Molly Smith, Doula, RYT, & Personal Chef
Molly is a Registered Yoga Teacher, trained childbirth educator, experienced birth and postpartum doula, and self-taught chef (seriously, don't let this fool you, try her peanut butter fat bombs and you will understand!). Her entire life she has felt called to birth and it only amplified after having her own children. Originally Molly chose to enroll in a midwifery program after college, but ultimately decided that she felt more called to support families as a doula while raising her boys. Having the experience of her midwifery background along with teaching yoga for many years has provided her a deep knowledge base of the female anatomy and how to encourage the best movement and care for a mother's body. Along with Molly's passion for educating and empowering new families in birth preparation, she also specializes in prenatal and postpartum yoga. During her private yoga sessions she focuses on bringing awareness to mother's breath and body and deepening her connection with her baby. Molly is a Colorado native and resides in the Boulder area with her loving husband, Ben, two boys, Samson and Sterling and their dog, Pinot. She enjoys staying active, the outdoors, traveling, elevated cooking, motherhood, and staying involved in her community. She loves witnessing and holding space for women's strength & softness during this transformative season of life and brings a wealth of knowledge and gentle guidance to the birth and postpartum space. She is honored and grateful to do this work.
