About Me

Hi,

I'm Molly

​

I've always loved taking care of people. Back in high school, I got trained in First Aid, became a First Responder, and even went through EMT training - though I realized that kind of high-intensity work wasn’t the right fit for me.

​

In college, I studied Health and Fitness, then deepened my work through Massage Therapy training. Later, I became a certified Health and Well-being Coach. It looked like I had it all together - at least on the outside.

​

But inside, I was working hard to hide my struggle. The “drill sergeant” voice in my head kept telling me I wasn’t doing enough, wasn’t getting it right, and shouldn’t need to ask for help. It told me the 'safe' path was to keep any big feelings bottled up and to put everyone else’s needs ahead of my own.

​

In 2019, the career I'd loved for over 20 years, suddenly felt impossible as I had to talk myself down from panic attacks during massage sessions.  Then the pandemic hit and when I couldn't work as a massage therapist, I felt like I'd lost my identity.

 

Part of me felt like it was dying - and in a way, it was. The part that kept over-giving to others, hiding how I was feeling, and neglecting my own needs - couldn't go on any longer. My body was exhausted, my energy was depleted and I felt hopeless. Eventually, I found myself at the Crisis Center. It was a powerful wake-up call.

​​

Since then, I've been learning to slow down and cultivate the gentle voice inside. I'm better able to recognize when that harsh voice is present and choose to find a softer perspective.

​​​

As I build a stronger connection to my body, mind and spirit, I continue to uncover my own light - listening to and acknowledging what is feeling real at the time, without making any of it 'wrong' - allowing my insides to match my outsides... living out loud.

 

My relationships with family and friends have become more soulfully connected - and I'm especially grateful to have a more loving and supportive relationship with myself. 

​

One of my favorite quotes is from Ann Lamott:

"Lighthouses don't go running all over an island looking for boats to save, they just stand there shining."​

​

I’ve realized that the best way to help others isn’t by pouring out all of my light—it’s by connecting to my foundation and nurturing my own light to grow stronger.

​

I’m on a mission to spend as much time as possible doing what makes me feel deliciously alive - supporting fellow humans to deeply connect to their inner lighthouse.  I want you to be able to trust in the strength of your resources to shine through whatever life brings.

​​

If any part of my story resonates with you, I'd love to explore what might be possible together.
