Molly is a registered nurse, counsellor and educator. She has extensive experience in Palliative Care as an advanced practice consultant, administrator and educator. As an accredited counsellor and educator she has provided grief and bereavement support for clients of all ages, in addition to providing extensive education programs for health professionals, schools and community organisations.
Molly has worked in a range of environments from acute metropolitan health services to designated inpatient units and the community, both rural and regional. Her most recent role as a rural health service executive has enabled Molly to establish a process of supervision, self-care and staff support for members of her team, from a range of disciplines. Molly has a firm commitment to the philosophy of holistic care for clients and holistic self care for health professionals. She has seen first hand the personal and professional impact of workplace stress and ‘burnout’ and works extensively teaching the proactive self care strategies that can be employed to promote workplace health.
As a Reiki Master/ Teacher in addition to her health and education qualifications, Molly has demonstrated her eagerness to embrace both conventional and complementary approaches to her work. Molly has a firm commitment to the “compassionate workplace” concept and actively promotes this approach both in the health and corporate sectors, in her regular speaking engagements. Molly regularly contributes articles to a variety of professional and mainstream publications and has just had her first children’s book, “Jelly Bean’s Secret” published by Innovative Resources.
Molly has spent much of her career working closely with children who are struggling to come to terms with the death of someone they love. As a counsellor and educator she identified that there was a distinct lack of resources for adults who wished to have sensitive and honest discussions with children about death. Her practice highlighted to her the need to inform and educate people BEFORE they had to face the death of someone significant in their lives.
Her book, “Jelly Bean’s Secret” is the story of a real family who are attempting to come to terms with the imminent death of the mother and grandmother they love, as she lies dying in hospital. The story describes the dying process in realistic terms and explores the subjectivity of each individual’s grief experience. Molly has a firm commitment to providing realistic information in order to encourage discussion in families, schools and communities about the realities of death, the joys of life and the importance of remembering people we love after they have died.
Molly is a passionate and entertaining speaker who challenges her audiences to embrace their “life mission”. In her public speaking role, Molly promotes personal reflection, empowerment and compassion as essential tools to developing rewarding personal and professional relationships and ultimately to contributing positively to humanity.
