Get To Know Your Coach, Jacquelyn
Certified Family, Couples and Personal Life Coach
​
I am passionate about partnering with individuals to help them feel empowered to live the life they envision. I am a wife of 25 years. I’m a mom to three wonderful and amazing adult children, a Nani to two exceptional children, and an Auntie to too many to count! I have had the incredible privilege of being of service to my community by caring for families through my childcare business for 20+ years. I am blessed to continue serving officially as a certified family, couples, and personal life coach.
I know firsthand the challenges that so many of us face—the challenges of being attentive to career, family, and our own personal needs. I have juggled a successful career while raising a family and experienced the guilt and stresses that can come with trying to do it all. But I also know it is possible to have a vision for what you’d like your life to look like and what you’d like it to feel like. And to also be totally present while moving toward that vision.
​
My Approach
Everyone has the potential to create the life they envision. While I am not a therapist and do not provide therapy, my approach to coaching is holistic and individualized. I will work with you to understand your unique goals and challenges and develop a plan tailored to your needs.
As a coach, I help to:
-
Clarify your goals and priorities.
-
Create a plan to achieve your goals.
-
Set boundaries and say no.
-
Overcome obstacles and challenges.
-
Build self-confidence and resilience.
-
Live a life that is true to self.
I believe that we all have the potential to live a fulfilling and amazing life. I am also a firm believer in the power of support. I will provide you with support and encouragement throughout our time together to help ensure you reach your vision for yourself, your family, and your relationship.
My Story
I was born in Oregon and raised in the City of Roses—home of the Portland Trail Blazers. I am one of 7 siblings but am blessed to have a host of bonus sisters and brothers.
​
I married my amazing hubby, James, early in life at 23. We had each come into the relationship with a child, he a son, me a daughter. Together, we had our youngest son.
​
When our youngest was born, with the support of my husband and children, I had the privilege of taking a year’s leave from my office job to invest in my passion for serving others. Living out my childhood dream, I started my own family childcare business.
​
I never returned to that office job. I absolutely loved what I was building with the families! From creating a curriculum for the kids, planning activities and field trips to creating and nurturing beautiful relationships with the children and families. We genuinely had incredible connections. It became more than just ‘a childcare’ or ‘school’; it became a community. A community that is 20+ years in today continues to be a supportive, loving, and nurturing space. A space that is always welcoming.
​
So, needless to say, the support that I receive from our little community, or as we like to call it, our village, while I’ve ventured into the beautiful space of Life Coaching has been amazing. My passion for continuing to care for and provide a safe space for others to share and grow is being nurtured by those around me.
I would love the opportunity to be a part of your supportive and uplifting community, your village!!!! Book a free 30-minute 1-on-1 online coaching consultation with me now so we can start you on this next amazing part of your journey to start LIVING the life you envision!
