Get To Know Molly
I am passionate about overall health, wellness and being truly connected to nature! My husband and I are blessed to live on a 7-acre farmette where we restored our 100 year old farmhouse that has been in his family for more than 50 years. On the Kauffman Homestead we do our best in this busy world to live a wholesome lifestyle as beekeepers, gardeners, herbalist, hunters, gathers and simple folk.
​
My wellness journey began over 30 yrs. ago teaching all styles of aerobic classes while attending business school. I’m proud to be working full time as a certified Yoga Therapist, certified Personal Trainer & Wellness/Fitness coach at a substance use disorder and behavioral health treatment facility where I work with those suffering from the disease of addiction and chronic pain. In addition to full time fitness and wellness, I offer personalized therapeutic wellness programs using a holistic healing approach in the comfort of your home and on our Homestead.
​
My calling to help others live a healthy lifestyle of grace and ease began when I was young. I grew up with my Mom diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and many autoimmunity diseases. My first yoga therapy training was offered through the MS Society, which was my doorway to becoming a certified yoga therapist and to help others fight disease, illness, and chronic pain. Along my personal path, I began to discover that overall wellbeing is through the lens of the five elements and the five bodies. This is when I dove deep into living a life of ease through physical exercise, healthy nutrition, seasonal gardening, medicinal use of plants, reiki, meditation, and my spiritual connection to nature. Through my personal wellness journey, I’ve had the opportunity to study with some of the best healers in Ayurveda, Herbalism and Wellness, they continue to guide me through natural health, physically, energetically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. For 30+ yrs. my calling has been helping others live a life of balance, ease, and overall wellbeing. Thank you for being here and allowing me to help you Be Well!
Be Well, Live Well
