Hi, I’m Mary Kate

I help women release the pressure to keep it all together and reconnect with who they actually are.

“I spent my whole life being told how to live it.”

For years, I looked like I had it together.

But under the surface, I was constantly second-guessing myself, overthinking every decision, and managing everyone else’s emotions like it was my full-time job.

I tried to THINK my way into confidence and clarity.

It didn’t work.

After a decade studying positive psychology, co-authoring mindfulness research, and training over 100 life coaches, I realized something major was missing:

I was living from the neck up—disconnected from my body, my needs, and my self.

What I found (and now teach) is this:

You can’t really heal if you’re only using your mind.

To feel truly feel grounded and confident in your life…

You have to reconnect with the parts of you that have been ignored, overruled, or shut down.

That’s what Subtle Body Work™ does.

It’s a body-based, nervous-system-grounded approach that helps you shift the deep patterns that keep you stuck:

  • overthinking
  • people-pleasing
  • self-abandoning masked as “being nice”

Ready to explore what’s possible for you?

If something in this work speaks to you, I offer a free 20-minute Alignment Session to explore where you are and what’s next.

If you’ve tried other things before but still feel…

  • Numb, anxious, or “off” even though life looks fine

  • Stuck in patterns you can’t talk yourself out of

  • Like you’ve lost touch with what you really want

And you’re FINALLY ready to:

  • Stop managing everyone else’s emotions

  • Feel grounded in your own decisions

  • Set boundaries without guilt

  • Actually enjoy your life again (on your terms)

You’re in the right place!

Subtle Body Work™ helps you release emotional overload and reconnect with the version of you that isn’t ruled by fear, guilt, or exhaustion.

This work doesn’t make you someone new. It brings you back to who you were before life trained you to be everything for everyone.

Still unsure?

Book a free 20-minute Alignment Session to help you get clarity, feel heard, and see if this coaching is a fit.

Outside of sessions…

When I’m not romping around my 12 nieces and nephews, I’m usually making candles and kombucha, reading, or finding my way to the woods or mountains.
