I'm Jacqui and I want to share with you a little bit of the beauty of where we live in New York State, so you'll know that it's not just a big city.  I put the picture on the banner of my website (above).  It's Canandaigua Lake, near where we live.  It's a beautiful view!  
 
Since I cannot introduce myself in person, where I could actually shake your hand or give you a hug, I need to let you know who I am.   I am someone who's had some very normal, but challenging times, with weight and depression being significant hurdles.   I'll show you some pictures later...  I can help you with many aspects of life as your life coach.  

 Ed and Jacqui's 30th anniversary picture:

I have a BA in Education and History, with a minor in Psychology from SUNY Potsdam, in upstate New York.   I taught school for a year immediately after graduating from college, then decided to devote my skills to marriage and family. 

I have been a Navy wife with my husband as an officer on submarines, living a "single mom" lifestyle with two small children.  After leaving the service, we were enrolled in a family biblical research leadership training program for two years, and received tremendously motivational and positive training with the goal of helping others and received a BA degree in Biblical Studies for our efforts.  From that, we gained the understanding that we could not help what we had or had not done in the past, but we could have an effect on our own and others' futures. 

We have also gone through changing economic times including being self-employed, having a corporate job, then to also experience a downsizing (while two of our children were in college), then back to being self-employed again. We also bought and maintain income properties.  My husband and I are (Meyers-Briggs) polar opposites, have been married over 32 years, and are raising four wonderful children together: two out on their own, and two in college.
Being a Navy wife, then stay-at-home mom (the job I am most proud of), the back office for my husband's LEAN consulting business and both of us working together on our income properties have given my life a strength and resourcefulness that I will be drawing on to help you.   I received training and certification from the International Coach Academy to help me be the best coach possible.  I am so excited to be your professional friend and coach in whatever life challenges you may be facing.


This is my family.  It was taken at my daughter's wedding, in August of '07, when everybody looked their best!  (We can be silly sometimes).

There is a very special moment in my life that I would like to share with you.  My son and husband conspired together with the Bridal salon to  carry out this surprise.  I would never have dreamed that this could happen before I lost the weight.  It was such a validation for me for what I'd accomplished.  You will have special validating moments too when you achieve your vision.  Click on the picture below to see the video.
