Hey There! Welcome!

I’m Lee-Ann McKenzie (Lee for short), and I’m so grateful you’ve landed on my little home on the internet! This space exists for you to get to know me better, and I truly honour you, your energy, and the time you’re taking to be here.

Let’s get stuck right in.

I’m a Soulful Life Coach, passionate about helping women who feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in cycles of doubt to step into their personal power and create a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and free. My mission? To help you trust yourself, own what you want—without guilt—and take bold, aligned action toward the things & life you actually desire — without waiting for approval from anyone else.

How did I get here?

My journey to coaching hasn’t been a straight line. It’s been full of leaps of faith, self-discovery, and moments of deep trust in myself—even when others didn’t understand my choices.

I grew up in Timaru, New Zealand, with a strong drive to push myself—whether in competitive sports, coaching kids, or helping friends with everything from skiing to styling hair. That passion for helping others made me believe I needed a “traditional” path to success.

So, at 18, I decided I was going to university—no one was going to stop me. I had no idea what I wanted to study, but I figured Social Work would land me a solid job. Then Criminal Justice caught my eye, and suddenly, I wanted to be a police officer!

But the more I followed this path, the more I felt out of alignment. After working in a courthouse, burnout hit me. I was exhausted, uninspired, and diagnosed with depression—which was a major wake-up call.

That was when I started questioning everything.

In my lowest moments, I discovered meditation. (Yes, I know—cliché. But it changed everything.) I started journaling, hiking, and spending more time in nature—just being instead of constantly doing. And slowly, I found my way back to myself.

That journey led me to writing, which led to Be Free with Lee—originally a blog about mindfulness and travel. But as I grew, so did my vision. I realized that my gift wasn’t just about sharing my experiences—it was about helping others find their own version of freedom.

Through personal and spiritual growth, I’ve explored everything from manifestation and astrology to intuition and self-trust. But the biggest lesson I’ve learned? True freedom comes from listening to yourself and having the courage to follow through.

What I Do Now

As a Soulful Life Coach, I help women reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives that feel expansive, grounded, and free. I blend soulful tools (like meditation, manifestation, and intuition work) with practical coaching strategies to help you:

✅ Get clear on what you truly want (not what others expect of you)
✅ Break free from constant self-doubt and overthinking
✅ Set boundaries and take action—without guilt
✅ Trust yourself fully—even when it feels scary
✅ Step into your most aligned, unapologetic, and free self

Because the truth is: you don’t need permission —you just need the courage to go after what you want. And I’ll be right here, guiding you every step of the way.

You might be someone who…

💭 Feels stuck in people-pleasing, afraid to take up space, or constantly putting others first.

💭 Has big dreams but struggles to turn them into real action—something always seems to get in the way.

💭 Craves meaning, purpose, and more from life but feels unsure where to start.

💭 Feels disconnected from yourself and your intuition, longing to trust your inner voice more.

💭 Is caught in the busyness of life, running on autopilot instead of moving toward what truly lights you up.

💭 Knows deep down you’re meant for more—you just need the courage to take the leap.

If that’s you, I see you—and I’m here to help you step into your courage, claim your desires, and start living for YOU.
