Testimonials

“Mackinze is very professional and always tailors her approach to what my body needs. During my pregnancy she was able to relieve pain in my hips and back. Her calming energy always gets me in the most relaxed state for each massage. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“In the fall of 2023 I began a journey of working with Mackinze on chronic pain coaching. I’ve dealt with chronic pain and auto immune issues that started in my early twenties. I’m now in my 60’s and have spent years on a journey to find answers and relief from my pain. This search led me to many alternative therapies and ultimately to a functional doctor that helped me identify an autoimmune condition and multiple food allergies. As much as this alternative approach helped me to decrease my pain flaring, the pain and inflammation has continued. After years of continuing to seek relief from my chronic joint and muscular pain I thankfully heard about Mackinze and her unique practice. What started out as amazing massage therapy and reflexology turned into much more! Mackinze shared with me about her experience and success in Chronic Pain Coaching.  She felt certain I could benefit from giving it a try! 

With Mackinze’s kind guidance and coaching I have explored parts of myself that I thought I had neatly stored away and let go. Ultimately with her gentle guidance I found things that had once hurt me, or trauma I experienced, I still held in my body and memory. As we began the coaching process it was as if layer by layer pain was dissolving and relaxed ease was left in its place.

She shared techniques to accept what I was feeling in a way that released the bonds it had on my life. I was able to clearly see patterns that I’ve created to get through life that may have lead to my chronic pain. With loving compassion and guidance I am learning new ways of responding and releasing so that I don’t store tension and pain.

Beginning with my first session I left excited and ready to use the techniques and advice given to address my pain. I felt a relief in my back pain the following day. As I share today, it has been a continued exploration into safely being guided with compassion and kindness. I’ve found ways to express myself that released stuck resentment and tension that I had no idea I carried. My chronic neck, back and joint pain have decreased significantly and I have greatly improved my communication with myself and my family. 

The therapies Mackinze offers are top notch! Her massage therapy as well as her chronic pain coaching and compassionate guidance are needed in our busy world! Seeking relief from stress and pain is part of life. I believe what Mackinze offers is a gift. If there is a part of healing you are seeking either physically, emotionally or just to feel better give her a try. For me, during the time I’ve worked with Mackinze my healing and sense of wellbeing is miraculous.”

“Mackinze is absolutely amazing at what she does! She has a very calming energy and always makes me feel very comfortable in every session. She asks great questions at the beginning to really hone in on what you need in your session. From someone that never had massages before, I am now a regular customer!”

“I started chronic pain coaching with Mackinze because I had been dealing with left hip/knee/back issues for over 7 years. I had a great deal of fear of what was going on in my body and frustration because I used to be really active. I also found myself becoming obsessive- I would research and try every holistic method to rid myself of this or fix it.

I would really like to be able to put all my words in one clear basket but that wouldn't do justice in my working with Mackinze.  My mind has shifted away from so much fear I had been carrying, to joy.  I can see my life moving forward with so many activities to embrace and life to embrace, with the fear factor almost erased from my mind. The biggest thing is- for the first time in years my mind is free of thinking and obsessing about pain or what is causing my pain.  The pain has really subsided and that is because Mackinze has walked me through several resources and methods to help rewire my brain! My walking and weight training has resumed to a normal level where it hadn’t been for quite some time before the coaching began.

You have to go down this road.  I had never heard of “chronic pain coaching” and after listening to Mackinze and doing a little reading, I would encourage everyone with chronic pain to experience her “coaching skills” and how she can bring peace to your mind and to solve many pain issues that you may not have been able to resolve through other methods.  Mackinze is an absolutely amazing person that shares a great deal of compassion in helping you through your journey of life.  She is as real as they come and with such care and concern about you individually to see you grow and move forward.  This needs to be a place where you stop all that pain madness in your life and free yourself from the prison it puts you in.”

“After visiting for a few minutes before each session to discuss problem areas and concerns, Mackinze tailors the massage to meet the client’s needs for that day. She shows genuine care for each person she sees and shares helpful ideas for stress and pain management. Her room is warm and inviting and when a client is on her table, she is very attentive to their needs.”
