I’m so excited!
After 13 weeks it’s Fay’s last session today! I can’t wait to do our evaluation taking a look at the leaps and bounds that have been made!
After 4 weeks she said
“…I am seeing myself for the first time and actually liking what I see!” Fay

So I’ll keep this simple.

I have one coaching spot open to start this month!

I’m sharing this now because some women in December waited for calendar to change to start and then realize in the middle of January that they are still just thinking about it rather than bringing their desires into action.
The women I have just started working with are ecstatic that they have taken the deeper into their inner realms, into who they REALly are. Connecting with their heart-mind and soul through their daily lives and physical practice!

So let’s create a shift together and organize a freshly created starting point.
I work with women who are already ready — quietly, honestly, deeply — even if it scares them a lot.

And before I go any further, here’s what I’m not:

❌I’m not a therapist.
❌I’m not a counsellor.
❌I’m not a psychologist.
❌And I’m absolutely not a convincer.

If you need convincing, it’s not your moment.
And that’s completely fine.💖

Here’s what I am:
✅A brilliant recognizer of patterns.
✅A kind supporter of inner reunion.
✅An inspiring encourager of women who care about caring for others.
✅A guide for women who have held everyone else together for far too long.
✅A mirror for the part of you that’s tired of performing “I’m fine.
✅A human with 43.5 years of teaching and mentoring experience.

My coaching will bring clarity around the “you are not broken” cliché.
But let me be honest — there were times in the last two years when I felt heartbroken….. a thousand tiny pieces.
And I had a choice:

Glue myself back together quickly…
or stay undone long enough to ask for help, to be coached into becoming someone new.

I chose the second path.
Yes, I had to invest my time, effort, and money.
These choices changed everything.
It’s why I coach the way I do today.

Not to rebuild the old pieces —
but to patiently create woman who’s emerging and for who you are becoming .

As my first coaching client, Fay, wrote:

“Jacqui has a gift for expressing things so beautifully and understanding how I feel and what I’m struggling with. Her responses, free from judgment but full of positive and constructive feedback, touch me. Working with her does me good — it’s a beautiful start to the day. I am seeing myself for the first time and actually liking what I see!”

If you’re the woman who’s been feeling the shift…
If you’re tired of being strong in silence…
If you want 2026 to feel different, because you feel different…
If you want to cultivate change but have not one clue where to start.
Then this might be your moment.

If you want to explore how, just comment or message me for a chat.

No pressure — just a conversation about the transformation our sessions will create.
I only want to work with those where a deeper connection will light us both up, so no sneaky selling techniques — Just an authentic conversation about changing our I will share what I offer 😉

And Jeff’s end of year poem is once again a beauty

The best definition I’ve ever heard of commitment:

*You choose one life,
and you let all the others die.*

You stop fantasising about parallel selves and unrealised futures.
You stop half-living, half-inside a thousand imagined lives.

You grieve the lives you will never live, the selves you will never be.
Yes. Grief sits at the heart of commitment.

All the other paths.
All the other options.

It is a direct encounter with death.
Not the concept of it, but the reality of it, how it permeates life and is one with it.

Sacred commitment is the falling away of countless possible futures.

And yet, in that grief, something settles.
Something ancient and deep.

As the other fantasy lives die, you can finally be present for this one.

You can finally… live.

You plant your flag here.
In this body.
In this moment.
On this path.

You say YES to where you are!

In sacred commitment, your feet finally touch the ground.

It is not restriction or loss of freedom.
It is a portal to great joy.

- Jeff Foster

As you can see I have “ No time to rush”
Most people show a full January calendar.
I’m showing you an empty one.

Some might call this bad business.
I call it practicing what I preach! No time to rush for me!

I’m taking a week off — for family time and long hot baths!
Giving myself that inbetween time before creating something new!
My new calendar will be ready by 31 December,
and I’m genuinely excited to fill it —
not with lots of entertainment ,
but with purposeful planning and meaningful events.

This isn’t procrastination, (though maybe a little😉)
It’s a trusting intention to enjoy the process.

I don’t plan to be busy.
I plan to be aligned, offering lessons that take us “Beyond asana” into transforming and engaging practices.
The link to my workshop on the 29th can be found
