Jacqueline Y. Chu

I'm an author and speaker in Toronto, Canada.

Years ago, I was a stressed-out, anxious lawyer. The daily struggle with anxiety took a toll, and I eventually burned out and had to stop working because my life was falling apart: depression, health issues, relationship problems, alcohol dependence... you name it.

The day I hit rock bottom, I finally realized that I needed to change. I started to face my anxiety. I came face to face with past trauma. I learned to sit with and process my emotions rather than run away from them. I learned to accept and love myself. I studied how the human mind works and learned to master my own mind.

I used to think that life was nothing but suffering.

Now, I live a life of joy, meaning, and service.

More About My Work:

As a psychotherapist and coach, I help people free themselves from the prison of their minds, discover their gifts, and create a life of their dreams.

I’m an expert in mental health from an empowerment perspective.

Mental health is not merely the absence of disorders and problems but the key to an optimal state of well-being that empowers people to enjoy life, excel in their pursuits, and make significant contributions in society.

My work destigmatizes mental health and redefines it as an attractive and desirable aspect of our overall wellbeing.

Drawing on personal experiences, I’m passionate about championing mental health for those in high-pressure professions who are often expected to set aside their “personal issues” and perform at their best.

Through a deep understanding of the inner challenges faced by high achievers, especially those who are also highly sensitive, I help people achieve sustainable joy and peak performance.
