Dr. MacKinnon was then inspired to assist Michael Tellinger to start the Ubuntu Liberation Movement in the United States in early 2016. After walking through her own experience of cancer and “spontaneous” healing in 2017, she felt compelled to move beyond traditional psychotherapy practices to provide support for the growing Awakening Community.

It is her life’s passion to help people release the ego to experience joy, inner peace, and clarity about the truth of their being. Her early career focus was integrative medicine, research on alternative therapies, and program development. Working as a clinical psychologist for Kaiser Permanente, Dr. MacKinnon developed the Mind Over Cancer mindfulness-based cancer recovery program for the oncology department.  She was also responsible for revising the weight and wellness curriculum for Kaiser Permanente Preventive Medicine.

Conducting Past Life Regression has been his focus with clients bringing a broad range of curiosities, physical, emotional and relationship concerns as well as a yearning to connect to their Higher Selves for guidance.

He currently practices QHHT Past Life Regression and Energy Healing in the Boston & Cape Cod area while serving in a family business.
