Hi, I'm Mary Kate

I help women release the pressure to keep it all together and reconnect with who they really are using Subtle Body Work, a body-based system of tools that help you access & uproot deep-seeded patterns & blocks.

“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 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 aspects 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 this work speaks to you, I offer a free 20-minute call to explore where you're at and what you're options are. No pressure, no obligation.

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 think your way out of

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

And you're FINALLY ready to:

  • Stop trying to fix other people's emotions and problems

  • 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.

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

When I'm not coaching...

You can find me romping around with my 11 nieces and nephews, making candles and kombucha, reading, or finding my way to the woods or mountains.
