Hi, I’m Maki. I’m glad you’re here.

Whether you’re here because you recognize the need for a major change in your life, or life is handing you a change you have to deal with, you’re in the right place.

Change is hard. It feels safer to stay in what’s familiar rather than risk rocking the boat of routine when you may not even have clarity about what you really want. It’s more comfortable to stay in autopilot mode and reassure yourself that “someday,” you’ll make the changes that will make your life more fulfilling.

Someday is now. You can no longer put off the inevitable. And I can help.

It’s my mission to help high achieving individuals leverage their latent power to create positive disruption in their lives.

 How do I know? Because I’ve been you.

At the height of my professional journey, when I had everything I had strived for and more, I was miserable. It didn’t make sense to me. I had done everything “right.” I had all the things one is supposed to want, like a great career, good money, nice house, amazing family, etc.

Logically, it seemed I should stay the course and be okay with the sacrifice that success required. Viscerally, I recognized that I couldn’t continue on my path. I was no longer willing to trade my mental and emotional well-being for the traditional trappings of success.

I knew that in order to fundamentally change that paradigm, I had to cut through the layers of shit keeping me stuck including my conditioning, past influences, limiting beliefs and self-doubt.

The path to real transformation doesn’t happen through surface approaches like adopting a new system of doing things, becoming more organized, more productive, more meditative or positive thinking. Those are symptom-based strategies that don’t address the foundational reasons why you are where you are.

You must be willing to dig deep and look at what you’d rather avoid to tap into your real power.

I’m here to be your guide on that journey. I de-complicate the process of making change by helping you identify the patterns, conditioning, and behaviors that are undermining you and give you the tools to change them more rapidly than you would be able to on your own.

I’m a type A high achiever like you. I spent 13 years in corporate America. As a former genetic counselor, my background in science and counseling provide me with the unique skills and experience to walk my clients through emotionally complex situations. I know what you’ve been conditioned to accept as the price of success. But you can decide to change that, and you can change it quickly with the right support along the way.
