Remember how it feels to love your work and your life again.

You used to wake up excited for the day ahead. When you started work, you'd be immersed in it, the hours melting away before you had a moment to check the clock because you were effortlessly locked in to your process, inspired by it.

You had energy for your work, and the life waiting for you after it—seeing friends, making plans, cooking dinner, wandering, reading, creating, exploring.

You could close your laptop, and actually leave work behind.

You didn't realize that, over time, your ability to handle a lot could easily become an expectation to keep handling more.

Or that having momentum in your career could make it feel hard to slow down.

Or that your autonomy could one day bring with it the feeling that you can never truly turn off.

Today, you feel so overwhelmed by work that you struggle to feel grateful for it. Even though you tell yourself you “should” be grateful—and that only makes you feel worse.

You worked so hard to get here, and now the main thing you feel is stressed. Overwhelmed. Overworked. Like it would take a month-long holiday to restore your energy levels.

And because you genuinely love your work, it’s hard to know what to do with that.

You’ve tried all the things you’ve been told should help: Affirmations, meditation, hot and cold therapy, breathwork, better boundaries. You’ve also tried telling yourself that you’re fine, that you’re making too much of it. You’ve tried to mind-over-matter your way through it.

Maybe some things have helped here and there. But nothing has really helped long-term.

And now, you feel stuck.

And when you're really honest, a little scared. Because you know this isn’t sustainable for much longer, and if nothing changes, you can feel this trajectory taking you toward burnout.

…which is terrifying because burnout means you can’t keep doing the work you love. Or, at least not to the calibre that you have until now.

Or worse: You know that sometimes burnout can even lead to losing your passion.

Maybe you can already feel yourself losing steam… You still care, but it’s not like it used to be… Maybe you even feel this in your life outside work too, like you’re different than you used to be…

This is where my 1:1 program comes in.

This is where you...

-Feel alive again.

-Remember what it feels like to be energized by your work, inspired by what you do, and excited about what’s possible.

How the 1:1 program works

A Private Session Every Week

Each week, we meet for a 60-minute private session. We work together to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, so we can understand the root of what you're going through and create meaningful, sustainable change.

Different Ways Of Working, Depending On What You Need

Our sessions may include guided conversation, body-based practices, Reiki, mindset exercises, and practices to help you respond to stress differently in your everyday life. This integrative approach is designed to help you work with your thoughts, emotions, as well as your body.

Personalized Tools To Use Between Sessions

Between sessions, you’ll receive tools and practices tailored to you. This might include guided meditations, somatic practices, or reflection exercises. Everything is tailored to you, your patterns, and what you’re moving through. You’ll have specific practices to help you integrate what we uncover together and begin experiencing change in your life between sessions.

A Little About Me & the Genesis of this Work

Hi, I’m Mackenzie! I wanted to take a minute to tell you why I’m so passionate about this work, and in a nutshell it's this: because I’ve been there. I know how it is to feel hijacked by overwhelm and unable to enjoy my life. I’ve worked jobs that my younger self couldn’t even fathom, jobs that took me to Art Basel, French fashion houses, runway shows across Europe and North America—all the things that normally feed my creative soul. And yet, I couldn’t access anything beyond the feeling of stress. I’ve lived in places plucked straight out of fairytales, and felt nothing but pressure.

What I’ve learned is that the old adage “Wherever you go, there you are”... Well, it’s famous for a reason. It is absolute truth. My "dream jobs" led me to insomnia, excruciating chronic bloating, breaking down in tears in unexpected spurts throughout the day while wondering what this was all for. Until I understood the root of my constant stress and actively worked on changing how I was showing up, I continued to turn even the most magical of opportunities into opportunities for stressing out.

Since then, I’ve trained under leaders in somatic therapy, energy healing, and, more recently, psychotherapy. I’ve learned to look at stress from all sides: the thoughts and beliefs we carry, the stories we’ve learned to live by, and the ways stress shows up in the body. I bring all of this into my work with women, helping them understand what’s really driving their stress and find a way to keep doing work they love without it consuming them.

I love coming back to this because it's such a distillation of my 'why': "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." – Abraham Lincoln

Whether you’re crystal clear on what’s wrong, or you just know that something about the way you’re working and living isn’t feeling quite right anymore, I invite you to reach out.

"Being able to work with Mackenzie was very profound for me. It was one of the most productive, and, at the same time, one of the most grounded experiences that I have had as an adult. I showed myself that the goals I had written down, but had been too afraid to execute on, were very much within my reach; that all I needed was to set myself a timeline and hold myself accountable for the things that I know in my heart I really want to do. Thank you, Mackenzie, for the beautiful experience."
-Susana S.

"I’ve had such beautiful experiences working with Mackenzie. She embodies a sacred, gentle, present energy, and has this ability to really witness you, and facilitate creative breakthroughs... Her approach is necessary, especially for people who need calm, who need space away from the hustle of the world. She brings this feeling to the session that you can reach the things you’re dreaming of, while moving more into the wholeness and beauty of your own particular soul, without having to get bogged down, or caught up in the grind, or the unnecessary noise from the outside, which is so present around us—even in the healing space sometimes. I really recommend working with Mackenzie. It’s truly a divine experience that will have you opening up to portals of spirituality, deeper consciousness, and awareness of your own self. I’ve gotten so many insights into my own being and into the uniqueness of who I am, which has allowed me to release some of the blockages that I had in the way of taking my next best steps—and helped me move through the world in a more present, gracious, beautiful way."

FAQs About My 1:1 Program

What does a typical session look like?
Sessions are intuitive and co-created. We may start with a grounding practice, explore something that’s feeling alive for you, use somatic techniques to clear pent-up energy, or reflect/goal-set through intentional dialogue.

Is this therapy?
While I am a therapist-in-training, this is not therapy. This coaching supports emotional growth, personal and professional development, often alongside therapy or other healing modalities.

What if I’m highly sensitive or introverted?
Beautiful. This work is designed for you. We move at your pace, with care and gentleness.

How do I know if I’m ready?
If you’re feeling called, curious, or even a bit scared—but also excited—that’s a sign.

What is the financial commitment?
