My Story
I had a tough childhood and slipped into drugs and alcohol at a very young age. I was anorexic, bulimic, depressed and suffered terrible anxiety and cripplingly low self-esteem. Finding comfort in my addictions, I spent my time functioning badly or in total isolation. I simply couldn’t handle life.
In my mid-twenties, I hit rock bottom and couldn’t continue. I decided something had to change. No matter what it took I was going to transform my life. Somewhere deep down inside I knew I was here for much more. I tried different forms of therapy but felt no one ‘got it’, that no one really understood me. So I decided to start studying and find a way to help myself.
From the day I made that change I haven’t looked back. Over the last 15 years, I’ve studied all over the world and along my path I have come across people desperate for advice and guidance just as I had been years before. They turned to me asking for help. Having been there myself, I found it easy to appreciate the battles they were fighting. More and more people approached me and it became evident my coaching practice had to be set up.
These days I grab life with both hands and believe strongly that anything is possible. I believe that we can do or be or have anything we want once we truly manage our mind. Each experience from my own story taught me so much. I am grateful for every single lesson and now get to give back.
I began my formal studies at the exclusive Bennett Stellar University in Florida, USA. I went on to train further in the ‘Austin Method’ of Advanced Structured Hypnotherapy in London, England and then continued my studies at the prestigious Life Coach School. I also trained as a Health Coach at the IIN. As important as these formal qualifications are my life experience and intuition are key to my success. I am an advocate of the works of Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson and Dr Wayne Dyer.
Having trained extensively in a number of different techniques from Advanced Structured Hypnotherapy, NLP and CBT (essentially methods of changing thought processes to eliminate negative behaviour) to life coaching, weight coaching and health coaching, I work with clients from all over the world who feel stuck, unable to change patterns of behaviour or move forward with issues and problems.
I use a variety of tools and techniques, unique to each client, to help them release anything and everything that is holding them back so they get free and feel fabulous. I help people help themselves.
Change your life today
I tell my clients the truth: the truth that other people will not tell them. I help people see the downside of being mean to themselves. I challenge any held belief that is not in my client’s best interest. I pull my clients up on the lies that they are telling themselves. I help my clients show up when they want to quit. I help my clients act from a place of love rather than fear. I ask my clients to reach for more of themselves. I help people figure out exactly what they need to do in order to change.
AK17/12/2023Jacqueline's energy is pure, realistic magic. Her calm and optimistic confidence is contagious. Every session was an awakening with the utmost self reflection, powerful insights, and a burst of motivation to learn more and apply the learning immediately to the different aspects of my life, where previously I may have been stuck, lost or unaware. Jacqueline's masterful guidance is incredibly intuitive and encouraging, yet logical and firm, and always uplifting and empowering.

Her advice was spot on – practical and easy to apply in my day-to-day life. The sessions felt tailored just for me, which made a huge difference. I've seen real progress in how I handle things at work and in my personal life. I totally recommend her to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, effective life coach. She's a game-changer!

I was struggling a lot with the feeling of being stuck, but since working with Jacqueline I have a new approach and am finding my life is progressing in the way I always wanted it so. I cannot recommend working with Jacqueline enough!
Giles G14/09/2023I’m so glad I reached out to Jacqueline earlier this year, it’s been a genuine game changer! I was going through a number of life changes & challenges, and the work with Jacqueline has really helped me to better understand and reprogram my thought patterns. This has enabled me to dramatically improve my mindset and empowered me to approach everything with full confidence. Jacqueline’s coaching is so powerful, and I loved that the tools used are so effective & easy to replicate in all number of scenarios. I also really appreciated Jacqueline’s approach. She’s amazing at challenging you in a way that really makes you think, whilst also being so supportive and approaching the sessions with great humour. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to make a change / improve their mindset!
Lauren15/08/2023Jacqueline is incredible and I would recommend working with her to anyone looking to make changes in their life but who feel they can’t do it alone. Jacqueline is kind, supportive, inspiring and having some similar life experiences made her so easy to relate to. Working with Jacqueline was a big investment for me but I’m so happy that I did because in just 3 sessions I’ve had so many lightbulb moments and saw results straight away with some things I’ve been struggling with for years. I’ve learnt so much and her approach/processes are completely different to anything I’ve experienced before. I love how Jacqueline simplifies everything and gave me the confidence to trust the process and put what she taught me into action between the sessions. I’m so grateful and honestly can’t thank Jacqueline enough!
Bailey Brown15/08/2023Working with Jacqueline was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend anyone wanting personal growth, and to make some positive life changes, to sign up for her coaching. She is a lovely person, a pleasure to talk to and great at what she does!
C B08/08/2023I was looking for a someone to help me find some direction in my life for months. I had gone through countless therapists and counsellors and then I found Jacqueline. Jacqueline is the best of the best and I finally feel like my life is moving in the right direction after years of feeling lost. Cannot recommend enough!
Monika Cechova12/06/2023It was a real privilege to work with Jacqueline. She has helped me to change my negative mind set and I am really grateful for all the things she has taught me. She really is the best!
anne-sophie heist12/04/2023I can't thank Jacqueline enough. Jacquline was willing to come along my rollercoaster health journey and helped me work through so many mental roadblocks that were truly the most valuable thing I could have asked for during this challenging and highly unpredictable time. She caught me each and every time when I would come back from hospital visits and help me reframe my thoughts to gain the calmness I was so desperately craving. I can highly recommend her if you need help gaining new perspectives on old and new issues that might hold you back.
Dawn Nagel29/03/2023I purchased Jacqueline’s book How To Do You in July of 2021. Due to some serious health and life issues, I was not able to read it until December 2022. Before I even finished to book, I knew that I needed to work with Jacqueline. I was in desperate need of learning how to think and how to control my thoughts. Working with Jacqueline is the very best investment I have ever made in myself! She is tough but I felt supported every step of the way. Her tools are so effective. Utilizing them teaches you how to think. You realize what you have believed about yourself (your life) is simply a thought you chose to think, that you are free to make a different choice and that if you don’t change your thoughts then nothing changes. My life is better every day because of my time with Jacqueline.
