018 // Finding Freedom with Food

Molly Larkin is a psychiatric RN and certified life coach in private practice working here in Rochester, NY, and online. She helps people around the world find freedom from disordered eating and body image struggles.
Along with her husband, Dr. Giampaolo Gallo, Molly runs Hummingbird Holistic Care, offering non-pathologizing psychiatric care, addiction recovery support, and practical mindfulness groups.
Molly works with women around food and body image but that's really just the beginning. Her mission is to empower women to take back their autonomy with food and to inhabit their bodies with joy. Food and body are the doors we walk through but once you start listening there, everything opens up. Witnessing and facilitating this transformation is the privilege of a lifetime!
