Before launching her health coaching practice, Molly worked in corporate banking and struggled with digestive and weight issues. Seeking better health, she discovered the healing ability of whole foods and was able to get off medication, lose weight, and heal her relationship with food and her body. This inspired Molly to become an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, launch Balance by Molly, and develop her own cleanse, The Balance Cleanse. Molly now works with clients in one-on-one coaching sessions to help them achieve their health goals. She teaches her clients a new way of thinking about food and nutrition to make better choices around eating in a more natural, intuitive way that is free from dieting. She also offers corporate wellness programs and retreats to corporations in the Bay Area to encourage happier, healthier, and more effective employees. Find more from Molly on her website and Instagram.
