Molly Stroud
Health Counselor

  • Molly obtained a Bachelor of Science in Sociology, Master’s in Clinical Herbal Medicine, and Certificates in Life Coaching, Child Psychology, Yoga Instruction, Ministry and Entrepreneurship.

    Molly has a love for learning and firmly believes that we should learn something new every day. She’s currently taking a break from education to focus on her daughter, but may go back for a second Master’s in Counseling.

  • Molly has worked as a counselor for many years, serving various populations. She’s worked with adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mental illness, and chemical dependency. She’s done play therapy with at risk youth, ABA therapy with children on the spectrum, social emotional development, and case management.

    She enjoyed a period of early retirement when she moved to Florida and did restaurant work to take a break from the emotional load of counseling. She still contributes to a local health food restaurant in Hot Springs for fun.

    Molly started her first health business in 2008 and has faithfully evolved that business since. Witnessing clients come off of substances and onto heavy pharmaceuticals made her question if there was a better more natural solution. Her dream since then has been to work in holistic health full time and she is elated and grateful to be serving Hot Springs after many years of study.

  • Molly was raised in a small town in Pennsylvania before heading to college in Iowa, and spending a relaxing few years in Florida. She moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas in 2018. She was always looking for her “perfect” place to call home and enjoyed studying US geography in search of that sacred space. After praying about that place, and where God intended her to set roots with her young daughter, Arkansas checked off every box on her list.

    With rolling hills and forests like she grew up with in PA, kind people and a mild climate, Molly and her daughter love spending time outdoors, with their pets, and at church. She loves the community here and is happy to give back through serving, helping others live healthier and happier lives.
