Description

Specialties

Ayurveda is the complete holistic healing system from India, and has been helping people heal and prevent chronic disease for the last 5,000 years. Conditions successfully treated with Ayurveda: Digestive disorders such as chronic constipation, diarrhea and GERD; anxiety, depression, stress, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, heart disease, diabetes, liver disease, low immunity, allergies, and reproductive challenges.

Ayurveda is for everyone. It is based on the notion that everyone is unique, and it offers a complex and systematic way of understanding that uniqueness. If you are very sick, Ayurveda is a powerful complimentary therapy. If you are already healthy, Ayurveda can help you to stay that way as well as improve longevity and peace of mind. Ayurveda is for babies and for elders and everyone in between.

Molly is so great. Once you meet her you know that you’re in good hands: she has a lovely space, warm and grounded energy, and has an awesome sense of humor. I’ve had both massage and Ayurvedic consultations with her, and they were both very helpful. Her massage is very holistic, complete and relaxing, and is supposed to be helpful for our Lymph system. I didn’t have any health conditions at the time of my Ayurvedic consultation, but I learned some really interesting things about herbs and had some DELICIOUS tea.
Check her out.

I had a massage with Molly this past weekend and I can truly say that it was one of the most amazing massages I’ve ever had. The style was so relaxing and I felt amazing during and after it. It was slightly different from the Swedish style massages I generally receive — I can’t really describe how, but I just really enjoyed this style more. You should go and see Molly and give a treat to yourself!

Lovely healing work.
I have lymphedema secondary to breast cancer and have founded a lymphedema prevention group with a local Bay Area Hospital. I know way more about this than I ever really wanted to so — when I say healing — I am speaking on a professional level.
Mollie is a very giving and present therapist.

Molly is amazing! Along with being a super kind and genuine person she’s a gifted Ayurvedic practitioner. I’m intimidated by making major lifestyle changes, but Molly has a smart, sensible, measured approach. It’s all about making small changes over time. If you want to incorporate Ayurvedic practices into your life I highly recommend her.

Mollie is the first Ayurvedic practitioner I’ve seen and she helped me so much in the few months of regular sessions we had. She is an amazing listener, approachable, non-​judgmental and compassionate. She listened to all the persistent thoughts on my mind and paid attention to my whole lifestyle to find the small changes I can make to improve overall health and well being, keeping me out of mental blocks and holes. She has so much advice to give and I am grateful for her guidance. My digestion improved from the herbs she recommended, an herbal tea and positive affirmations helped my mental state, and the weekly support was very grounding. She also walked me through an enlightening kitcheree cleanse, which was rejuvenating and delicious.
This approach requires you to take health and care into your own hands and to be responsible for it. It engages you in a much deeper and more effective way then taking a pill and/​or seeing a therapist where you tend to dwell on the problems in life. It is an eastern rather than a western approach to healthcare. Mollie is a wonderful person and I would recommend her to anyone seeking balance, better health, and a positive, holistic perspective on their lifestyle.

I have been to Mollie several times for both her Marma Point Therapy and Ayurvedic Lymphatic Massage Treatment. I always leave feeling balanced and rejuvenated! She is very caring and intuitive. I highly recommend her for bodywork and can’t wait to begin her Ayurvedic cleanse workshop this fall!

Mollie is awesome. She has a gentle touch but you feel like you just had a juice cleanse and an intense yoga session. I now understand what «massage brain» is, so relaxed that you can’t function.
When my wife first met her, J was parking the car and I, for some reason, was outside by the parking meter. Had I dropped my wallet out the window? Did I shout, «Look! A rock!» and jump out of the moving car? Had J remotely unmatched my door and seat belt then slyly side kicked the side of my head, sprawling me into the gutter Jet Li style? It’s lost to time.
However, what I remember clearly is that while J was slowly, awkwardly parking, I was dancing my best Wanda Sykes from Pootie Tang boogie-​shaking street corner dance. At this point, naturally, Mollie rides up on her bike. She said that more people should lose their inhibitions and enjoy themselves — not care so much what others think. Dance and be happy.
Take care of yourself and be happy. Going to Mollie is one of the best things you can do for your self.

Mollie is truly amazing! Professionalism at it’s finest. I was able to experience energy work (Marma) facilitated by her. She help me unblock many underlining emotions I was not aware of. I truly love and appreciate the work I received! I will definitely return for more sessions!
Did I mention, Mollie is amazing!!! :)

Mollie is awesome! We have been working together since January, and I have seen my health and mental/​emotional/​physical well-​being come into balance as a result of her suggestions and guidance. Ayurveda is great because it’s a gradual, foundation-​based shift in how I choose to relate to my health, and not just a quick fix or «band aid.» Mollie is great at listening to what I have to share and reflecting back with changes that are appropriate and effective in allowing that gradual shift to flow through organically. She is grounded, nurturing, non-​judgemental, and caters to my specific tea tastes, which she always has brewing for every appointment. Two big thumbs up!!!

Mollie is as good as it gets! I’ve always enjoyed excellent body work and so glad I found Mollie. I’ve seen her 4 times and each time was helpful to my body and mind. She has so many positive attributes. 1) She knows how to listen AND incorporates that into her work. 2) She has an incredible ability to make me feel comfortable. 3) She’s so compassionate and nonjudgmental. 4) She’s professional, returns call, texts, and is on time. I’ve recommended her to a friend who also thought highly of her.

Molly is a delightful healer. Her massage and body work is wonderful. The lynphatic drainage massage is a very light touch but effective and pleasant. Mollie’s energy is sweet, peaceful and earthy.

Mollie is absolutely amazing! She has a kind, warm and calming spirit, which really helped me to shed the stress of my work week almost instantly upon meeting her. She’s professional and knowledgeable and I will definitely be making more appointments with her. After my first appointment I felt extremely calm and at peace. I hadn’t felt that way after a massage in a very long time. Thanks again Mollie, I look forward to seeing you soon!

Mollie is amazing! I was blessed enough to meet Mollie outside my old dance studio where she was giving consultations to the public. I immediately felt cared for in her presence and that she saw into the deepest parts of me that needed heeling. For the past 3 months I’ve been seeing Mollie weekly. Each week we meditate, check in on my health, and then Mollie uses Ayurveda to make suggestions on how to improve my well-​being. Through Mollie I have drastically improved my eating and sleeping schedule, and have found new clarity and balance in my life.
You will love working with Mollie. She is a package of intelligence, truthfulness and nurturing all tied up with a bow of hilarious jokes. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Namaste

Mollie is knowledgeable, intuitive, and highly compassionate (read: non-​judgmental) — three things I find vital in anyone I’d consider working with on my healing journey. Her thorough understanding of Ayurveda is embodied by her office, which upon entering immediately feels calming and grounding. I worked with Mollie for about four months at the beginning of this year, and credit that time with establishing standing shifts in the way I tend to my well being.
Before seeing Mollie, I had cursory knowledge of Ayurveda and had been to two practitioners. While the study itself felt very intuitive and nourishing to me, the practitioners I’d met with didn’t seem to resonate, and I didn’t go far with any of them. Mollie really listens, and hears any concerns I may have over the suggestions she makes. If there is a shred of judgment when I tell her about my less pristine examples of self-​care/​aspects of diet, I haven’t noticed (and I can be pretty self-​conscious). She really works together with her clients to create a treatment plan that feels nourishing and sustainable — not just in the results, but in the moments when you are pursuing them as well.
Mollie’s approach and the approach of her program is to create long lasting change by forming new habits. Though in the time since seeing her, I have altered from the program we established in some ways, I feel that my solid understanding of my dosha and the conditions most appropriate for it will serve me for the rest of my life. I am much more mindful when I eat, and understanding the importance of my bhav while I digest. Some habits are practically etched in stone — or it is very clear that if something feels off, I need to pick them back up. Thank you so much Mollie!

I’ve been seeing Mollie for several months and I have benefited significantly from the practices she has helped me incorporate in my life. I have a better understanding of what foods are good for me and what to avoid, and I have more consciousness around daily practices like eating, sleeping, exercise, self care that one takes for granted or engages in barely aware of the impact it can have on the body and mind.
Mollie always has a pot of tea brewing when I come in and these are no ordinary teas one would expect. in fact most fancy tea shops won’t have these lovely blends. whatever tiredness I feel when I come in, those teas just do the trick!
I have lost some weight since I started going to Mollie’s, and have learned some super easy and delicious recipes for snacks and meals that help keep my constitution balanced. And, Mollie embraces ghee, which is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world.
I will say this. It is hard work. If you are walking in expecting to get/​feel better without making much of an effort, you may as well forget about even doing this. This is a commitment, and takes time, thought, diligence, finances, and a willingness to really change one’s lifestyle.
Do it!
