Jacqui leads with values of trust, playfulness and depth and creates spaces where important truths can be shared, thresholds can be crossed, fresh thinking can happen, and bodies can tell their story, through 1-2-1 and group coaching, facilitation and small group events.

With 27 years of facilitation experience, 12 years as a mentor, and more than 1,700 formal coaching hours, Jacqui brings a huge breadth of expertise to her work. She’s a Certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP), a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, and holds coaching certifications from the Co-Active Institute, Martha Beck, The Somatic School and Narrative Coaching, alongside a master’s in occupational psychology.

She says the three words that define her coaching style as generous, warm and body-oriented.

Jacqui loves being part of the Firefly team for the meaningful connections, the spaces it creates, and the opportunity to work in places (geographical and psychological) that spark fresh ideas and real growth.

At this season of her life, she is learning to slow down a little, making more space for gardening, yoga, meditation and reading, and is navigating the threshold of caring for elder relatives.
