I specialize in the body-mind connection and how we can heal and regulate our nervous system through therapeutic touch and working with our mindset.
About Me
Hi there, I’m Makayla Brooks, (MEd, LMT), the heart & energy behind Body & Mind Connections. I’m a Life Coach for Women | Women’s Empowerment Coach, as well as a Licensed Massage Therapist. My mission is to help women prioritize their well-being, feel supported and seen through life’s challenges, and to feel confident & empowered to embrace their most authentic selves. I want women to see their value and embrace taking care of themselves in every way, from their body to their mindset.
A Little About My Journey
As a single mom, a former teacher, a bachelor's degree in education, a master’s degree in counseling and development, and present business owner, I understand how overwhelming life’s transitions can feel. Over the years, I’ve faced my own challenges with faith shifts, career changes, and identity struggles. These experiences taught me the importance of nurturing both body and mind—and inspired me to create a safe space where women can find the tools and support they need to recharge, grow, and reconnect with who they really are.
Massage Therapy
As a skilled massage therapist, I specialize in easing tension, reducing pain, and helping clients find physical and emotional relief. Whether you need to relax after a stressful week or manage chronic pain, my goal is to provide a personalized experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. With every session tailored to what each client needs, there's nothing like seeing someone leave the massage table feeling lighter and more at ease.
Women’s Empowerment Coaching
Sometimes, we all need a little help finding clarity or courage when life feels messy. That’s where my coaching comes in. I work with women who are ready to make midlife their best life—whether that means embracing a new identity, letting go of old doubts, or just figuring out what’s next.
My coaching sessions are designed to help you:
Rediscover your identity and purpose.
Overcome limiting beliefs and mindset blocks.
Build confidence and take actionable steps toward your goals.
Through one-on-one coaching or group sessions, I guide women toward a deeper connection with themselves and a more fulfilling life.
Why Work With Me?
At Body and Mind Connections, you’ll find more than just services—you’ll find a partner in your journey to wellness and empowerment. I’m not here to tell you what you “should” do or be—I’m here to walk alongside you as you discover what lights you up and helps you grow.
Whether it’s physical or emotional healing through massage or personal growth through a coaching session, my purpose is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can focus on you. A space where you can just be…without fear of judgment.
A Little More About Me
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me with my three amazing kids and sweet grandbaby. I also love learning new ways to inspire and uplift others, whether through books, podcasts, or creating content to help women live authentically.
