 “I have found Jackie to be inspirational. She is one of the most caring and selfless people I have ever met. She inspires as well as encourages you to be your better self. She proves herself to be a good listener in her volunteering and business life, encouraging whilst remaining non-judgmental. Offering advice which allows you to heal holistically, allowing you to put a positive action plan in place. As at any juncture in your life be it at work or at home she can help you, and should you fall off your chosen pathway she is there too with her vivacious and friendly personality to put you back on the correct route. Jackie is one of these people who walks in and lights up a room, bringing a smile to anyone’s face and changing the whole atmosphere in a positive way. Who would expect this small grey-haired, unassuming lady to be such a fireball. If you find yourself needing help to move forward, to encourage you, coach you and just be there for you this is your lady. Let Jackie help you to become your better, more positive self by putting the tools in place to help you get there.”
