About Me
Hi, I’m Clara Mackinlay—a holistic psychotherapist specializing in helping women reconnect with their intuition, break generational patterns, and embrace lives of radical authenticity.
Growing up as the daughter of hardworking immigrant parents, my upbringing was shaped by cultural expectations and high standards. Yet, from an early age, I questioned and challenged the status quo. What others saw as defiance, I later came to recognize as a sensitive child courageously clinging to her intuition—an innate wisdom we’re all born with but often lose due to trauma, conditioning, and societal expectations.
Most of my life has been defined by dancing to the beat of my own drum. I’ve wrestled with feelings of being behind in life and struggled with conflicting desires to fit in while owning my individuality. I’ve grappled with the weight of disappointing others and myself. Yet through it all, I’ve discovered the profound power and freedom that come from living a life that’s uniquely mine: fiercely authentic, deeply aligned, and unapologetically true to who I am.
It takes courage to dare to be different—but it’s so worth it. This group is an extension of the work I do with clients, creating a space where women can share their struggles, celebrate their individuality, and explore what it means to live authentically. I specialize in supporting women who feel like the “black sheep” of their families or identify as generational pattern breakers—women who dare to live differently, reclaim their inner knowing, and create lives that align with their values, goals, and dreams.
If you’re navigating life-stage challenges, redefining success on your own terms, or searching for a community of women who truly “get it,” you’re in the right place. Let’s walk this journey together.
