Meet Dr. Molly

​

​​​
​I became a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist in
​ order to help others achieve and maintain optimal health in a sustainable way.  I learned about natural medicine in high school while going through my own health issues, which were not responding to conventional treatment. After trying some “alternative” therapies, including changes to my diet, herbal medicines and nutritional supplementation, I was amazed at how quickly and easily my body regained its health without any side effects from medication. This personal experience ultimately lead me into the field of Naturopathic Medicine and Chinese Medicine, as I knew I wanted to be able to offer my patients the same type of care that played such a valuable role in my life.

  • Traveled to Haiti to volunteer with Naturopaths Without Borders in 2012, where I met my (now) husband and discovered a passion for Haiti and its rich culture.

I want to hear your story.

I have found that there is a necessary component to healthcare that is often missed or overlooked in modern medicine, which is the art of listening. ​ You can know all of the science in the world (and trust me, I know a lot!), but taking the time to truly listen to a patient can open up clues and solutions that would have never been possible with the standard 15-30 minute doctor’s visit. I like to ask a lot of questions in order to fully understand each patient’s unique story. This helps me to know what treatments to use, how to help each person reach their health goals and how to best line up the treatment plan with the patient’s beliefs and values.
