Welcome in lovelies, today I had the honor of speaking to Marie Lesaicherre. Marie, PhD, MBA, is the founder and CEO of Akesa Health, a startup offering a self-guided therapy app helping people transform anxiety and distress into resilience. She is a global entrepreneurial executive with 18 years experience launching tech businesses for General Electric and startups in the US, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
I absolutely loved her and despite the distractions of my puppy and my computer losing power, we powered through!
Forming her business in Mental Health came about after discovering some child hood trauma that she didnt know she had. Until these trauma resurfaced and derailed her career. Marie experimented and trained in a lot of therapies (talk-therapy, psychedelics, energy and holistic healing) and eventually found therapies that saved my life. She also got very interested in neuroscience, mind-body connections, holistic health and spirituality, and very frustrated with the lack of affordable and scientifically-validated mental health solutions.
She created an app "Akesa" . Our branis have innate self-healing potential, hence she founded Akesa Health, and created Akesa, an app that helps people tap into their brain's self-healing potential and transform anxiety and distress into resilience- the ability to face life's setbacks without needing a therapist.
I, myself, have downloaded the app and LOVE it.
Please reach out to Marie, our mental health is priority and do not be afraid to set boundaries, to say no and cut people out of our lives that no longer serve our peace.
