Practice overview
Molly Charmstrong (she/her) is a hard-working Midwesterner with the heart of a California Poppy.
She has been working with families and children while pursuing a wide variety of passions for over twenty years. As a nanny, elementary school teacher, camp instructor, international performer, and mother, Molly has developed the knowledge, empathy, and passion to help new and growing families.
In 2017 after becoming a mother herself, Molly suffered postpartum depression for the first two years of motherhood. This was followed by the COVID-19 pandemic, a breast cancer diagnosis, and its treatment. After emerging from these circumstances healthy and healing, it became clear that she must answer the call to begin the training and certification process as a postpartum doula.
Molly is passionate about the work of helping new and growing families prepare, navigate, and honor the constantly changing realities of parenting with her soft, present, funny, strong, and calming force.
Over the past year Molly has been working with several families and new parents in various support roles, and would love the chance to help your family as well.

She cared for my two very active boys with patience and warmth, helped us prep meals and lunches for the week, fed me and helped out with light housework. She provided a listening ear and time to check in. Very professional, good communication, and flexible with our changing needs. I really admire the positive, thoughtful way she interacts with children which allowed me to relax knowing my kids were okay and focus on healing.
