We had the good fortune of connecting with Kent & Heather McKean and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kent & Heather, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
My wife and I come from extremely different backgrounds. I grew up very sheltered and more restrictive. We moved around a lot and I learned to be what I thought people wanted. Heather grew up with addiction/abuse and relatively loose family life. She moved around a lot to escape reality, trying to be different. But we both had our own set of dysfunctional coping skills and stuckness. Heather’s manifested in physical ailments and chronic health issues, while my coping skills created a stuck-mentality, relational problems, and never feeling big emotions. As my wife’s health deteriorated to liver and kidney failure on top of a myriad of other “unhealable” diseases and after trying every western and eastern medicine and the regime we could get our hands on, we started to dive deep into the mind/body connection which is where the healing began. Within months, my wife went from an on-her-death-bed IV drip at home to fully healed and in better shape than when I had met her ten years prior. Then I was faced with a whole new role in my relationship with her and my kids, and I started spiraling… until I too started dealing with the rewiring of my neuro-net highway. Once she healed physically and I healed emotionally, our journey into the mind continued to evolve into what we do now in life and in business. So how did our background impact who we are today? Legacies were given, and we are thankful. Legacies were accepted, and we are thankful. Legacies were changed, and we are thankful. And we continue to evolve as we raise our children and bring restorative emotional health to the world at large through Mind Change… and we are thankful!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Mind Change is a healing system utilizing the power of the mind/body system. It is a system designed to allow psychological stability by reprogramming the brain’s mental patterns (neuropathways) to impact our responses (subconscious) and behavior towards life positively.

Mind Change operates with tangible physical mechanics backed by science. It is a collection of new cutting-edge techniques and processes that integrates the most effective elements of many modalities and the mind’s great ability to transform itself, reducing and eliminating harmful physical and psychological effects of anxiety, depression, chronic pains, fears, phobias, and addictions. It addresses problems such as weight loss, self-esteem issues, grief, and loss, as well as chronic illness.

One of the most appreciated aspects is that it is fast, direct, and to the point. Because Mind Change isn’t simply a program for conscious happiness, the results are lasting and transformative. It not only changes the way you think about life, others, and yourself, but the rewiring of the brain completely transforms the trajectory of your life for the better!

Was it easy to get here? Not really. It took years of illness for my wife and years of dysfunction within myself to get to a place where we were able to see the deeper issues but also to understand how we can change them! Lessons we learned? Always keep growing. Always give yourself grace. Always remember how far we’ve come. Keep moving forward.

We’d want the world to know that everyone ALREADY has the power within to heal, change, and overcome. We aren’t some magic wizards who heal the broken. We come from the belief that no one is broken. In fact, everyone is working exactly the way they are wired! Don’t like the outcome? Change the wiring. And as each person changes individually, we actually change the world cumulatively because our change stretches beyond the here and now into the quantum mechanics of an understanding we do not fully comprehend, and our brains are the most powerful tool on this planet. We just have to learn to harness the brain’s amazing ability.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Having lived in Maui for 6 years, if anyone came to visit us for a week, we’d hit up all the lesser-known beaches, deserted and dangerous waterfall hikes, and stop at our friends’ Vegan food truck on the way back 🙂 We’d surf, swim, and relax, taking in all the goodness and beauty and serenity of the island. I’d introduce them to our incredible community of like-minded, open-minded, strong-minded friends.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Wow — So many people. We owe everything to those who have come before us. Our families for teaching us and giving to us in the best way they could, every chance they could.
Our friends, who have supported us and loved us even at times when we didn’t see our own worth.
Our kids, who have been some of the biggest revealers of ways we needed to grow.
Each other, for never giving up and always believing the best.
All the neuro-scientists and quantum physics geniuses who have helped make the complexity of the brain a simpler understanding fur us.
Bodyworkers, Eastern thought, and the innumerable healing modalities we were able to sink our teeth into such as NLP, hypnosis, Solution Focussed Therapy, PolyVagal Theory, And the countless other teachers, healers, and those who have pushed the boundaries of standard thought and therapy.
And thank you for God, for opening up our minds and eyes and heart so know more, see clearer, and feel deeper into the world of healing and evolutionary thought.
