About
My Story
Hi, I'm Jacqueline. For over a decade, I've walked alongside people who feel called to create change: in themselves, in their communities, and in the world.
I once thought changing the world meant policy and politics, so I became a lawyer. But my journey led somewhere I didn't expect: into the inner lives of people who are choosing to lead, create, and shape reality from courage and authenticity.
My own path here wasn't straightforward.
Ten years ago, I found myself in a hospital bed, exhausted and lost. From the outside, my life had looked solid. On the inside, I'd been running on pressure and anxiety, disconnected from myself. The version of success I had been chasing fell apart.
What followed was years of reorientation: learning to live from the truth of who I am rather than from expectations or fear. I sat with parts of myself I'd avoided for years. I let go of who I thought I was supposed to be and learned to be in the present.
It was a powerful, deeply spiritual experience that expanded my consciousness and transformed my understanding of what is possible in a life lived with presence.
That experience taught me something I now bring to every conversation: real transformation doesn't happen through insight alone, or willpower, or strategy. It happens in space where you can slow down, meet yourself, and integrate who you are and where you've been.
Again and again, I've seen the same truth:
When a person grows in depth, capacity, and inner mastery, their leadership expands with them. The ripples of impact move outward into relationships, organizations, and the wider world.
Facilitating personal transformation is how I work. And this is how I now change the world.
