About

 Hi, I'm Penny Mackay

Having suffered from anxiety at various points in my life, I have always had the feeling that modern medicine's approach to eradicating symptoms via medication felt like a 'quick' fix but I was unaware of any alternative that resonated with me.

Following an acute episode of anxiety in my 20s, I was introduced to Mind Body Reconnect by a family member. This, alongside my own personal reading and exploration proved to be life changing.

It taught me the power of listening to my emotions and no longer fearing my symptoms. I learnt that they are in fact a call to stand up and listen. By bringing awareness and compassion to both my symptoms and myself, I was able to see the symptoms for what they were. Loud emotions seeking expression.

The approach and tools I picked up have been invaluable. There isn't a day that goes by I don't use them and I love their simplicity.

Following my experience, it was inevitable that I would want to share this knowledge with as many people as possible, so I completed a year long training with the Mind Body Reconnect organisation in July 2021. A month later, I set up my own company Mind Body Truth and am so excited to see it grow. Forever learning, I plan to complete more study with Gabor Mate in Compassionate Inquiry later this year.

I am passionate about sharing this knowledge more widely so we can live in a world that validates the emotional experience rather than hides from it.
