypnoBirthing classes, and yet she was so kind and accommodating. Organising time immediately, to get me up to speed. I had been letting some fear and doubt creep in about birth, and after her informative and supportive classes, I left feeling empowered, secure, and prepared for my birthing experience. My daughter is now 5 months old, and I honestly believe it was the best investment to the most important day of our family’s life. ❤️

“Hi Moran, I just wanted to say a big thank you for your excellent, seamless service for my placenta encapsulation. My fiancé Brodie handled the process and it was so easy for him and the pills came so quickly! We are really grateful.”

“I can’t imagine anyone more caring or more passionate about supporting women in their births. There is no way I would have been able to achieve the birth I wanted without Moran’s support. She is incredibly knowledgeable and even more importantly she truly CARES. Every time I think back on my birth I am just so thankful I had Moran by my side throughout the entire process. She’s amazing!!”

“My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the HypnoBirthing sessions with Moran. Before attending we both had fears surrounding the idea of birth which we have been able to let go of because of what we have learnt. This is our first baby and after learning all about natural birthing and being informed of our choices we have both full walked away with feelings of empowerment. The woman’s body is an amazing creation and we are looking forward to birthing our baby together in confidence.”

“Moran was very caring through all our classes and answering any questions was never too much. She made both myself and my partner feel ready and at ease for the birth of our baby to come. Highly recommend her services.”

“Moran is amazing! I rang her at 34 weeks (3 weeks before Christmas) freaking out that I wasn’t going to be prepared to have my baby and she was able to make time for my husband and I to have some intensive sessions. They were informative, relevant and up to date to help us make the best decisions for our birth. She is calm, kind and understanding of all the possible fears new parents might be holding on to. My husband found her to be inclusive and supportive, while giving him the knowledge that he sorely needed to act as my voice during the birth. She has increased our confidence 10 fold heading into what used to feel like ‘the unknown’. Thank you Moran!”

“There are no words that can measure up to the reality of what Moran gave to our family as our doula and dear friend. We were young parents-to-be seeking support and knowledge entering into the biggest journey of our lives and we began the hypnobirthing classes with Moran to gain the tools to have the natural birth we wanted. She has created a beautiful environment in her cosy office and her energy is so warm and friendly. Me and my husband both felt comfortable with her straightaway and felt she truly cared about us and our experience.
We finished the classes with a very comprehensive set of knowledge about the emotional and physical aspects of birth, techniques to cope with the pain of labour and our options and rights navigating birth in a hospital environment. To this day I truly believe I would have had a completely different birth if it wasn’t for Moran.
She came to us at 2am in the morning when I had contractions and from then to when I delivered my son 8 hours later, she was my absolute rock. I still remember holding on to her and hearing her empowering words when I need to the most. She got me through every moment I felt like giving up. She is such a great support for dads too, my husband felt more confident and had the right tools to support me after the education we received. The hypnobirthing training also came together and helped me to cope with the pain during labour and achieve the natural, drug free water birth I wanted.
After the birth, Moran was very professional and quick with her process of placenta encapsulation and paid us a lovely postpartum visit at home too.
I could not recommend her enough to anyone who’s looking for support on the life changing journey of pregnancy and birth. She will be the best and most invaluable decision you make. For me, I had a lot of doubt and fears as a first time parent and she really made me believe in myself and my ability to be a mother. Thankyou Moran. I will forever remember you as part of the biggest day of my life and will be telling my son stories of the woman that helped me bring him into the world in the most beautiful way.”

Welcome Violet, a beautiful, inspiring home birth where mama brings her baby earth side completely on her own. (with the loving support of midwives present). I have waited over 30 births to see this and if I were to have another baby (which I am 100% not) this is how I would do it. To learn more about midwifery and childbirth options, watch the documentary this mom (in the video) co-created at : birthingbabies.ca.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Katie & Ben, for everything. For all the laughs, your friendship, your kind words, for sharing this day with me and for allowing me to share it with all of you.
