You already possess within you everything that is necessary to improve your emotional well-being and reach your goals. We offer proven tools and techniques that will help you open up that pathway to change and success.

Founder and President, The McKinnon Centre 

I’m here to help you achieve your goals and feel the true joy that we all deserve. Life is a journey of discovery … about life, ourselves, others, the planet, knowledge, spirituality, relationships, happiness and so much more.

It is important to acknowledge your emotions, look for the positives, enjoy the moment, be purposeful about your goals and desires, take positive steps toward your goals, use your imagination and creativity and take time for yourself to foster healing, insight, compassion, connection, growth, meaning and rejuvenation.

I am always amazed how only one small change leads to many other changes for ourselves and those around us, much like a ripple created from a drop of rain hitting the lake affects the surrounding water.

Start a new journey of discovery today.
I look forward to meeting you!
