Molte Wellness & Adventure

Why Molte? 

Molte is the Norwegian word for cloudberries, brightly colored, delicate, yet hardy little berries that grow in the highland mountains of Norway. Paying homage to her Norwegian heritage and the land of fjords, waterfalls, and the midnight sun, Molte Yoga Retreat owner, Turi Hetherington, chose this to symbolize the abundance, beauty, and grace of nature. Just like the human spirit, these berries require the perfect balance of sun, mountain air, and inspirational surroundings in order to thrive.

Dreams do come true! As a little girl I didn’t dream about WHAT I wanted to be, but I did dream about WHERE I wanted to be and that was in the mountains surrounded by snow-capped peaks, crystal clear creeks and wildflower meadows with a wonderful family to share it with. 

Being a flatland Minnesota girl I knew making this dream come true would mean moving at some point. So after earning a college degree with honors from UW-Madison, I packed my bags and moved to Montana. I didn’t know a soul, but it didn’t matter; I was going to the mountains! And like most ski-town 20-year olds with college degrees, I began holding down 2-3 seasonal jobs at a time, living and loving mountain life! Twenty years, and an assortment of jobs later (hiking guide, ski instructor, waitress, graphic designer, newspaper production manager, hotelier, event coordinator, marketing director, non-profit executive, yoga instructor and holistic health practitioner) – I’m still living and loving mountain life! 

I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to share this passion for the mountains with locals and visitors alike through the years. In 2012 I decided to take it a step further and embrace the sticky note on my monitor telling me to “Be the change you want to see in the world” and I created Molte Wellness and Adventure. My goal: To support others in reaching their goals to live a full life while sharing the bounty of the mountains! 

I hope you will join me for a workshop, retreat or personal coaching session! I love being a cheerleader for others. What are you waiting for? Contact me and let’s get started.
