About Founder

Hi, I'm Molly, and here is how I formed the training principles that lead me to create Motion Quest.  My life, since I was a child, has been a study of movement. This is my story:

 I was a professional ballet ​dancer plagued with injuries, and as a principal dancer, I pushed my body to the extreme. Even before my career-ending injury that forced me to retire, I began a quest to find ways to be able to move, exercise, dance, and perform. My "Motion Quest" started as a professional dancer. I started cross-training in swimming, yoga, weight training, and Pilates to help rehabilitate from an injury.   Pilates offered a lot of the stabilization I needed and helped me tremendously. I decided to get certified to become a teacher of it in 1999. My training system's base concepts are drawn from Pilates, ballet, and all that I have learned along my movement journey.
