I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was teenager, and it became quite aggressive as I entered my twenties.  My mind and body had suffered through five surgeries in less than four years time, and I was devoid of hope that my situation would improve.  I had exhausted all traditional medical treatments, and the pain was so severe after the last surgery that I didn’t know how I would go on.  I felt that I had no options. Someone suggested myofascial release as an alternative; ignoring my skepticism, I decided to try it.  Within weeks, my body began releasing the pain, fear and anger it had been storing for years. Not only have I not had surgery in almost two years, but now I feel overall wellness and strength, and most importantly, Molly has given me hope again.

I would highly recommend Molly's work to anyone.   I went to Molly for a frozen shoulder and also a severe restriction in movement that a doctor had (incorrectly) told me was arthritis in my neck. I immediately noticed that her work was far less painful, and far more effective in terms of rapidly increasing my range of motion and resolving chronic pain, than the physical therapy I received before.   Not only that, but I was delighted to notice that Molly was able to see and address the underlying imbalances in my physical structure.   For example, a twist in my hips that was perpetuating the trouble in my shoulder: a twist in my lower back that was contributing to the problem in my neck; she released both of these.   I rapidly saw her work was holistic and organic, so that as I continued treatment with her I felt more and more physically flexible, stable and energized; I felt an increase in my sense of well-being on every level, beyond just fixing the presenting problem. Also, I have a background of studying somatic psychology and am aware that our soma (body) and psyche (emotions, thinking) are inextricably linked. Rigidity in the body correlates to rigidity or unresolved patterns in the emotional/mental realm. I was aware that as Molly worked with me there was a release of emotional blocks that left me feeling stronger, freeer, more deeply settled in myself and fully alive on an emotional level as well.

I met Molly McMillan at Healing Works in Manhattan and was struck by her confidence and focus as she talked about the kind of work she did.  I arranged to receive some sessions from her for help with my hips, which I had been having problems with for a couple of years.  I saw Molly for 4 sessions and was quite impressed with the gentleness and power with which she helped me.  After the first session, I noticed I had more body awareness, I noticed my sense of smell was opened up and I enjoyed the smells in my home more.  After four sessions, where she gently moved me around and pressed my body here and there and asked me gentle, probing questions, I noticed that my hips had definitely improved.  They had less discomfort and more range of motion.  The improvement was lasting.  There are some people who are highly trained and very skilled; Molly is one of these practitioners, but she is that rare and valuable breed as well: a true healer.

Myofascial Release has been very helpful in releasing my symptoms of fibromyalgia.  Since working with Molly McMillan my muscle aching and stiffness is much less and old tensions are being released.  Molly is helping to realign my body so that I can move with greater ease and efficiency.  My energy level and sense of well being have greatly improved.

I was in terrific pain with a frozen shoulder and had been manhandled by two "Madison Avenue" physical therapists recommended by my Doctor. Their philosophy was, "without pain, recovery is not possible". Of course, they actually made matters worse. I was starting to give up hope and then I found Molly. She brought me along, making good progress with each session...and without pain! She restored me to a pain free existence and gave me back a full range of motion. She is an amazing therapist.
