Hi, I'm Mary

I'm not a therapist or life coach. I'm a human mechanic who fixes broken patterns that keep successful people stuck.

For seven years, I've helped intelligent professionals identify and repair the real problems behind their frustration, anxiety, and burnout. Most advice treats symptoms while the actual malfunction keeps running in the background.

The problem you think you have isn't the real problem.

Why Smart People Stay Stuck

You're running on old programming that made sense once but doesn't work anymore. Despite your success, outdated mental patterns make everything harder than it needs to be.

There's nothing wrong with you. You just never learned the difference between symptoms and root causes.

My Story: From Stuck to Systematic

I spent thirty years stuck in exhausting patterns running around people-pleasing, seeking perfectionism, and being emotionally overwhelmed 24/7. The wake-up call came when I saw my friends and colleagues developing identical dysfunctions.

That's when I realized: you can't teach someone to live well when you're stuck yourself.

So I figured out how to systematically troubleshoot human patterns instead of managing symptoms forever.

How Human Mechanics Works

Individual Mechanics isn't therapy or traditional self-help. It's practical troubleshooting for human operating systems:

  1. Diagnose what's actually broken (not just symptoms)

  2. Repair specific patterns with proven protocols

  3. Optimize systems that work smoothly under pressure

Real Results from Real People:
