Testimonials (what a joy!)
As a result of the work, I'm a lot nicer to my body. I don't endure exercise for the someday benefit of getting thin. I don't delay my happiness that way. I move my body just enough to feel good *now*, and I listen to my body about when to stop - and when to start again. Makayla is just so awesome in all the ways. She makes me feel so good. She is so warm and kind and gentle and intuitive. She took me to places [with the tapping processes] in such a way I didn't know they were coming. I was surprised and amazed by how deep our work went. I am so happy to have met Makayla and worked with her. I feel grateful and lucky that she was my coach. The biggest change is I feel less hard on myself and more ok with my body as it is now. |
My one on one sessions with Makayla were truly transformative. I came away with a sense of possibility and feeling capable of changing the course of what was happening in my life. My inner critic was so loud it was hard to tap on my own, but with you, I could, and the benefit and the calm I felt from doing this work was truly helpful. My work with Makayla was so helpful! I really liked how each session was uniquely tailored to me and how you drew from she tools and experience to address exactly what was coming up for me in a pointed, caring way. As a coach, Makayla is present with her clients and dynamic and fluid in her approach. She is very supportive (and) a great listener. I found her to be a wonderful, supportive coach who followed me where I needed to go and went there with me. Working with Makayla was great. I liked doing sessions over the phone because it allowed me to be much more vulnerable with my feelings and helped me feel less self-conscious. My eating feels so much better these days! It's easy for me to not eat when I'm not hungry. It all feels natural and easy and intuitive. I can tell my body is changing, my pants fit better! |
Makayla is a great coach, she is very kind, thoughtful, a great listener and has great in sights. She is able to help you get right to the core of your issues and gives you the tools you need to deal with them now and teaches you how to use them on your own. I loved working with Makayla and would recommend her to everyone.

Our work opened me up to a deeper connection with my body. It feels much easier to love and accept myself wherever I'm at on a given day. Connecting to a compassionate person like Makayla who understands and has gone through similar things as me was incredibly helpful. Makayla is a natural at coaching. She is the guide who has walked these roads before. The way she would lead me through the tapping was magical. Because I knew I could trust her, I followed where she led me -- through the dark tunnel and into the light to a new place. She helped me find my own new thoughts and magic there. It was so helpful to know that I could go to those dark places and I didn't have to be alone or scared. Now, I have these tools and it feels like Makayla is here with me when I tap. This work has helped me remember my power, and given me a new way to relate to myself. Makayla has a very special gift of helping people down this healing path.

Makayla’s a really great coach--she’s easy to talk to and non-judgmental. For pretty much my whole life I’ve used food to soothe my emotions and to avoid my feelings. I also tended to overbook myself so I wouldn’t have time to address my emotions. Makayla really helped with my specific issues so I could dig into all of the stuff going on underneath my relationship with food. Specifically, she guided me through regression tapping so I was able to take the emotions out of the food. She also created personalized audios for me to help with issues around family, relationships, and stress (all of which reflected in my eating patterns and weight), which I found incredibly helpful. Today, I’m not so concerned about my weight, and I feel good about my body and my relationship to food, so I have a lot more time and energy to really focus on my life and what I want out of it. It’s actually pretty incredible! I wholeheartedly recommend Makayla as a Coach! She has a warm gentle way of creating such an environment of understanding and compassion. I felt like I could share any of my secrets with her. She helped me to undo the reasons that I was in my kitchen pantry several times a day looking for “treats.” Now, the mindless trips to the pantry are a thing of the past, my relationship with my husband and kids has also improved. Thanks Makayla! Working with Makayla helped me to finally address the emotional side of my relationship to food. The sessions became my therapy, connecting to those emotions and how they were interacting with my body and food choices. With the use of EFT in one on one coaching sessions, Makayla gently walked me through the process to better understand how my past relationships, experiences and circumstances had created my triggers to overeat. With that clearer understanding, and by releasing them with EFT, food choices slowly started becoming a conscious choice, not the whim of an emotional trigger, and thus healthier! |
Things are in the best place they've ever been; I feel happy and fulfilled in my body and in my relationships. I am in a place of really deep acceptance. I'm ok with myself in a way that never felt accessible before. The biggest change is that I used to feel like there was a line between my head and my body. I struggled to sit in my body: I was numb and disconnected. My head knew what to do but my body couldn't get on board. My work with Makayla helped break that line into a beautiful flowing energy. I discovered that I have strong, deep, wise intuition that I have the tools to tune into. |
I feel so free now. I have a whole life filled with activities that are fun. I love being physical and feeling my body. I wake up in the morning and feel my flat belly while I'm still half asleep and smile knowing it’s not a dream! I am finally in a body I adore! Makayla is knowledgeable, positive, funny and encouraging. I would highly recommend her as a coach. She has a natural ability to guide people through various issues with ease. |
Makayla, you are a delight to work with. There is always a sense of ease to the work we do together, even when the topics are intense. You are such a gifted coach and a true healer. You guide each session with expertise and the results I have had with you are unbelievable! Makayla met me where I was, which wasn't a great place, and she was patient, encouraging, and flexible with how she worked with me. I know I would not have had the confidence to move forward with all of the things I've done, that I needed for myself, without this work. I didn't know where to turn, didn't know about addiction and how to handle it. Tapping, anger work, and talking in our sessions helped me to move forward. I feel so much more love for myself where I am; I am kind to myself and treat myself with love and respect. I don't beat myself up anymore. |
Makayla McDonald has helped me in more ways than I even thought possible surrounding emotional eating and developing a healthier relationship with food. |
In working with Makayla, I immediately felt calmer and more able to handle the stress of daily life. She gently reminded me of my own power and assisted in the powerful healing of past trauma and that has stayed with me.
One of the most pivotal moments in working with Makayla was a powerful guided visualization of my highest self. I often tap back into that self to gain power and guidance.
Makayla is both so gentle and so incredibly strong. The tapping sessions were incredibly healing and I am so thankful for her guidance during a time of great pain and confusion.
The work we did has quelled so many of my impulsive detrimental behaviors and has helped illuminate a positive future free of habits that disempower me. I feel stronger and more connected to my truest self after working with Makayla.
