Molly is an incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate doula. She helped us navigate the often scary and overwhelming experience of having our first child. We wanted a doula to help us understand the process of labor and birth, know our options and decide what our ideal birth journey would look like, and support my husband in being involved in the labor process. Molly checked every box for us. We interviewed a few doulas and felt a strong connection to Molly as she's very easy to talk to and has a calm energy that was exactly what we needed. Her package feels fairly priced and her services are excellent. The prenatal massage she gave me in my home was one of the best massages of my life, period (it also felt incredible to be able to lay on my stomach with the help of a belly pillow she has).  She patiently answered every question we had and gave us helpful ways to think about how to make the best decisions for ourselves. I felt she easily got to know us and our preferences and could guide us toward things that felt right, without being pushy. Working with Molly is a no-judgment zone. No matter what you hope your birth experience will look like, she'll be supportive and do her best to help you achieve that. She helped us both build a positive mindset around the birth and labor experience -- something I especially needed as I tend to get tense and anxious in situations of uncertainty.  On the topic of uncertainty, we originally planned to have Molly join us in person once I went into labor, but the Covid pandemic happened during my pregnancy. We ended up having Molly join us via FaceTime and Zoom video calls, and I was very impressed with how helpful and effective the virtual setup was. Molly's calm coaching through contractions helped me stay focused, and her ability to tune into my labor progress and see signs I wasn't able to see helped us avoid having a baby in the car on the way to the hospital (my labor progressed much, much faster than I ever expected).  I would recommend Molly's doula services to anyone. It's incredibly helpful to have her as your coach and cheerleader through the wild ride that is making a new little human. read more

Highly recommend MAGDA Births for anyone looking for support, insight, care and kindness during their pregnancy. I originally met Molly through her prenatal yoga classes, which were the prefect balance of prenatal-focused poses with a bit of a challenge to keep you feeling active, even in the third trimester. My husband and I also did a partner prep session with Molly that was extremely comprehensive. Drew and I walked away from the session feeling like we were as prepared as we were ever going to be thanks to Molly's great information! We love you Molly! read more

Molly was an amazing doula and the best choice I could have made for my birth experience. She was so helpful in our pre-birth meetings to get me thinking about the process and my preferences and such a great solid presence during my birth. I loved knowing I could count on her to explain and help me with decisions as it happened. She was a great advocate when talking and making decisions during the birth as well. The massage and yoga were awesome extra bonuses as well! I couldn't recommend her more if you're looking for a doula! read more

We literally don't know what we would of done without Molly, she is an amazing doula! From the moment we met her we knew she would make a great addition to our birth team. She is so kind, positive and has great energy. From our first appointment with her she explained everything about labor, which was super helpful to know what to expect. She was always in constant communication with us. Her prenatal massage was probably the best massage I've ever gotten. And when i accidentally gave birth at home, Molly stayed calm when telling my husband and mom what they should do as she caught my baby girl :) my husband and i feel like she's apart of our family and my mom constantly asks about her! If we are blessed with another baby, we can't picture Molly not being there. We can not recommend her enough!!! read more

I don't even know where to start about everything Molly has to offer. First and foremost, a doula is easily the best investment you can make in your pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience and Molly is the best of the best. Even our midwife said multiple times how much she has loved working with Molly the few occasions she has had. I can say that without a doubt, I would not have been able to have a birth experience so closely mirroring my birth preferences without Molly's support. She helped me access a level of strength, persistence, and confidence within myself I have never seen before, as well as guided my husband in how to best walk with me throughout the birthing process. My husband and I have a very loving and supportive marriage, but I will be honest and say that he wasn't the right person to guide me through laboring. I was too emotionally attached to him to take his directives and Molly was so informed about where we were at and what to do to keep labor progressing. Molly would tell me what to do and I just did it. I trusted her with everything. She also helped us (read: saved us) in a very vulnerable moment postpartum in connecting us with resources we so desperately needed, as well as checked in with us and brought us food and goodies. I will forever be grateful to her and what she gave my family. read more

I cannot say enough good things about having Molly be our Doula. My husband and I had used a doula with our first birth and valued the support during labor and delivery, so we were happy to work with Molly for our second pregnancy and birth at Denver Health. It was clear from the beginning how passionate she is about the work that she does and how knowledgeable she was as well. Her expertise became even more important as we navigated delivering during the COVID-19 pandemic and the changes that went with it. Molly was extremely professional reaching out to her families with a very detailed explanation around the changes made to her practice and the hospital systems to maintain social distancing. She met with us through online meetings, emailed resources, and was just generally always available for questions or to share information. The biggest help she had was helping my husband and I to create plans for our labor without her being there, and for worse case scenarios if my husband could not be there in person. She practiced laboring positions with us over video chat, and also made videos showing us various positions to practice. When I went into labor, she supported me and my husband by phone, helped us to navigate when to go to the hospital, and stayed with us virtually through triage, laboring in my room and just past delivery. It was great to hear her in the background reminding my husband to try a coping technique we had practiced or reminding him to grab a snack to keep his energy up, or just as a calming voice sending words of encouragement. Even during the craziness of a pandemic, I had an amazing birth experience and felt truly supported by my team. I deeply appreciate the work that Molly did to help prepare me and my husband during this time and for the great care she gave to us during labor and delivery. I highly recommend working with Molly in whatever capacity allowed ( in person or virtually), the value of having her knowledge, care, and encouragement is worth it. read more

Choosing MAGDA Births Doula Service was the best decision we could've made (besides the decision to have a child!). Molly was such an incredible support before, during, and after labor and we are so thankful to have gotten the opportunity to work with her! We purchased her premier package including a prenatal massage and prenatal yoga, and it was absolutely worth every penny! She is such a calming presence who is your #1 advocate throughout the whole process. She is knowledgeable, passionate, and just an absolutely delightful person. I decided to hire a doula as my plan was to birth at a Birth Center and I wanted some consistency in my team in case I had to transfer to a hospital. I did end up having to transfer, and I cannot express how helpful it was to have Molly there with me through the whole process, since my labor ended up skewing pretty far from my birth preferences. She helped me process changes, ask questions, and was able to inform me on a lot of hospital protocol that I hadn''t bothered to learn since I didn't think I was going to birth at the hospital. She was such an incredible part of our birth experience, both for me and my partner! Thanks Molly! read more
