Ann Marie's Story
Ann Marie Mackey is a grateful survivor of profound loss throughout her life. She embodies resilience and the ability to thrive despite life's adversities. During a successful and progressing corporate career in the oil and gas industry, Ann Marie’s life as she knew it blew up when her beloved eighteen year old son, and only child, died suddenly from a devastating and tragic accident December 1, 2009. Ann Marie was unexpectedly catapulted into a world of healing mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Upon learning of her son’s passing, she abruptly discovered her intuitive abilities when through her minds eye heard her beloved boy say, “Mom, you are free” and a saw the crossroads of her life before her. One path resulted in this tragedy destroying her and the other rousing her to rise-up and somehow “Rock her Life”. In that surreal and horrendous moment, in her beautiful boy’s memory and in honour of their pure love for each other, Ann Marie made the unwavering choice to “Rock her Life”…. somehow.
Ann Marie started down a path seeking support everywhere and anywhere, which evolved into a transformational journey. A passion for well-being was unlocked within Ann Marie, which has led to numerous wellness certifications and a Naturopath designation. Her beautiful boy’s passing was a Divine gift of love to Ann Marie as it gave her the strength and tools to face and heal a lifetime of past wounds and overcome some of the most challenging adversities.
Ann Marie is a Somatic Therapist and Transformational Coach. She has a diverse toolkit that combines all her life experiences, education, business experience, passion for athletics and nature. Ann Marie offers a comprehensive and signature mind, body and spirit approach to healing and thriving. Ann Marie is passionate about breaking the chains that bind us by releasing false beliefs and conditioning so we can rediscover and live from our true essence – love – and be free.
Ann Marie feels honoured to have the privileged to pay her son John-Michael’s love forward by helping others heal from the unmentionable.
