Hi, I’m Jacqui — a Certified Health Coach, Life Coach, and Reiki Teacher based in Christchurch, New Zealand.

For most of my 20s and 30s, I navigated my own challenges with exhaustion, anxiety, gut issues, and low mood. No matter where I turned, I couldn’t find the clarity or support I needed to truly heal. I pushed through with sheer willpower, numbing myself with wine, ignoring what my body tried so hard to tell me — until eventually, I reached a point of complete depletion.

My healing began in 2014 when I was guided to Reiki. From there, one step at a time, I started learning how the body really heals — emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. I trained in life coaching, massage therapy, and metabolic health because I wanted to understand the whole picture, not just the symptoms.

But the deeper shift came later.

After building a business and creating an online program, I burned out — completely. I was overwhelmed, exhausted, and running on empty. As I approached 50, I realised something had to change. I needed to slow down, create stillness, and treat myself with far more gentleness and compassion.

Honouring this new chapter became a turning point — not just for me, but for the women I support. I realised through conversations with friends, clients, and other women my age that so many of us are longing for the same thing:
more space, more quiet, more presence, more ease.

For me, it’s not about giving up on my ambitions or purpose — I still have big dreams, plans to create more programs, and a passion to make a difference. But I’ve learned that pushing, striving, and doing it all alone isn’t the way to get there. Slowing down, creating space, and reconnecting with myself allows me to move forward with clarity, energy, and purpose — so I can live fully and make the impact I’m here to make.

Today, I bring together everything I’ve learned — Energy & Vitality Coaching, Reiki, and wellbeing practices — to help women reconnect with their natural rhythm, awaken their inner spark, and create lives that feel aligned, spacious, and deeply fulfilling.

I feel healthier, happier, and more energised now than I ever imagined possible. My body carries me up hills, my mind feels clear and calm (most of the time), and I have the space to be creative, connected, and present.

And this is what I want for you, too.

I would be honoured to walk beside you as you gently reconnect with yourself, rediscover what you’re truly longing for, and step confidently into the next chapter of your life — with more energy, clarity, and ease.

When you’re ready, I’m here. 💛
