Jackie began to intentionally work with the Healing Arts and Sound Medicine as a Nurse and Clinical Instructor in Palliative - End of Life Care. In was here that she found these practices to be instrumental for the patients and families to ease pain and suffering. Together with families, she worked to educate and build connections by developing a plan of care that supported their wishes; incorporating medical and non-medical interventions and holistic therapies to find comfort and peace during one of life's greatest transitions. She discovered the depth of musics' healing capacity while working with patients at end of life, expanding this modality of music and Sound Therapy into her private practice to foster connection and healing with others in session or group events.

Jackie teaches you how to use the wisdom of your body and release emotions to repair the nervous system and decrease anxiety. Working together to heal from trauma and past wounding to open your heart and free your mind; navigating the physical, spiritual and energetic shifts in your life that come with age, death, loss and love. Through these changes and gentle guidance, you are being  awakened into your creative and innate healing potential so that you can embody the truth of who you are. Healing at the root, from the inside out. 

 

The foundation and belief of her work is: When emotions and energy are trapped, dis-ease in the physical body is inevitable.  

​​

Yogic principles and embodiment practices are woven together with creativity, energy work, humour and sound healing: serving as a gateway to channel healing energy through the body. 

​

Over the years, Jackie has led many group coaching containers and workshops for healthcare practitioners and the general public looking to incorporate the healing arts into their lives and practice. Hosting and collaborating on Immersive Retreats and sound healing experiences are some of her favourite community events to be a part of.

​

Jackie connects people privately for 1:1 coaching mentorships or sound therapy sessions infused with energy healing and meditation; gently guiding you into expanded consciousness, relaxation and an improved state of well-being. In deep gratitude and honour, end of life sessions are free of charge. Vibrational Sound Therapy is used alongside other forms of energy work to bring balance and healing. At our very core, we are SOUND, ENERGY & VIBRATION. Viewing this human experience in a layered and multidimensional perspective, coaching is offered to clients to help integrate the shifts that are taking place in the mind, body, and Spirit.

Jackie discovered these healing tools while searching for answers to heal from her own chronic health disorders and dis-ease with the intention to help herself and others find a greater depth of healing, empowerment and connection.
