Molly McConnell is a NAMA Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, Postpartum Doula, Emergent Strategist and the co-founder of Cultivate Balance.
Since opening her Ayurveda practice in 2018, she's worked with hundreds of clients in the form of 1:1 consultations, postpartum care, workshops, immersions, and her favorite seasonal cleanse—The Reset for Resilience. Outside of work, she's committed to upholding an intentional Ayurvedic lifestyle that is rooted in the all practices that she preaches.

Molly's work is grounded in the belief that radical self-care is the foundation for collective wellness. She sees Ayurveda not just as a personal healing system, but as a pathway toward a more compassionate and connected world. When we learn to listen to our bodies, understand our needs, and believe we are worthy of our own care, we create the conditions for deeper resilience — both individually and together.

With a background in Women & Gender Studies and more than 2,000 hours of Ayurvedic study, Molly is committed to an approach that is both intentional and intersectional.
When she's not in session, you’ll find her cooking simple seasonal meals (especially dal and kitchari), wandering her local farmer’s market, embarking on numerous naturally-leavened baking projects (sourdough bread, crackers, tortillas, cardamom buns…), exploring the vast beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains (she lives for a good swimming hole), roaming estate sales, or reading with a cup of herbal tea in hand. Molly believes joy, rest and community are just as essential to health as food and herbs.
