Welcome to the Emerald Soul
The Emerald Soul is a structured, intentional container where you can pause and reconnect with yourself.
This is a temple space—one that is held with love as the first and most important intention.
From that place, everything else unfolds.
Your transformation does not come from being fixed or changed, but from what naturally begins to unwind when you are met with presence, attention, and care.
What it means to be an Emerald Soul
There is a lot of symbolism here.
An emerald is a precious gem.
The Emerald Soul is a way of recognizing and honoring the preciousness and value of each soul we encounter.
Emerald is a verdant green—representing flourishing, nourished life. It is a color of vitality. Emeralds are deep, rich, and multifaceted—all qualities of the souls that come into this space. Green is also the color of the heart, representing openness and love.
An Emerald Soul is not an identity.
The goal is to loosen our grip on ego identities and outgrow our need for them—once we feel safe enough. It is more of a way of being—a willingness to see, to feel, and to transform.
That way of being comes from a profound inner commitment to do whatever it takes to awaken to truth. It is a commitment to keep showing up for the process, again and again.
It was through my dark nights that I found my own light
My story of becoming an Emerald Soul
Hi, I’m Jacquelyn.
It is my mission to guide people back to themselves—to help them reconnect with their truth, their heart, and their inner knowing.
And it’s because of my long, winding, and at times extremely challenging life that I come to offer this level of support.
I want to share my story with you in the hopes that you can see yourself in it—and realize that if I can make it to the other side of these experiences, you can, too. I would love to walk with you as you get there.
Now? My life feels expansive—full in a way I didn’t always know was possible.
I’ve softened in ways that have allowed me to know love more fully.
And the peace I now experience is no longer dependent on external circumstances.
Although life can still be difficult, the real shift has been internal:
a deeper trust in myself and in life—allowing every experience to shape, teach, and transform me.
As a result, my life feels richer, more meaningful, and more alive.
But it wasn’t always this way.
I have had more than a couple “underworld” experiences.
After many death–rebirth cycles, I’ve become deeply familiar with that process—and even comfortable with it. Kali energy. Persephone energy. Phoenix energy. A core part of my purpose is to transform what is not aligned with truth.
My dark night of the soul came in 2012, when I found myself at rock bottom.
I was raised in a loving but often dysfunctional family. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was deeply codependent.
I had learned to abandon myself in order to stay connected with those I loved most. I longed for deeper emotional nourishment and authenticity in those relationships.
I was deeply insecure but had built protective patterns that kept me from feeling much at all. I was dissociated from myself, partied a lot, and had built an identity around being “fun.” I looked to others to tell me who I needed to be to feel accepted and loved. There was such a lack of genuine connection in my life—with myself, and therefore with others.
At the peak of my self-abandonment, I was in a car crash.
I was driving home from a night out with friends. After a sharp and unexpected turn onto an unfamiliar backroad, my car was suddenly upside down, thrown through the air before crashing back down and landing on its roof. The music from just seconds earlier was still playing as we climbed out through broken windows. It was a miracle that there were no serious injuries.
Like the car, my life was turned upside down.
I was deeply humbled by facing death that night. It forced me into a new way of being—one shaped by self-reflection and a deeper sense of responsibility for the life I was creating.
That was the moment my awareness shifted.
It was an outer crisis that my higher self orchestrated because I wasn’t paying attention.
For several years after that, life continued.
I finished college, established a stable career, and traveled the world. I was living my “supposed to” life, and for a time, it was fulfilling.
Then my grandmother, a beloved mother figure, passed away.
The grief opened something in me. I began exploring spirituality and healing in a way that once felt taboo to my more conventional religious upbringing. I worked with a healer for a year-long program, and I remember longing deeply for a “roadmap to life”—something more tangible to guide me. I was told it didn’t exist.
Soon after, I met my husband.
And l was taken into another underworld experience.
The relationship wasn’t what I thought I wanted—but something in me knew it was right. It felt expansive, even when it didn’t make sense. I was forced into a choice: trust my inner knowing, or stay attached to the idea of what I thought my life should look like.
That identity crisis led me to therapy, where I began to heal my codependence without yet realizing it. Around that same time, I traveled to Egypt—a sacred pilgrimage—which launched me into a full spiritual awakening.
It was there that I began to feel the call to embody the healer within.
Healing through the Kabbalistic Tree of Life has deeply transformed how I relate to myself, others, and the divine.
The Tree of Life gave me the roadmap I had been searching for. It provided a clear model for inner growth and helped me stay oriented through initiations that would otherwise feel overwhelming and confusing.
This path has not been without loss.
I have surrendered beliefs about who I was and how the world worked. I have grieved relationships, work, and habits that no longer supported who I was becoming. And I have processed emotional burdens that had long weighed me down.
These transitions were deeply painful. But each one brought me closer to the truth of who I am.
And I would not have found my way through them without the guidance of those who had walked the path before me.
Today, I move through life with a greater sense of trust.
I feel connected to something truer within myself—something I experience as both profoundly human and inherently divine.
I am more present with myself and the people I love, even when life feels uncertain or challenging.
I no longer need to avoid discomfort in the ways I once did. I've strengthened my capacity to move through change, loss, and transformation without abandoning myself.
I feel more at home within myself than ever before.
After everything I’ve walked through, this work is no longer just personal—it’s deeply purposeful.
I know what it is to feel lost, disconnected, and unsure how to move forward. I know what it is to search for something that can guide you through real change.
And I also know what becomes possible when you find it.
I am deeply passionate about helping others reconnect with themselves in the same way—because I believe the way we heal the world begins with the way we heal ourselves.
If you are in a place where something no longer makes sense or you feel called into something deeper…
I would be honored to walk with you.

“Jackie is an exceptional Life Coach and Energy Healer whose presence immediately creates a space of trust and depth. Her words carry not only knowledge, but true wisdom rooted in strong coaching techniques and intuitive understanding.”
A unique blend of intuition, somatic processing, Reiki, phoenix wisdom, and the Kabbalistic Tree of Life
My work is a fusion of lived experience, intuitive guidance, and structured frameworks that support real transformation.
At its core, this work is about helping you reconnect with yourself and move through life’s inevitable cycles of change with more intention, empowerment, and trust.
There are five primary facets that shape how I guide this work:
-
Intuitive coaching to help you access your inner wisdom and move forward with clarity
-
Somatic processing to support real nervous system recalibration rather than intellectual understanding alone
-
Reiki to support energetic balance and sensitivity to what is happening beneath the surface
-
Phoenix wisdom rooted in death–rebirth cycles and the ability to transform through challenge
-
The Kabbalistic Tree of Life as a roadmap for psychological, soul, and spiritual development
Together, these create a path that is both deeply intuitive and highly structured—so you are not left trying to piece your transformation together on your own.

“I've had the pleasure of multiple sessions with Jackie. What I love most about going to her is that she will have spent time thinking about our last sessions and comes to the next session even more ready to help me reach my goals. There's such a sense of being truly cared for—she's not just dropping me at the door when it's over. My most recent Reiki session with her was so filled with love that it overwhelmed me with gratitude that life brought her onto my path. She's a natural when it comes to Reiki and she's an incredible listener when it comes to coaching.”
