My goal as your doula is to support you in connecting to your own inner wisdom throughout pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. Together, we’ll create space for you to discover what safety, power, and informed birth means to you: helping you feel grounded in your body, confident in your choices, and connected to your intuition.
Services and Offerings
Birth Doula Services
I offer 4 prenatal visits which includes processing your pregnancy, developing your birth plans, and practicing comfort measures; for example, breath work, partner support, physical touch/massage, nourishing snacks, pain management, stress relief techniques, labor prep positions, and building trust between your team.
Meetup walks & check ins
Compassionate text and call support throughout pregnancy and an unwavering presence as you navigate the journey of pregnancy.
24/7 on call support and availability around your guess date.
Full Labor & Birth Support—Being present and calm with you throughout your entire laboring birth, offering continuous hands-on and emotional support as you meet your edges. This includes comfort measures, massage, breath and body work, position changes, encouragement, and helping you feel informed and supported as you navigate and ride the waves of each stage of your birth.
1 postpartum visit (2-3 hours) - a dedicated time to reflect and process your birth, and talk through how you’re feeling as you integrate back into life at home with your newborn. We’ll discuss your path to healing and nourishing your nervous system while sharing resources, referrals, and practical support in the weeks ahead.
Bespoke options are available based on your specific needs and desires. Each birth, person, body and baby are unique and I want to make sure you feel held and seen.
Add ons are also available — including in-home cooking / meal delivery, placenta encapsulation, massage and Closing of The Bones Ceremony after 6 weeks postpartum.
Postpartum Doula Services
The first 40 days at home or after birth, wherever you may be, is such a sacred and transformative time. I offer healing, nourishing, and grounding support during the 4th trimester as it is a time of becoming, returning, and rebirthing while moving slow. I work with food and safe herbs that specifically nourish the nervous system. My postpartum support is centered around caring for you, so that you have the space to rest, recover, connect, and simply be so you can tune into baby, and if you have a partner, navigate this time together.
Care can show up in different ways — whether you need a nourishing meal for you or your circle of support, a warm cup of tea, someone to hold your baby while you shower, prepare a beautiful first bath for you and your baby, time to stretch, help around the house, or simply talk through your birth and everything you’re experiencing. I’m here to meet you where you are.
I offer nutrient-dense homemade meals, snacks and warm beverages rooted in Ayurveda to support your body as it recovers from birth and adjusts to this new season. We can talk through your preferences, dietary needs, and what feels most supportive for you.
My services are intentionally flexible. Your needs may change from week to week, and our time together can shift with you. My goal is for you to feel held, nourished, grounded, and supported as you move through the beautiful and tender transition into parenthood.

We don’t have to go through transformation alone
About
My name is Molly Strausbaugh. I offer present, safe, informed, empowered, and intuitive doula care. I’m originally from Cleveland, Ohio and started my first big career move as a model in Miami. Throughout my modeling career I always heard an inner voice saying this wasn’t forever and that I needed to serve others from my heart. After some time, I took a bold move and headed to Los Angeles where I later became a nanny. I have a background in child development and have supported families and their children full time through big life changes, transitions, and big feelings — offering children my full attention while giving them the tools and love they needed. Witnessing and supporting families while they grew (having babies) opened my eyes to becoming a doula inspired by the fact that everything begins in utero. I completed my full spectrum doula training for birth, postpartum, and end of life support and devoted my time and energy to this passion of mine. Witnessing and walking with people through life transitions and thresholds is my dharma as it comes most naturally to me. It’s where I feel my most calm and alive.
