It's really hard to put into words how incredible Molly is, but I will give it my all. Getting pregnant with my first child, as a military spouse and not having my family and friends to physically be here for me during such a crucial time, was very challenging. Until my husband and I met Molly. I can say, whole heartedly, my pregnancy and birthing experience would not have been what it was, if it weren't for Molly. To my husband and I, Molly was more than a doula. She was an outlet. A confidon. Someone so personable that we had all of our trust in, with the pregnancy and birth of our precious daughter. Bringing a child into the world should always be a precious experience, it's a very personal one. Molly was there before she was born, educating us, answering new parent questions we knew nothing about, made us feel so supported. During my labor experience, I had back labor- the most excrusating back pain I've ever had, for the first 6 hours of my 12 hour labor and Molly gave me constant counter pressure all six hours without needing a break. How do I simply thank one enough for that alone? It was very important to me that I labor and give birth, without getting an epidural and Molly did not shy away from advocating for me. She knew what my wishes were in my labor experience, she knew what they meant to me and she cared about my wishes just as much as I cared about them. In my pregnancy and for all 12 hours of my labor, I felt so much trust and comfort in Molly. She would look into my eyes and see me and just with her eyes alone, I knew I was safe and I could trust her. I think any mother would agree, having this kind of trust with anyone in this experience is everything. Whenever a friend or family asks me if there's one thing I could recommend in their pregnancy I always say: find a Molly.

Ms. Molly made our journey to having CJ complete. Her support throughout my pregnancy was very comforting. She was always responsive to every text and phone call whenever my partner and I had any questions or a concerns. It was a peace of mind knowing that someone was available to help us in any way possible especially when you are in a town with no family. She came along to appointments and helped me understand a lot of things that I needed to know. On the day I was scheduled for my induction she was there by side helping with exercises and making sure I was calm and comfortable. Ms. Molly’s presence was always calming and peaceful. I am so glad she was part of our birth team!  Also Ms. Molly’s expertise helped us be effective and efficient with every contraction. Labor felt so purposeful because Ms. Molly gave us the tools we needed and the hands-on support. I truly believe our labor and birth experience was enhanced by her help. Ms. Molly has a gentle, patient, and calm approach. It was exactly what my partner and I needed. I highly recommend every mom to have Ms. Molly as their doula, her presence was such a blessing to us and we are always grateful for her.

Molly was our doula for the birth of our daughter in May of 2022. We were one of her first clients. She was absolutely amazing! I felt comfortable with her and like I could trust her from the very beginning. Even though she was new to being a doula at that time, she was very knowledgeable and really loved what she was doing and learning. She was always excited to teach me things and to help me prepare for my daughter's birth. She also kept in touch with me after our daughter was born and brought me a care package postpartum. Although my birth did not go exactly how I had planned, I know I couldn't have done it without Molly. She did not sleep or leave my side from the time I got to the hospital at 4 am until after I delivered at 11:11 pm. She brought me snacks, put counter pressure on my back, helped me relax with oils and music, listened as I cried, encouraged me, guided me, and held my hand through it all. My husband and I are so thankful for her!  We want to have another baby soon, and we definitely want Moly as our doula again!
