About Me

Welcome! I'm Molly Winship. If you found your way to this site, you probably want to improve your health in some way. Perhaps you want to get into better shape, manage those every day aches and pains, or recover from an injury and rehabilitate safely. Whatever your reasons, you've come to the right place! At the end of the day, we all want to feel good in our own skin.

As a professional Holistic Health Counselor, I've dedicated over 35 years to learning how various forms of corrective exercise, mindful movement, nutrition, and energy work can create a profound state of well being in people. For the past 19 years I've worked as a Pilates instructor in Napa, CA. I'm also a massage therapist, Reiki Master, and Access Consciousness Bars practitioner. I use all of these modalities to provide a powerful way for you to exercise safely and heal both acute and chronic issues.

I believe the innate power of our own bodies is extraordinary. When we have the right tools and intentions, it's possible to live long, rich lives in wholeness and health, in spite of the myriad reasons were told we can't. Good health can extend a lifetime!

We start by honoring our bodies.

Pilates

Pilates is renowned for improving core strength, flexibility, and posture. I'm certified in Traditional Pilates for the entire mat repertoire, as well as the classical equipment: reformer, trapeze table, chair, ladder barrel, and arc. With over 19 years professional teaching experience, including special needs such as spine limitations, scoliosis, RA, pregnancy, and pre- and post-op surgery, I will design the perfect workout or therapy for you.

Massage

Whether therapeutic deep tissue or light effleurage, massage is an excellent remedy for pain relief, lymphatic cleansing, overall detoxing, stress relief, and muscle tone improvement. Plus it's one of the best ways to simply feel better quickly!

Energy Work

Reiki is the ancient practice of healing the "subtle body." It's a gentle yet powerful method for calming the nervous system and clearing the chakras, while restoring blocked energy flow.

Access Consciousness Bars is a cranial hands-on method similar to Reiki, whereby you're empowered to create a different reality for yourself through processes that facilitate more awareness/consciousness in your choices and possibilities.

Energy work enhances the mind-body connection, and is effective for pain relief, anxiety, insomnia, depression, and stress. It balances and rejuvenates the entire body without the more intense hands-on manipulation of traditional massage.
