"Working with Molly has been a life-changing experience. When I first came to her, I was in a wheelchair and facing the daunting prospect of never being able to walk up stairs again. Thanks to her unwavering dedication, expertise, and endless support, I can now confidently say that I am walking up stairs and enjoying a level of freedom I thought was lost to me forever."

From working with Molly, I was able to start doing variated yoga poses based on my ability and have gained confidence in walking again, as well as practicing going up and down the stairs. I can't thank her enough for helping me overcome my fears and discover things that I am still capable of.

I have been working with Molly for a while now. I suffer from always being a mouth breather but worse sleep apnea. Molly has given me some amazing tools to work with and in a short period of time I'm breathing better and my sleep is improving. Molly is amazing. She gets the issue and gives you credible advice that just makes sense My opening challenge to Molly was my CPAP machine was not for me forever...with her help I can see that is a possibility.. Thanks Molly.

I love my Pilates classes with Molly - they set me up for the week! I was nervous about starting Pilates but Molly is incredible at supporting you where you are on the pilates journey. I love that Molly asks about us, she knows our hobbies, our work and adapts the classes to suit our needs. We may never be Olympic horse riders, but we may ride well into old age thanks to the exercises Molly has taught us. Thanks Molly!

The Buteyko Method is an evidence based, drug free method, aimed at calming your nervous system to influence your breathing. The method is based on retraining your breath to slow it down, making it light and effortless. This allows your body to find a rate of breath that we were all naturally programmed to do. A high rate of breathing is linked to many illnesses and research has found we can reduce or even reverse these illnesses, by changing the rate and the way that we breath. This technique has so many applications such as asthma, sleep disorders such as insomnia and snoring, anxiety, cough and hayfever.
