Virtual Wild Soul Journaling Circle
Join a group of like-minded wild souls who want guidance within their journaling practice.
If “trying harder” worked, you’d feel better by now.
You’re grieving the love, health, identity, time, and expectations you once had and you’re tired of carrying it alone.
You’re high-functioning but burnt out, numb, or overwhelmed by day-to-day responsibility.
You’ve tried all the “mindset tips,” but your body still feels braced for impact.
You’re ready to stop surviving and start living with meaning again.
Sound familiar?
You’re in the right place.
You’re not stuck because you’re lazy or broken.
You’re stuck because your survival strategies are still running the show.
This is where we stop forcing it and start listening so you can feel like yourself again.
HOW TO BE HERE IS ABOUT HOW YOU LIVE WHEN YOU BECOME MORE OF YOURSELF
This work isn’t about finding one perfect purpose or becoming a “new you.” It’s about becoming more you, operating with calm and confidence, courage and clarity, aligned intention, and self-trust. We honour who you’ve been, release what no longer fits, and choose the trajectory of who you’re becoming.
“We actually transform the world from within our hearts.” —Rainer Maria Rilke
WELCOME,
I’M
JACLYN
a soul-stirring, spine-aligning, cappuccino-making powerhouse who can see through your BS and lovingly call you into your greatness. I remind you that you are stronger than the resistance.
My other
credentials
include:
being a licensed holistic Chiropractor, a certified Chinese Medicine and acupuncture provider, a licensed Hypnotherapy and NLP practitioner, and an Integrative Happiness Coach.
In case you missed it, I’m not your average healer. I bring bold East Coast authenticity and a deeply compassionate heart, blending soul work with practical “okay, let’s work through this”. We’ll identify the patterns beneath the patterns, release what’s been held for too long, and rebuild your inner world so your outer life can finally reflect who you truly are—if you’re ready to say yes.
OUTSIDE OF COACHING AND RETREATS,I’m a devoted mama, a perpetual learner, and a low-key philosopher — you’ll catch me quoting Carl Jung, Brené Brown, and Mary Oliver.
I’ll coach you through a crisis while offering Earl Grey like it’s medicine. I write creative nonfiction on Substack, and I reconnect with myself with a daily journaling practice and playing my grand piano. Whether I am writing, teaching or coaching I am here for you, wherever you’re at.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
-
If you’re unsure what you need—or you’ve already completed a breakthrough and want momentum, this is where we keep going. These sessions are part guidance, part problem-solving, part nervous-system truth-telling. We can move fast or take it slow as we build self-awareness, mindfulness, and self-compassion so you stay aligned, steady, and connected to the real you.
Starting $211 per hour
-
My workshops and retreats are built for intelligent, capable people who are done with surface-level growth and ready for real change.
This work is grounded, structured, and experiential. We use creative activities and exercises to integrate nervous system science, NLP, and Time Line Therapy™ to increase emotional range, psychological resilience, and clarity of purpose. You won’t be asked to “share your feelings” for the sake of it. You’ll learn how your patterns operate, how your nervous system drives your decisions, and how to expand your capacity to stay steady under pressure.This is strength training for your inner life. You’ll leave with practical daily tools, aligned self-leadership, and the ability to stay open without losing your edge. This is about capacity and nervous system regulation.
No fluff. No spiritual bypassing.
Just the disciplined expansion of your Heart-Span™ , which is the true metric of a meaningful life — the strength, resilience, and emotional range required to stay open, connected, and courageous in the second half of life.
It's about upleveling to the next level of who you’re capable of being. -

THE VALUES THAT GUIDE EVERY SESSION
Vulnerability
When a leader shares her own struggles and fears, it opens others to know they aren’t alone. Sharing my own story with you on my Substack blog, and during retreats and workshops fosters a sense of safety and connection. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.
Compassion
Compassion is how we do this work without shame. I meet you (and your past self) with warmth and respect, so you can release what’s heavy, rebuild self-trust, and come home to wholeness, gently.
Creativity
Creativity is your divine birthright and one of the fastest ways back to yourself. We use reflection, journaling, and imagination to help you discover your way of being here, because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Whimsical
Healing can be deep without being grim. I bring lightness, humour, and rituals to help your nervous system feel safe. I use poetry, music and relaxing rituals to begin our sessions in a relaxing manner. This makes change feel doable, and you can actually enjoy becoming more of yourself.
Judo
the way of gentleness
We don’t force transformation, we embody it. Like the confidence of a flowing river moving around rocks towards the ocean, we work with what’s real, soften resistance, and build steady momentum. What bends won’t break and what flows keeps living.

My own creative side is the catalyst to your breakthrough, seeing the creator in you allows your coaching to be a customized and very personalized experience.

I teach you that you are stronger than the resistance!
I know who I am and I can help you discover and return to exactly who you are.

“My living situation has changed significantly which is a direct outcome of the work I’ve done with Jaclyn."
After a lifetime of trauma and guilt and shame, I’ve learned to love and accept myself, and forgive myself and others. Jaclyn has a gift of helping people connect to themselves and to heal on a deep and profound level. There is nothing that can compare to Jaclyn’s coaching. My life is so very different from before I started the coaching.

“Over the course of a few months, I learned how to stand my ground with parents—redirecting and shutting down situations that once overwhelmed me."
I also gave myself permission to step back from schoolwork and truly care for myself. The constant negative self-talk is gone, and in its place is a deep sense of peace and happiness I’ve been searching for my entire life.

![Five white star-shaped balloons lined up together.]()
“I resisted journaling for years. When I finally started, it felt surface-level at first—just noting daily experiences and thoughts."
But gradually, deeper insights and unexpected realizations began to surface. Along with that, I’ve noticed a real softening in how I treat myself. There’s more gentleness and self-compassion now.”

I’m grateful that it brought my sister and I closer together."
Because of the breakthrough I had the courage to reach out to my family. We are now meeting weekly. It feels nice to have that relationship back again.

"My health and well-being has improved since I am taking time for myself and to build my relationship with my family."
I am better at saying no! This is an improvement in taking time for myself and setting boundaries for my weekends. At work I am delegating more which frees up my time, whereas before I would want complete control over every aspect of the day.

"This was a life changing decision. It gave me peace and helped me release issues that I didn’t even know that I had."
I wasn’t expecting to feel the difference as much as I did. I am thankful that I went through the process and Jaclyn is an amazing coach.

Creativity is your gift, your healer and your birthright:
-
Most of us want to live a vital and meaningful life. It can be tough to know where to start when we’re trying to keep up with our busy lives, working as hard as we can to make things work better and taking care of the ones we love.
But what if doing more isn’t the answer? What if learning ‘how to be here’ is the key to finding meaning and becoming the ultimate creator of your life?
What if your presence is what matters most? For you, first. And then for your service to the world.
The Wild Soul Retreat is where you come to remember that you are more than a producer and a performer. This is where you strengthen your ability to stop self-abandonment and start self-embracing. Your life matters.
At the second annual Wild Soul Retreat, I am inviting you to embrace what’s been missing and find out how to live your most meaningful life.
Here’s where you:
unwind, recharge, and relax
regulate your nervous system
choose honesty over approval
give your grief a voice
take aligned action
embrace and unleash your creativity
strengthen your Heart-Span, which is your capacity to withstand stress and avoid burnout while expanding
create your Soul Vision Board to cast a net over your future and see your own wild soul in art form
Here is where you belong as the co-creator of your life.
