"Jacqui gave me a great head start into the life I'm living now. I can still remember quite vividly some of the conversations we had, and how, during those conversations, I made commitments that have led me to the place where I find myself right now. I'm the same guy, yet I feel empowered, and feel a measure of control over my destiny, something I hadn't felt in 20 years. Jacqui has helped awaken me from a long slumber. Every day I arise with energy and a sense of purpose, and I go to bed grateful and exhausted.

Jacqui challenged me to explore my potential. She was non-judgmental and open to lots of possibilities. Maybe that is part of her gift, the ability to help people recognize and open up to their possibilities. I wish I would have met her years ago..."

Radiologist

"I was feeling really stuck in my life and in my thoughts but with the help of Jacqui's insight and ability to see situations and life experiences from a healthier and more positive perspective I was able to change my life view and I no longer felt stuck and scared. Jacqui guided me through some troubled times and nudged me to see life in a new way- that anything is possible if you believe it is. Jacqui is caring, supportive and gives you that 'push' to move past your fears and to live a more fulfilled life. Thank you Jacqui for all that you have done for me and for my family."

"Robert Heinlein said "In the absence of clearly defined goals we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it". I can give a great deal of credit to Jacqui for my emancipation. Jacqui would say it's all me, but she was the catalyst for change.

Since working with Jacqui I have taken a different path. This path is taking me away from my day job and leads towards my true self, an artist and writer. In concrete terms, my new volunteer job has just turned into a short term contract, I have started a first draft of my new opus and as an aquaphobe - walked up to my neck in a swimming pool. Daring stuff for me. I have received and met probing, funny and annoying challenges and am a better person for having done so.

I'm very grateful to have worked with Jacqui. She is a wise and wonderful woman. Dr. Mark Albion said "Don't get really good at what you don't want to do". And I say "If your life isn't what you know it can be, call her."

"Jacqui is a remarkably warm and perceptive coach who really gets me. She is not afraid to call me on my stuff but does so with tact and dignity."

"Jacqui brings professionalism, transparency and humour to the table. She guided me in setting up goals but never led those decisions. From the beginning we had an equal partnership and her use of intuition was a great tool for exploration."

Amy Hinrichs

"I have experienced a sea-change during this coaching experience. Jacqui gently but assertively made it possible for me to astonish myself when I was able to verbalize a desire for a reinvented self. The investment in a stable self, an investment that can lead to inertia, is not something one loses; it becomes a reminder of how much one wants to change and to fight that all too common depression of the spirit. I am taking away a new person and companion-myself.

Jacqui is a rare gem of a person. She treated me with nothing but absolute respect. I felt a bond of trust very quickly. She is straightforward and at the same time can make connections on the figurative or metaphoric level. Jacqui has a sense of humour and quick-wittedness that is never inappropriately used. In fact, her intellectual agility is clearly a requirement in what must be a very rewarding but also enervating experience. Jacqui is direct, honest, clear, and warm."

"Jacqui is professional, nonjudgmental, and genuinely caring. Coaching gave me a second chance at happiness, security and connectedness with myself. I learned how to say no to other people's agendas and start living my own life. I have successfully taken steps to get out of a difficult and challenging relationship. I am now able to define my core values and confidently stand by them. I feel vibrant and worthy!"

Velvetanne Madro,
Occupational Health Nurse

"Jacqui's clients must be ready to be pushed towards bigger changes than they ever imagined for themselves, for although loving, Jacqui is courageous and steadfast in calling her clients forth to their highest potential."

Rebecca Garland,
President Elan Performance

"Jacqui has motivated me to take action, challenged me to think differently and given me insight to see life in new ways. She creates space for me. Jacqui is one of my greatest cheerleaders."

Group Workshops & Facilitation

"I learned a lot about what is important to me. It's the stuff that is always there, but sort of blurry or fuzzy, and through the workshop it snapped into sharp focus and became more clear. I also conceptualized a key personal value in a new way, which is compelling me to take new actions. Jacqui is a great facilitator: she is intuitive, sensitive to what people are going through, challenging for the sake of helping folks move beyond their limitations, has lots of ideas and insights, is highly organized, and is very clear in communications."

Kara Exner, CPCC
Nine Lions Coaching

"This workshop was a powerful experience for me. I was able to clarify many of my future goals in a remarkably short time, as well as express some deep feelings of sadness and grief in a safe and nurturing environment. Jacqui has amazing intuition about what each participant needs and she led our group with sensitivity, compassion and wisdom."

Dana Martin
Professional Dog Trainer

"I really enjoyed being together with other like-minded woman. Jacqui created a safe, nonjudgmental environment for self-exploration and was very responsive to the energy in the room. I was able to leave with new insights about myself and specific tools to take action towards my dreams."
