About Me

Hi, I’m Mashi Scanlan, JD — Founder and Financial Planner.

I started Ikigai Financial & Insurance Services with a simple goal: to help remove financial stress so you can focus on what really matters — living with purpose and building a life you love.

I work with young and mid-career professionals and entrepreneurs, offering life and disability insurance, annuity strategies and holistic financial planning. My approach is rooted in empathy and guided by one principle: Listen First. That means real conversations, thoughtful planning, and advice tailored to your specific goals.

Before stepping into financial services, I practiced law, which taught me to navigate emotional and complex issues with clarity and kindness. Now, I use that same mindset to help clients make confident, informed decisions about their money and their future.

Outside of work, I’ve found my own purpose — traveling the world with my incredible fiancée, Claire, spending time with my dogs (Tommy & Tuppence) and inspiring and helping others build lives with purpose, free of financial stress while achieving their goals.

If you’re ready to move forward with less stress and more intention, let’s connect.
