"You helped me pull out some deep seeded emotions and offered different ways of approaching these in a healthy, positive way."

You gave insight and different points of view. You helped me pull out some deep seeded emotions and offered different ways of approaching these in a healthy, positive way. Most importantly, that no matter what I would always be loved. You were real and spoke of times in your life that were relatable to mine and it made me feel like I wasn't alone. It was so nice talking to you because you were just as open with me as I was with you. I felt completely comfortable and safe in my sessions with you. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.

"My thought process and mindset completely changed for the better. My finances, feelings and physical exercise improved."
"I was sad and upset with how my life had gone to that point. The coaching sessions helped me realize things aren’t nearly as bad as I had originally thought. They also helped me completely change my mindset and how I approached these thoughts. The experience was great, I looked forward to our talks. My favorite part was being able to talk about anything without any hint of judgement. My thought process and mindset completely changed for the better. My finances, feelings, and physical exercise improved. I'm most proud of myself for learning how to get better every single day, one day at a time. I would recommend your coaching to Anybody. Even if they feel they are in a good spot, there is always room for improvement."

“Peter's insightful inquiry helped me be honest with myself about what was keeping me from pursuing the things I wanted to achieve. He helped me develop strategies to overcome limiting habits I had been struggling with for years. My coaching sessions with Peter have had a lasting impact because all the insights were earned through a kind of honest work that leads to a unique empowerment that I can’t help but continue to pursue.”
"After having her coach me I was really able to dial down specific details in my life to create the life I want to live."
"Having Molley as my first ever nurse coach was transformative to say the least. After having her coach me I was really able to dial down specific details in my life to create the life I want to live. She was also always so great at celebrating my wins no matter how small. I always felt Molley paid close attention to what I had to say and truly listened free of bias. She was so intuitive at knowing which questions needed to be asked and allowing me the space to answer them in my own time. It was an absolute pleasure getting the opportunity to work with Molley as I knew I could always count on her to be there when she said she would be. She is extremely punctual, reliable, and flexible. She always made me feel comfortable in sharing things I don't tend to share with others. She was also so understanding in times when I had things arise during our sessions that was outside of my ability to control. Never once did she show frustration at the change of course that needed to take place or irritation by extraneous circumstances. I would recommend working with Molley to anyone who wants to change, improve, or better their lives." ~Jenni A. 36 years old, HI
“Working with you was instrumental in helping me figure out what I want from life, breaking big goals down into a series of small concrete achievable goals to help get me where I want to go, and in learning self-calming practices and self-encouragement strategies that can be used as tools to help me get unstuck from negative thought patterns.”
"She will listen with genuine curiosity, pull out your strengths and help guide you through the gap between where you are now and where you want to be."
"Prior to working with Molley I had already been doing a lot of work on my health and so I didn’t really think I had much of a need for a nurse coach but wow am I glad I decided to invest in these sessions with her. Because I didn’t come to her with any specific goal, our conversations tended to traverse a variety of subjects but Molley has an amazing gift. She listens well and asks the tough questions I didn’t even know needed asking. As a result of working together I feel much more at peace in certain areas of my life and feel motivated to continue moving forward in my health/life goals. I would recommend Molley to anyone who feels like they’ve reached a plateau in their life whether that’s personal or health related. She will listen with genuine curiosity, pull out your strengths and help guide you through the gap between where you are now and where you want to be."

"Molley was very clear in expressing that taking care of one’s mental, emotional, and physical health is not selfish, it’s what we owe ourselves, what we should do. It seems so simple, but of the various friends, counselors, therapists I’ve spoken to over the years, she’s the first person to help me to understand that truth."
"I was absolutely blown away by how incredible Molley Sutton was to work with. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable, but more importantly, communicated well in straightforward layperson’s terms, really helping me tackle issues in a practical, logical way. Some of the help she gave me has been absolutely transformative. For as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled with feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and feeling an unhealthy amount of guilt over past behaviors. I also have had trouble with setting boundaries – wanting to have the best relationships I can with people who are important to me, I had developed a fairly deeply ingrained habit of defaulting to a “yes” to most every request or invitation. This has often left me resentful of spending my time or money in a way that others want with not enough regard for my own well being. I also lack patience and become irritable, which has been a trigger for too much drinking and some struggles with depression. Molley was very clear in expressing that taking care of one’s mental, emotional, and physical health is not selfish, it’s what we owe ourselves, what we should do. It seems so simple, but of the various friends, counselors, therapists I’ve spoken to over the years, she’s the first person to help me to understand that truth. It was surprising and wonderful to learn that 70-80% of our energy is spent mentally or emotionally rather than physically – I had been feeling tired all of time, and Molley helped me to conquer that. I think Molley would be helpful to anyone who is wanting to have a more healthy and happy life, as long as they are willing to be open and honest. I truly cannot recommend Molley highly enough – she has provided more of a positive impact for me than I could have possibly hoped."

"Molley truly helped me move forward from being so stuck in life and not allowing those negative feelings to control me."
"While working with Molley from the first session to the last session she made me feel very comfortable and I was able to trust her having mutual respect, allowing me to be transparent with no judgment also enjoyed that she started each session with taking a minute to ground ourselves. She also had the perfect words during those grounding sessions that were so helpful and even brought me to tears. I was able to talk about things in my life that I normally do not talk about. The good, the bad, and where I want to be. Each week we would discuss goals I wanted for myself, and I changed those goals weekly. Not because I couldn’t accomplish them but because what I thought I wanted and needed became clear that I could do those things at this moment. She helped me realize that and that was so inspiring to me. Even though I couldn’t finish goals I set earlier she made me realize that I could accomplish them just at a different time in my life when I’m done healing. With her guidance and wisdom, I was able to push through all my anxiety and depression, even if it was just for a moment. I really focused on being in the present, what I need, and what my body needs at that time. Which is something I’ve never been able to do. She was patient, kind, and so helpful in figuring out what I needed to move forward the best way I can. To not be discouraged, and to celebrate even the smallest things I accomplished. I’ve always been so hard on myself because I have never truly been able to finish anything. I was stuck in the emotions and couldn’t process how to deal with them and move forward. I wasn’t listening and understanding what my body needed at that time. I did the things I thought were helpful and made plans to do better but could not encourage myself enough to follow through. Molley truly helped me move forward from being so stuck in life and not allowing those negative feelings to control me. Even though I’m still working on myself, I have so much more confidence and understanding knowing that I can succeed. When I don’t succeed, I can rewrite my goals and start there. Knowing I can try previous goals again when it best suits my life at the right time and not being discouraged and so hard on myself. She is truly amazing, and I would recommend her to my friends, family, and anyone who is struggling in life with any issues. Whether it’s trauma, mental health issues, or just some direction with such care and insight on what to do when you’re stuck. I benefited with all of those mentioned above. I am excited to move forward and get control of my life again, even after I’ve lost myself time and time again." Taylor A., 29 years old, MT
"With guidance and careful thinking, I'm able to get up in the morning and know that this is another day that will be a good day and full of challenges and learning opportunities that I know I can handle. "
My name is Tammy. I'm a 59-year-old female married for 20 years with two sons. I work as a RN clinical coordinator in a busy Family Medicine, Internal Medicine practice. To say the least the last 2.5 years have seen so much change in health care. The stress with all the staffing shortage across the nation including health care has really caused people to reevaluate their busy work, life balance. Starting a new position that I felt was going to be a wonderful experience of learning the other part of nursing has really been nothing like I thought it would be. I have experienced so much doubt in myself that I would not be able to fulfill what was expected from me. To be very frank I thought I was not smart enough to do this new role. With Molley's help she was able to help me realize that I had so much more to offer in this role then just my navigating the computer world. I have learned to remember I can only do what I can do in that day and it's ok to stop the busy thought process in my head, breath, relax my shoulders and unclench my jaw. With guidance and careful thinking, I'm able to get up in the morning and know that this is another day that will be a good day and full of challenges and learning opportunities that I know I can handle. Molley has a calming way of talking to me and helping me realize my potential in every opportunity that comes my way. There are no words I can say about Molley to describe what a wonderful human she is and how truly she cares about the wellbeing of others." ~Tammy H., 59 years old, MT
"Molley listened and assured me that things were going to be ok and helped me find solutions. I did not feel like I was going through my rough patch on my own."
"I was struggling with a handful of medical issues for over a year. My biggest at the time when set up nurse coaching was vertigo. I had been having a hard time communicating with the medical professionals that I was working with and feeling very frustrated. When our first session was scheduled I had a serious issue with my intestines pop up. I was once again having a hard time scheduling appointments and communicating with doctors about how I should handle things. I felt very dismissed and ignored by the clinics and physicians. Molley gave me the opportunity to vent my struggles and frustrations. I felt listened to and she gave me hope that things would be ok. She checked in with me during the week between sessions and gave me great options for other doctors in the area that might be able to help me and also helped me try and find a facility that could possibly get me in sooner for an MRI. I felt supported and it helped me know I was going to be ok. We weren't able to schedule a sooner appointment for me but she helped me understand the notes from the CT scans i had already had. She listened to my concerns about having to possibly get a colostomy bag and found fun sights that gave me great information for options that would make having a bag much less terrible. I would recommend Molley to anyone trying to navigate their way through medical appointments. Physicians can leave you feeling less than human and more like a medical experiment sometimes. Procedures can be scary and overwhelming. Molley listened and assured me that things were going to be ok and helped me find solutions. I did not feel like I was going through my rough patch on my own. I am very grateful for the opportunity she gave me to use her services." ~Becky S, 42 years old, MT
"But in order to be my best self and not constantly be exhausted, I need to give myself some sort of self care."
"Before I started coaching with you. I was not making time for myself. The coaching sessions have positively impacted me by showing me it is okay to take time for myself. It is okay to still do things for others. But in order to be my best self and not constantly be exhausted, I need to give myself some sort of self care. My experience working with you was enjoyable. I liked how you gave examples of what you have tried and what helps you. I gained more self worth from this session. I also gained healthier eating habits. An insight that I gained from this session is thinking more about if I am full when I am eating. Asking myself if the food is good. Asking if I even want to keep eating. I would recommend your coaching to anyone. I think everyone can learn something about themselves and a better way of doing something that they struggle with."~Anonymous, MT
"Each meeting we had together was started with the question “What were your wins?” Always a positive focus, because she had faith that I would prevail in my mission to concur the stress monster that was ruling my thoughts and she would be right there with me, guiding me with her excellent questions and suggestions, putting the focus on what we had discussed the week before and building on my wins with other wins. "
I approached Molley for help when I was emotionally drained, stressed out, had a mouth full of sores, was on the verge of tears most of the time, was on 2 anti-anxiety medications, and yet I was in the process of what most people would probably consider a wonderful time, approaching retirement. Why on earth did I feel like that and why couldn’t I pull it together? The best way to describe the relationship I had with my boss of almost 2 decades would be to compare it to an abusive, toxic relationship. The person trying to leave is in the greatest danger since that is when things escalate to highest proportions, or at least that’s the way it felt to me. Instead of being upstanding and respectful, she would use her position as the top person in the department to favorite and protect some people while manipulating and humiliating others. Why didn’t I leave before? She wasn’t always that way, but the threat was implied and I been “educated” on more than one occasion, just so there would never be any doubt who was boss. I had also become part of a team of intelligent, wonderful women who not only were my coworkers but my friends. We were in this together, this was my career and it was a good one, one I had been proud of. I felt like this was her last chance to get in one final kick before I left or ruin me somehow. In addition to my job, I was worried about my oldest sister, who I believed was going to die. She was in terrible shape. I worried about my family, etc. etc. etc. Worry and stress has never been a solution. As mentioned before, I had a mouth full of sores, and was sucking on hard candy, one piece after another for hours and trying to manage the stress that was consuming my days.
Molley listened to my story and how I had been dealing with my stress. She asked me questions about my consumption of hard candy. I did need to suck on some of those being that part of them were to handle the sores in my mouth. Did I need to follow those with another 30 hard candies? I also resorted to eating rice cakes and grapes. She asked me what else relieved my stress? The top ones included riding my exercise bike which also helped my healing total knee arthroplasty and burned through the nervous energy that accompanies stress. The other one was petting my dog and the calm that is attached to that. Molley asked me to become aware of what I was doing and opting for a different solution, an enjoyable one.
Each meeting we had together was started with the question “What were your wins?” Always a positive focus, because she had faith that I would prevail in my mission to concur the stress monster that was ruling my thoughts and she would be right there with me, guiding me with her excellent questions and suggestions, putting the focus on what we had discussed the week before and building on my wins with other wins.
The next step was goal setting and the first one was writing the dreaded letter to my boss. It was what I feared the most and what I absolutely had to do. She questioned. Why was I so afraid to do that? What could she do to me? How would I handle it if certain things happened due to that letter? We worked through it all, but what was I going to say? The solution came out of something totally unexpected, someone asking me about my job and how hard it was to get a job. That took me back to the beginning of my first job with this company. The person who got me into that job and then went on to hire me into her department, both amazingly wonderful things, was that person I had now considered to be the monster I was trying to leave. My letter came from a place of gratitude and it practically wrote itself. Molley was also literally with me when I sent my letter to my boss. I was not alone and felt protected in the knowledge that it would all be fine, and it was. She reminded me that the that those thoughts and situations happened because they were supposed to. I had been put into that thought process by my health coach. I will always be amazed by how she made it all come together. Molley guided me through that fear with action. That huge step took over half of my meetings with Molley. She was building me back up to go forward into another phase of my life that was going to be completely different than anything I’d done before. We had many more discussions and solved other issues, set many more goals, but I wanted to put the main focus on what brought me to Molley in the first place. I have pages of goals that I’ve written down and my “wins” show a line through them.
As I look back at the start of my sessions, who I was then, who I am now, I’m so grateful. I have tools given to me by Molley to access over and over again. Best of all, I also have Molley whenever I need her.
Thank you so much,
Michelle
"When I turned to Molley for help, I was broken. I’m a private person and I shared things with Molley that I’ve never shared even with my closest family members. She provided a safe place to talk and work through issues. She truly listened to what I was saying as well as what I wasn’t saying."
I’m writing this testimonial because I’m so grateful to Molley for the time we spent together.I’ve received counseling in my past, but it was nothing like the coaching Molley provided.
Since I retired after working most of my life, I began to care for my special needs grandchildren. When they were babies, it wasn’t necessarily easy, but I felt confident in my ability to care for them. They’re very close in age, less than a year apart.
Over the course of the next three years and as the babies grew older, their special needs became more evident, and I began to doubt myself and my ability to handle anything. I refused to give up, and consequently my physical and mental health was suffering. And worse than that, I felt like I wasn’t providing the kind of care that these wonderful children required and deserved.
I felt guilty for feeling like I did and even more guilty every time I thought about having that discussion with my daughter. When I turned to Molley for help, I was broken.
I’m a private person and I shared things with Molley that I’ve never shared even with my closest family members. She provided a safe place to talk and work through issues. She truly listened to what I was saying as well as what I wasn’t saying.
Molley helped me move forward. She helped me realize that taking care of myself physically, spiritually, and emotionally isn’t selfish. She taught me that we truly can’t be our best for others if we don’t care for our own needs first. That concept never occurred to me before.
Our sessions always began with my wins for the week. This is the first time in a very long time that I was looking at and appreciating the positive things in life. It’s amazing how things began to fall into place.
Our sessions took place once a week over a three-month period. It seemed like we were tackling different pieces of the same larger problem each week culminating with one of the most difficult conversations I can recall. Molley asked questions that helped flush out the real issues and gave me ideas on what to do to move forward. She let me know that I wasn’t alone in working through the issues and even followed up with me mid-week to make sure I wasn’t
stuck. I’m so grateful for her perseverance with me.
Molley stressed the fact that I deserved to have a good life and to be happy. She encouraged me to find the things I enjoy and pursue them.
Molley is an amazing coach, wise beyond her years. She helped me build a toolbox of skills that I can refer to going forward. She is different than any coach/counselor I know of. She uses the whole person approach to wellness. I strongly encourage anyone who is ready to get off dead center and start living to work with this amazing individual.

"After, working with her I have a more positive out look on things and don’t dwell on all the negative. It was like something just clicked when we were talking and I realized it’s okay not to beat myself up so much thanks to her."
Before working with Molley I was struggling with a lot of negative thoughts about myself related to my weight and eating. After, working with her I have a more positive outlook on things and don’t dwell on all the negative. It was like something just clicked when we were talking and I realized it’s okay not to beat myself up so much thanks to her. She also sent materials to review and session notes after our sessions which was very helpful.
Molley is a great listener and she constantly asks to make sure she is covering everything that you want to discuss.
She is full of great ideas and presents them well. She asks the right questions and provides good feedback in a non-judgmental manner. If you are on the fence about doing this-just do it, you will not regret it! I enjoyed setting goals and having something to work on and look forward to discussing at the next session.

"Her holistic approach and gentle guidance provided me with a level of clarity that allowed me to understand more deeply how important the small steps are and how they compound."
Working with Molley helped me to take steps forward in my personal and work life that I had been procrastinating for far too long. Her holistic approach and gentle guidance provided me with a level of clarity that allowed me to understand more deeply how important the small steps are and how they compound. Knowing that I would be meeting with her the next week held me accountable to the plans that we would make during the session. I highly recommend working with Molley to anyone who feels like they could benefit from a dose of insight, accountability, guidance and compassion.

"She was intent on listening and asked great follow-up questions, some questions I haven't wanted to answer for decades. She saw the good in me and exudes appreciation and love for who I am. It was impossible to not be open and forthcoming with her, as her limitless acceptance was reassuring."
"If it's not broken, then it doesn't need to be fixed...right?! I didn't realize I was broken. I've always put others' needs before my own and my whole life I've neglected my inner peace.
When my first meeting with Molley, I wasn't sure what to expect. She greeted me with the warmest smile. Molley made sure I felt safe and comfortable ‐ focusing on comfort so I could take time to reflect inward.
Molley briefly interviewed me and invited me to set the agenda for the meeting. She was intent on listening and asked great follow-up questions, some questions I haven't wanted to answer for decades. She saw the good in me and exudes appreciation and love for who I am. It was impossible to not be open and forthcoming with her, as her limitless acceptance was reassuring.
Molley helped me prioritize my thought pattern and suggested new inventive ideas to establish a better reorganize my chaotic mind. Ideas that I have implemented and are working wonderfully. She continued to hear me and was able to nurture my biggest bloom in real self-love.
I would recommend Molley to anyone, but especially the ones that think their not broken.
