Molly and Sierra were intuitive and nurturing guides.

I know this is an experience that each day I will uncover new truths and relearning even months and years down the line, and that in itself is so very special. Molly and Sierra were intuitive and nurturing guides, The Reset for Resilience was such a supportive and nourishing experience. The materials were robust and insightful, the calls allowed everyone to feel seen, and I look forward to incorporating new rhythms into my days. Can't recommend this opportunity enough!

The Reset for Resilience allowed for space and self care for a pretty major life shift to come through that has been quite the reckoning. 

Feeling immense gratitude and awe in the beauty and simplicity of the program. I didn't fully have the ability to do all the self-care practices, but even the essentials and eating with the program was truly amazing and eye opening. 

I am so, so grateful. You and Sierra have curated such a tender and vulnerable experience in such grace. Thank you so much.

Having a consultation with you felt really safe and enjoyable.

I felt like I could tell you about how I was feeling and what I was experiencing. I was able to take away four actionable steps that I could implement right away that helped me feel better immediately. I liked feeling better right away however, for me, I know… that there is no quick fix. That is why I really value the wellness and plan, custom herbal formula, and wellness checklist you made for me. They addressed my health in a holistic way, with actionable recommendations for changes in diet, mindset, and spiritual practice. In this way, I feel your plan will be sustainable for me. Even though healing and growing takes time and is hard, I feel it is the only path is forward-I’m done feeling stuck, stagnant, and apathetic! Your materials and advice offer me a roadmap for me to heal and thrive. I’m so grateful for your time and expertise!

Molly's expertise and wisdom have completely changed the quality of my life.

I was suffering from debilitating migraines most days, which put me out completely and prevented me from engaging in my required daily tasks and the things I love. I used to wake up in tears in the middle of the night from excruciating pain. I felt myself losing my ability to function, spending more and more time in bed, trying to eliminate the light and sound I was becoming hypersensitive to. The migraines felt extremely mysterious and multi-layered. I reached out to Molly and she gave me the tools to transform my life through diet and lifestyle. After talking to Molly, I have felt absolutely empowered to reclaim control of my life and live fully again. I haven't had a migraine since consulting with Molly. I have been completely migraine-free for over two weeks now. I feel so incredibly grateful. Thank you for what you do!!

Thank you so much for what you do!

Your website has so many resources, I've been sending everyone I know to your "dosha" quiz :) I really resonate with and appreciate the way you talk  about Ayurveda, and gently explain how to weave it in to our modern days. I had been drawn to Ayurveda in the past, but didn't dive in because the language wasn't accessible to me and therefore it didn't feed do-able. Well, I've already implemented several Ayurveda practices into my day and (although there will always be ups and down in my energy levels), I feel great, and am in stronger tune with my body. So THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!

I first engaged with your site for the Ayurvedic Remedies for Symptoms of Covid-19 webinar and haven't stopped engaging since. The "fear" that led me to Cultivate Balance and my Ayurveda journey has been transformed into knowledge and empowerment.

After about six weeks of following her protocol, the worst of my symptoms were gone.

I came to Molly seeking Ayurvedic wisdom and treatment after being diagnosed with a condition called Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), which causes severe digestive symptoms. I had consulted many doctors previously, all of whom advised me to either make extreme restrictions on my diet or take a course of harsh antibiotics. I didn't feel either of these approaches would lead me to long-term health, so I sought a new approach in Ayurveda.

When I described my experience to Molly, she was immediately familiar with my symptoms and had detailed ideas about how to treat them with herbal remedies and dietary changes. She carefully and compassionately listened to the specifics of my symptoms, my physical predisposition and my lifestyle, and used them to create an herbal protocol and dietary/lifestyle guidance for me to follow over the coming six months.

After about six weeks of following her protocol, the worst of my symptoms were gone. After six months, I have sustained this improvement.  Just as importantly to me, I feel empowered in managing my own health with the knowledge I have gained about Ayurvedic lifestyle wisdom from Molly.  She conducted thorough check-ins with me about my health throughout this process, so I always felt like I could ask questions and find support when I needed it. I plan to seek health and wellness consultation from Molly from now on and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I've managed to integrate a number of things into my daily routine.

…and (when I'm able to stay on top of it) I feel so much better. And when things do get out of balance I feel so much more capable of figuring out how to get myself back... so THANK YOU!

I had what feels like a life-altering experience doing this cleanse.

The mental clarity, capability for controlled patience and will power, among many other benefits contributed to my realization that this needs to become part of my self care routine. Thank you SO much for sharing it with me and I’d love to share the goodness with my friends. I know that one can always benefit from cleanses and detoxes, but I didn’t realize how much I needed to do this, and my perspective is now broader after having successfully followed it!

I love that Ayurveda is like learning your body’s love language.

Through learning more about my Ayurvedic mind body type, I’ve been able to learn more about how to best care for my body and how to better love and appreciate myself. Unlike a lot of health philosophies in the West, Ayurveda celebrates everyone’s unique body types. Cultivate balance courses have been such an easy and meaningful way to best cater my diet and lifestyle to my own unique body. :)

Molly's support and guidance has been immensely important to me.

Having moved from a humid climate to one that was dry and at a high altitude for graduate school, my body struggled to acclimate. From our first appointment together, her warm and grounding presence made me feel comfortable to speak to her about all aspects of my life. She deeply listened to my challenges, needs, and goals with non-judgement and took a holistic, client-directed approach, customizing her suggestions based on my unique challenges and constitution. In addition, Molly was always available via email to consult as I began to make changes in my lifestyle. With her help over the last year, I have established a supportive daily routine, incorporating nourishing food that support my digestive system, engaging in a meaningful spiritual practice, and integrating exercises and movements that align with my constitution. Each of these changes have improved my energy level and digestion, cleared my skin, strengthened my hair, decreased my anxiety, and most importantly taught me how to listen and connect to my body and intuition. I feel such gratitude for all the time and care that Molly has put into our work together and would highly recommend Cultivate Balance for health and wellness consultations!

I feel so enlightened by all of this information.

I just wanted to say how much I am loving part one of The Art of Ayurveda. I feel so enlightened by all of this information. Now I understand a little bit more about my body, my husbands body, and even more on my daughters body. I am able to remember some of this information even just because it makes me think of my daughter with certain aspects of the Pitta Dosha specifically which is what I feel my daughter is out of wack on. My daughter has suffered from moderate to severe eczema since she was 6 months old. Now I finally feel like a light is going off in my head for her. I know now that I have the means to try and help make her better by trying to balance out her Vikruti with different foods and lifestyle changes. Thank you so much!

I cannot say enough about how much I truly love the products and skin care routine that Molly set me up with.

For legitimately two years I struggled with my skin. It was completely dried out, red, and actually scabbing and flaky. Gross I know. To be honest, my Mom growing up wasn’t really into skin care so I just figured I’d be stuck with dry, red skin forever. Also, I was eating foods that threw my PITTA dosha out of wack and did not even understand face masks or how to moisturize. I came to a Molly as a last resort but it should have been my first move years ago. Within two days, the redness and dryness around my eyes was completely gone. Within a weeks time, using the PITTA skin salve and the Rose Mask, along with other custom products, I legitimately healed a two year lip problem. In one week! Molly puts so much care and love into her products, and wants you to feel better and actually glow. The picture says it all. I don’t even wear makeup anymore. THANK YOU CULTIVATE BALANCE FOR GIVING ME MY SKIN BACK.

You're clearly living your vocation, and being invited to tap into that frequency with you has helped me be in tune with my own.
