About Molly

Molly has had a fascination with holistic healing throughout her life. Originally from rural Nebraska, Molly grew up connecting to nature through making sand and lilac pies, harvesting weeds and contemplating the Earth's rotation with her feet in the dirt and her eyes to the sky. Early in Molly's life, when traditional Western medicine did not provide a full spectrum healing solution for her family, she followed the call of her instinct and connection to the Earth and embarked on a lifelong journey using holistic healing. In her mid-20's, she committed herself to the path of natural medicine, diet and spiritual practice to support her health and the health of her loved ones. Molly discovered Reiki shortly thereafter. In the future this would help shape Molly's professional holistic healing practice and apothecary.

Molly's journey of motherhood strengthened her commitment to holistic health through growing and preparing her young daughter's baby food, using natural remedies whenever possible and making her child clothing. Her love of community led her to a position in the Wellness department of Lawrence, KS's local natural food co-op (The Merc), where she used her easy ability of listening and connecting with others to serve and educate clientele about plant medicine, diet and healing in general. In this position, she learned everything she could from the education by vendors and purveyors of natural medicine carried by the Merc, and she used this education as a stepping off point for making her own plant medicine for friends and family and eventually branching out into her own independent studies.

Molly has spent the past six years studying Reiki (certified Reiki Master) and other holistic healing modalities and established her own practice as a certified Reiki instructor in beautiful downtown Lawrence, KS. Molly is a Certified Herbalist through North Star Herbal Studies and is working towards her Clinical Herbalist certification, along with continuing education in meditation, breath work and holistic nutrition. Her passion for plant medicine and creating in general inspired her to open Inner Alchemy Apothecary.

In her healing practice, Molly enjoys providing the space and opportunity for her clients to consciously connect with and remember their higher/divine self through the breath and being present with and for themselves during their healing session. She believes that this connection is a tool they can then take with them to use whenever needed. One of her goals with her practice is to support and empower the client into alignment toward healing by transforming their energy and their consciousness and learning to live from a place that is inherently more whole, joyful and fulfilling. She believes - to quote her favorite poet, Rumi - "The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything you want, you already are."

Throughout her journey Molly says an important lesson in her path of healing has been learning how to listen: "Sometimes, we simply need to be seen and heard. I enjoy helping others and giving them a sense of helping themselves- teaching empowerment on some level. The ultimate goal is self-empowerment and self-love. I am just a tool in that purpose".

In her personal time Molly loves spending time with her daughter and husband, connecting with Mother Nature, long walks, practicing yoga and pilates, connecting to herself and all that is through music, the arts, making plant medicines and building Inner Alchemy's apothecary, and the never-ending journey of learning and exploring and spending time with dear friends and family.

Molly is so grateful to be practicing what she loves to do as her profession.
