She takes her stand in a turbulent, troubled health industry, and brings compassion, knowledge and skills to help those that look for a holistic approach in the healing of their dis-ease. I was greatly benefited by her caring to help others in distress. It was my good fortune to be in her care."

"And then there's Molly. She was/is absolutely amazing. Not only is she knowledgeable about her craft, but she practices with a genuine and empathetic heart. Well, after almost a year of treatment, I have kicked my disease's butt and I feel awesome! Here's the bottom line. I recommend Molly wholeheartedly, without reservation. I am eternally grateful and forever indebted to her for using her blessings to improve my emotional and physical health. She has breathed life back into my life."

"I am a 62 year old woman who was diagnosed with a frozen shoulder last year after an 80 mile bike ride. I had no idea frozen shoulders can take up to a year to heal! I did the standard course of physical therapy for months and the progress was slow and painful. Then I had a chance to see Molly and after a couple of acupuncture treatments achieved an increase in my range of motion (ROM) that was sustained following the treatment. I had started with barely 90 degrees ROM and after treatment, my ROM was increased by at least 60 degrees. It was an incredible relief! I highly recommend Molly as a skilled and capable clinician."

"In April 2016 I suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) from an unfortunate accident. After multiple surgeries and my facial bones healing I was still plagued with the effects from the trauma. Such as, facial pain and pressure, brain fog, hair loss, migraines, neck, shoulder and back pain. The hardest symptoms for me to deal with were the emotional ones. I was suffering from sensory overload, sensitivity, crying jags and bouts of overwhelming feelings of sadness. I felt like I was on an emotional roller-coaster with no end in sight. It got to the point my family and friends became very concerned. One friend even suggested I join a trauma survivor support group.
By the time I met Molly I had seen several physicians, undergone more than a few invasive procedures, and tried countless medications to help elevate the symptoms. Unfortunately, none of these seem to help. The physicians like me were at a loss as what to do next. I can honestly say if it wasn’t for one physician who noted the tension in my neck and shoulder muscles who suggested I try message or acupuncture during the onset of a migraine to see if that would help. I would not have found Molly and be on the road to recovery.
During the months that I have been under Molly’s care I have been making tremendous progress. As of May 2017, I am no longer on the emotional roller-coaster, my brain fog has diminished, my hair is no longer falling out and I am migraine free. I know I still have a ways to go with my recovery but I am confident that under Molly’s care and guidance I will make a full recovery.
If someone would have told me early on that acupuncture could help with my traumatic brain injury I am not so sure that I would have believed them. But, after firsthand experience, I am a true believer. Acupuncture and Molly did what several physicians and copious medications could not do. They helped me live and enjoy my life again! Not just endure! For that I am truly thankful!"
- Kimberlly N., Annapolis, MD

"I feel measurably better as a direct result of Molly's treatments, which means I have more time and energy to do what I love. She is direct, effective, and `--a great combination for any health care professional!"
