Our story
For Matt, it was years of shoulder pain that surgery could not resolve. For Molly, it was a difficult and traumatic time in her life, and the therapy that helped her through it. Integrated Functional Health grew from what those experiences taught us.
Matt’s story
Matt’s path to this work started with his own pain. A serious sports injury left him with a shoulder that would not heal, despite several surgeries. Facing the prospect of yet another operation, he decided there had to be another way.
He went looking, and he studied many integrative approaches. No single method was the answer. A combination of them finally brought relief, and with it an insight that has shaped his work ever since: pain, stress, the mind and the body are connected through the nervous system.
That insight rests on a long career in healthcare. Matt has worked as a registered nurse in emergency rooms, trauma centers and flight nursing, and he has extensive experience in mental health and addictions. He is also a massage therapist, an internationally board certified hypnotist and a hypnosis instructor, with over 30 years in healthcare.
Matt’s training spans traditional Western medicine and natural, holistic approaches, and he has studied with teachers from around the world. He is a teacher too. He has taught many classes and programs to people in many different professions, not only in hypnosis, and he is a featured speaker for groups and organizations. He has presented at multiple conferences, including the Mid America Hypnosis Conference, on a variety of brain based topics. In 2010 he opened his own practice to bring all of it together, and he has been helping people in the Quad Cities ever since. Outside the practice, he serves on the board of the Rotary Club of Davenport.
Molly’s story
Molly began her career in business. She earned an MBA, worked in banking, and went on to own and run businesses of her own, including a consulting company.
Then came a difficult and traumatic period in her life. Therapy helped her through it, and it changed the course of her life. She saw firsthand how trauma can affect both mind and body, and how much therapy can help before, during and after the hardest times.
That experience set her on a new path. Molly earned an MA in Clinical Psychology and a Master of Social Work, and became a licensed independent social worker. As a therapist she has worked with people of all ages, from children to older adults, in a wide variety of settings, and with people from many cultures. In agency work she saw how often outside rules, rather than a person’s needs, decided how much help someone could receive. She wanted to offer care shaped around the person instead.
Molly is also a teacher. As a college professor and instructor she has taught in bachelor’s and master’s degree programs, in subjects such as organizational leadership and organizational behavior. She designed Integrated Functional Health’s coaching for high functioning professionals. Her business, clinical and teaching experience come together in everything she does with clients.
Together
Matt first opened the practice in 2010, as Advanced Soft Tissue Health Solutions, and Molly later joined him. They share a passion for service and for helping others, in the practice and in their community. Both of them treat clients not as parts, but as whole people, whose parts cannot be separated and depend on one another. Working side by side, they kept seeing the same thing: physical symptoms tangled up with stress and trauma, and emotional struggles that showed up in the body. Yet care for each was usually offered in separate places, by people who rarely compared notes.
Integrated Functional Health grew from a simple belief. True health is found at the intersection of mental, physical and spiritual wellness, and the brain and nervous system connect all three.
What comes next
Today we see clients at our Bettendorf clinic and online. Through 2027 we are growing our telehealth services and guided online programs, so that where you live matters less to the care you can receive.
The aim has not changed: better mental and physical health, and quality longevity, for more people.
