After decades of acquiring “head” knowledge, and muscling my way through change (I’m tenacious if nothing else!) I met Luis Mojica and began my somatic journey. All the dots began to connect. Following 2 years of working with Luis, I began learning from world renowned hypnotist and hypnosis trainer, Melissa Tiers. Integrating a body-based approach to healing and change work allowed me to weave all the other powerful resources I’d gathered along the way to facilitate potent, alchemical change in one-on-one relationships with my clients.
This is BODY work.
This is weaving together the emotional body, the mental body, the spiritual body and the physical body. There is physicality to the change, or there is not change. Neurons, synapses, blood pressure, heart rate, physical sensations, endurance, flexibility, capacity, resilience.
Turns out: lasting, embodied, healing change looks a lot less like reading a book and more like learning to read. It’s like riding a bike, driving a car, knitting a sweater, or running a marathon.
It’s BODY-BASED change or change doesn’t happen.
Someone’s finally here to save you.
(Pssst… It’s you.)
You have everything you need, within you, to do this messy thing called life.
You are…
Powerful, capable, competent and worthy…
Resilient and enough.
There’s NOTHING wrong with you.
And you know what? I was SO PISSED OFF when people said shit like that to me! (In fact, I can’t believe I just wrote that on my own website.)
All it did was make me feel, even more, like something was wrong with me. Because I wasn’t figuring it out.
My “error” was being in my head about it all. Thinking if I could just understand what went wrong in my childhood and if I could learn how to heal, I’d heal.
I was an excellent student and life long learner. I could figure this out. Over time, I became increasingly obsessed with “fixing myself”. At one point, someone close to me even accused me of being addicted to self-help.
You know what? I WAS!! And no wonder: I was suffering. I was in perpetual states of fear, shame and self-contempt. It was excruciating to watch myself losing my shit with my kids when that was the last thing I wanted to do. It was exhausting to feel perpetually unsafe. I wore myself out, trying to “do things right” and “be a good person” because it would show I’d healed. Right?
When you have the tools and resources to deal with whatever comes your way… all the circumstances and events that led you here are part of your story that you’re so proud to have overcome. You stand tall, exactly because of all you’ve been through.
You’re proud of yourself; you trust yourself; you’re resilient.
That realization… is a miracle that precedes miracle after miracle.
My work resonates with those plunged into an awakening, typically around midlife, particularly the culmination of relational rupture (with self & others) in the face of overwhelming life circumstances and the uncertainties of the future.
My work is centered on the idea that patterns are embodied and physiological, AND that your body is always learning new ways to organize itself. Although unresolved and unresourced patterns perpetuate distorted perception, this is not a permanent, fixed state of being. Your body is always learning.
HEY, I’M MOLLY!
Unraveling old patterns, personality templates, contracts and attachment bonds that no longer serve you, is a dissolving process (think caterpillar goo) followed by physiological re-wiring, re-coding, re-writing of your nervous system in real time (think butterfly). This is science and art. Magical and pragmatic.
I love it!! If this resonates for you, let’s connect!
The spaces I facilitate as a fellow human / life coach / change worker / hypnotist were born of my own initiatory journey.
