Hi, I’m McKenzie.
Founder
Master of Psychology | Certified Holistic Nutritionist | Certified Health and Wellness Coach
As a former two-sport Division I athlete, I’ve always understood the importance of caring for the body. But for years, that care was rooted in performance, discipline, and external expectations, not sustainability or true well-being. I explored nearly every health & wellness trend in search of feeling better, yet often felt more disconnected from my body in the process.
It wasn’t until I faced my own health challenges that I began to understand wellness differently. I experienced firsthand how food, movement, mindset, stress, and emotional health are deeply interconnected and how lasting change requires more than surface-level solutions. That journey reshaped my understanding of health and became the foundation for Live WELLthier.
Live WELLthier was created as a psychologically informed wellness hub - a space that recognizes true health as both physical and mental, structured by evidence-based practices and guided by compassion. We view health and wellness from a much larger perspective that includes nervous system support, behavior change, movement, recovery, and emotional well-being.
My work is informed by a background in Public Health and Psychology, certifications in holistic nutrition and health & wellness coaching, and advanced doctoral training in Clinical Psychology (one year from graduation!) alongside a Master of Public Health. This training allows me to integrate evidence-based principles into wellness in a way that is ethical, sustainable, and deeply human.
At Live WELLthier, the focus is not on perfection or rigid protocols. It’s about helping individuals reconnect with their bodies, build sustainable habits, and create a lifestyle that feels aligned and supportive of real life. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected and I believe wellness should feel grounding, not stressful.
Our approach centers on consistency over perfection, supporting both the mind and body so that health becomes something you live - not something you constantly strive to fix. Because true well-being extends far beyond what we eat or how we move; it’s about feeling safe, supported, and at home in your body.
Live WELL!
