Who is Scott MacEachern?
Hello, I’m Scott MacEachern—a proud father, a tradesman, a lifelong learner, and a man who has transformed adversity into purpose. A Barrie Ontario resident with nearly half a century of navigating life’s challenges and successes, I bring with me not only decades of real-life experience, but also a real understanding of what it means to rise and fall.
With nearly five decades of life experience, including 15+ years in various leadership roles and my own personal recovery journey, I now dedicate my work to helping others reconnect with their emotions, build inner resilience, and learn healthier ways to show up for themselves and those they love.
Following a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder, I began a full-scale transformation—Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Self-Reflection, Sobriety and a return to Education. I’m now a Certified Life Coach, and have earned a Graduate Certificate in Mental Health Interprofessional Practice. Ultimately developing the skills necessary to work with clients, and to deliver effective life coaching services and help others create their best lives.
During my journey I discovered I’m a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)—a revelation that gave me language and permission to embrace my empathy, depth, and intuitive strengths. This self-knowledge became my compass, helping me create boundaries, balance, and healthier relationships—starting with myself.
Now, I support other people who are seeking more from life than just surviving. It’s time to thrive, whether you’re navigating addiction recovery, emotional burnout or midlife transitions, I bring a grounded, judgment-free space where you can drop the mask and do the real work.
My approach blends:
Lived experience & emotional authenticity
Mental health education & peer-informed practices
HSP-informed strategies for energy, boundary & stress management
Real talk—because you don’t need fluff, you need truth and tools
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to take the next right step. I’m here to walk that step with you.
