Today we’d like to introduce you to Molly Troumbly
Hi Molly, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My journey into midwifery is deeply rooted in my passion for supporting women through pregnancy and birth. I started my journey as a doula where I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of birth. This experience ignited my desire to become a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). Through extensive training and hands-on experience in home birth settings, I eventually founded Heart to Heart Midwifery. I am certified through the North American Registry of Midwives and licensed by the Board of Medical Practice in the State of Minnesota. My goal has always been to provide holistic, compassionate, and faith-centered care, empowering women to trust in their bodies and the birth process.
Beyond midwifery, my greatest joy has been my family. I have been blessed to be the wife of my biggest supporter for over 30 years and the mother of four amazing children, whom I had the privilege of homeschooling. As my children began leaving home, I embraced the opportunity to pursue my midwifery education following a long-held calling to serve women in this sacred space.
Today, I have the privilege of serving families in Grand Rapids and throughout Northern Minnesota, offering personalized midwifery care and wellness services tailored to each client’s unique needs. In addition, I now have the incredible joy of being a grandmother to four with another grandbaby on the way—a beautiful reminder of the blessings that this journey continues to bring.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey to building Heart to Heart Midwifery has been deeply rewarding but not without challenges. One of the biggest hurdles was establishing a midwifery practice in a healthcare system that often undervalues home birth and holistic care. Educating the community about the safety and benefits of midwifery care has been an ongoing effort. Additionally, balancing my roles as a midwife, business owner, and mother has required a great deal of faith, perseverance, and time management. The on-call lifestyle adds another layer of challenge—being available at all hours for laboring mothers means unpredictability, sleepless nights, and balancing personal commitments with the sacred responsibility of birth work. It requires deep dedication and a willingness to surrender to the unknown, always ready to serve. Despite these challenges, I wouldn’t trade this work for anything—seeing mothers empowered and babies welcomed into the world with love and dignity makes it all worth it.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

I am most proud of the connections and trust we have built with the families we serve. Birth is an incredibly personal and transformative experience, and I am honored that so many women entrust me with their care. Seeing families return for care in subsequent pregnancies and witnessing their confidence in birth grow is one of the most fulfilling aspects of this work.

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Happiness for me comes from serving women and families through the sacred journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. There is nothing more fulfilling than witnessing a mother embrace her strength, feeling supported, informed, and confident in her choices. Seeing families thrive, babies welcomed into a peaceful and loving environment, and women feeling nurtured in their care brings me immense joy.
Beyond midwifery, my happiness is deeply rooted in my faith and my family. Being a wife, mother, and grandmother has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Sharing life’s moments with my husband of over 30 years, watching my children grow, and now experiencing the joy of grandchildren fills my heart with gratitude.
I also find happiness in lifelong learning. Whether it’s exploring new ways to support women’s health, deepening my knowledge of herbal remedies, or expanding my skills, I am always seeking ways to grow and serve better. Knowing that I am walking in my purpose—providing care that truly makes a difference—brings me deep fulfillment and joy.
