Doula Testamonials

As first time parents, who aren’t from Hong Kong, the support provided by Molly has been invaluable. Starting with the calm birth course, which covered all necessary topics and supplemented the basic information provided at our HK public hospital appointments, and was delivered in a nice small group and relaxed atmosphere. Then the individual appointments were tailored to our needs, and we particularly enjoyed the breastfeeding session, which resulted in a very smooth and confident start to our own breastfeeding journey.

Last but not least, Molly’s presence during early labour at our home really helped both mum and dad to stay calm and she also provided lots of practical support such as massage and breathing techniques.

While I did many things to prepare for childbirth (prenatal classes, yoga, massage, chiropractor), my husband and I really believe that having Molly alongside us before the birth and during the birth was absolutely essential and incredibly beneficial…. she was very helpful and guiding us to review and process all the knowledge we had accumulated from various courses and to make our final birth plan. We both felt much more confident going into labor from our discussions with Molly. 

During labor, we became even more aware how good of a choice it was for us to hire Molly. Childbirth is a very emotional and often scary experience, especially for us as new parents, so having her to guide and support us really made all the difference. I felt much more supported and empowered through her presence, and my husband felt much more relaxed. 

Through Molly’s support, we were able to discuss our preferences with my doctor and give ourselves extra time to think about a recommended intervention. 

Ultimately, our daughter’s birth was a wonderful experience for both of us, and while there are many factors that contributed to that, we feel Molly was a truly essential part of our team and was an instrumental part in making our experience so positive.
