Molly has been like an oracle for me during postpartum. She's given me incredible breastfeeding support while also nourishing me with her epically delicious lactation cookies. Everything she makes tastes intentional -- wholesome, comforting, and truly made with love. Knowing how much passion and knowledge she has about ingredients and clean eating gives you complete confidence in every bite. Beyond breastfeeding support (and feeding me well), she's also been such a valuable resource through so many new motherhood challenges -- formula questions, sleep struggles for both me and the baby, teething, different daycare and schooling philosophies, and even thoughtful conversations about how culture shapes the way we parent. Her wisdom, warmth, and genuine care have made such a difference in my postpartum experience. read more

I met with Molly for a Birth Story Listening and was so gratefully surprised at the healing impact and lasting support this one session has given me. Molly is a gentle, clear, deep guide. She is a great listener and gave me space while helping me uncover fears and patterns that until exploring with her I just didn't understand. If you are feeling weighed down, confused, lost, or lonely as a mother, I can't recommend Molly enough. I am continuing to coach with her virtually. Her resources for new mothers are vast and meaningful. read more

Molly is a great postpartum doula. She came to our house for 8 weeks after having our 2nd daughter and created amazing & nourishing meals and was a great resource as we navigated breastfeeding issues. I only wish I had hired Molly after having our first. She created an environment where I could handle the challenges with our daughter and also stay focused on my vitality. I give Molly my highest recommendation. It was the best postpartum investment I could have made for myself and my family. read more

Molly is an incredible resource for new families! I cannot overstate how helpful she has been to our budding family. We took a private postpartum preparation class with her since we our due date didn't line up with her online class, and it was so nice to create space to talk and learn about the postpartum period as a family. We felt much more prepared going into it, and I think I've healed faster and stayed emotionally well because of it. She also hosted a blessing ritual for us to be honored by our community and welcomed as a new family. It was so sweet and we will never forget it. We also really enjoy all her free resources on her website with the ebook for new parents and the awesome blog--we love all the yummy recipes! Since the birth, she has been my number one resource for breastfeeding support and baby questions. I had trouble getting a latch in the immediate postpartum, and she came to visit like 12 hours after the birth, and at 72 hours (with an AMAZING chicken soup in tow). There is so much conflicting information out there about nursing, so her in-person home visits were invaluable. And she's checked in many more times since to make sure everything is still going well. We love Molly! She has made our dive into parenthood SO much smoother, well-informed, and supported. read more

Molly Rouse is an exceptional postpartum doula, a rare jewel of supportive, grounded presence and compassion. Molly supported our family after the birth of my son (my second child). Molly brought a clear, calm, and focused demeanour. Her food was deeply nourishing and easy to digest which are both so vital after birth. Molly was very loving with my son, holding him and bouncing him while she cooked. She modelled for me how easy and effortless this can be. Molly was also very supportive emotionally, holding space for me and offering practical solutions during a very challenging time. Molly went above and beyond and also took my older daughter out with her family on outings and playdates. Our family is so grateful for Molly, we give her the highest regards. read more

Molly was the best gift I didn't know I needed! Thank you mom! Molly came twice a week for six weeks and left us with huge, beautiful, delicious, healing meals. She helped us trouble shoot many questions we didn't realize we would have while we were still in the hospital. She held the baby while she cooked so I could shower or nap. She shared helpful and informative resources that were relevant to whatever I was going through at the time. I was concerned about having someone I didn't know in my space for so many weeks, but her energy is easy going and soothing and very easy to talk to - or not talk to depending on your mood. I've already referred her services to several friends. I highly recommend! read more

Molly recently facilitated a session of Birth Story Listening with me, and I cannot express how grateful I am for it. I didn't know what to expect, and went into it open to what might emerge. Molly is caring, gentle, and genuine - and she helped me draw some connections between my experience of the birth of our first son and some patterns in my life years later. The session felt cathartic and healing. I feel transformed in some way by being really heard and having Molly's support to uncover some aspects of the intensity of birth that I hadn't fully processed. I am grateful. read more

I met with Molly for a Birth Story Listening session and I can't recommend it enough. Almost 2 years after the birth of my son, I began to realize that there was a lot of trauma surrounding his birth, a lot of fear and a lot I just didn't understand. Molly was so easy to talk to and listened deeply as I shared. She naturally guided our conversation and helped me to uncover what was at the root of my feelings towards birth. It made my whole experience (which initially felt so big and heavy and confusing) feel manageable, like something I could hold in my hand instead of a huge cloud hanging over me. Meeting with her was a big step towards my own personal healing and I would highly recommend her to anyone else working through their birth story! read more
