About Us

​

Molly Mercy

​

I originally trained with Natural Resources in San Francisco in 2013. In 2015, I trained with Doula Trainings International for further birth work and to become a postpartum doula. I am also a certified in Lactation and Childbirth Educator. I am currently a midwife in training with National Midwifery Institute and am working on becoming a Evidence Based Birth Educator. I have supported couples in Marin County and San Francisco prenatally through birth and postpartum since 2013.

 

I discovered my desire to become a doula during the birth of my first child in 1999 when I had the support of an amazing woman that made a very difficult birth not only managable but beautiful and inspiring. I have wanted to share that journey with other couples ever since.

 

Thanks to our midwife during my second child's birth and our doula, I learned that power of breath and self-enpowerment transform labor from something to be feared into something anticipated with excitement and filled with awe.

 

I love being a part of labor and birth. I am always overwhelmed by the beauty and miracle of birth and the strength and joy of moms as they meet their babies for the first time. I am humbled to be a part of such an amazing and intimate experience.
