Inventor/founder

Mackenzie Moran, MA, LMHC-A

Mackenzie Moran is the inventor of Heartistry and founder of Heartistry and Soulwrx. While doing her Master's degree in Humanistic Counseling, she explored her relationship with nature and Eastern and Western spiritual and psychological traditions. Combined with her background in hospitality, tourism, and event management, her soul's calling began to define itself and take her on a unique path she could not have foreseen.

Her spiritual gifts, creativity, love of people, and life all met in the creation of Heartistry. Today, she is a dedicated writer, game designer, and spiritual adventurer. Mackenzie is fascinated by the mind-body-spirit connection and humans' infinite potential. Her work merges ancient wisdom with modern science to empower individuals and the collective to liberate and trust the vast power within their hearts.

Margot Esther Borden, PhD

Margot Esther Borden, PhD, has been working internationally as a psychotherapist since 1986.
Margot discovered yoga and Indian philosophy in her childhood and meditation a few years later. This sparked her dedicated exploration of the physical, vital, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of human consciousness spanning nearly 30 years. Her search has involved both research and direct experience of many psychological and spiritual traditions, experiential therapies, as well as Eastern meditation and yogic techniques. Margot offers a therapeutic accompaniment which calls upon our inner intelligence and desire for congruence and self-mastery bringing us toward the realization of our true potential. Her therapeutic work is aimed at resolving life difficulties, developing self-understanding, self-acceptance and inner awareness thus inviting the emergence of our higher Self.
Margot completed her training in breath work in Paris in 1986 and her Master of Arts in Humanistic Psychology at the University of Durham in the UK in 1997. She speaks English, French, Italian, Hindi, and Spanish.

Their work is to support women to grow within themselves, their relationships, purpose and community through transformative experiences.
