About This coach
I’m Jacqueline, a mom of three boys, and my coaching journey began with a phone call I’ll never forget. My 3-year-old’s daycare called to say he's explosive and had been hitting other children, and that if it continued, he would be asked to leave.
As a lawyer, I did what I knew best: I set out to solve the problem and 'fix' my son. But my son didn’t need fixing. I needed to understand him, and to understand myself, my triggers, and the patterns I’d carried from my own childhood. The Jai Institute’s Transformational Parenting Process became the turning point for our family, and the beginning of a journey of self-discovery as a mother, a wife, and a woman. I love being a coach because I get to walk beside parents through that same journey. I believe that every child deserves to feel safe, seen and understood, and that every parent deserves that too. I believe change begins with us, that repair matters more than perfection, and that it’s never too late to begin. When I’m not coaching, you’ll probably hear me singing. My boys love to tell me, “No offence, Mummy, but your singing sucks,” and I happily keep going, because I love it and it helps calm my body.
You might also catch me 'twerking' to reggae and soca music whilst cooking in the kitchen, heading to the gym, enjoying the outdoors with my boys, or curled up with an episode of Love Is Blind or my favorite reality shows.
What Makes THEM Special?
After more than 21 years as a family lawyer, I’ve seen how childhood wounds follow us into adulthood. Behind most family conflicts in court, the real issue was rarely money or tangible things. It was adults who, as children, never felt truly seen or heard. I bring that rare perspective to every session, helping parents connect today’s hard moments to the adults their children are becoming. I especially love working with professional, high-achieving moms who succeed at work but find home the hardest place to be the parent they want to be, and with parents of strong-willed, big-feeling or differently wired children.
Alongside my Jai certification, I’m a certified Emotions, Mind and Energy (EME) Integration Practitioner with Authentic Living, and a certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator with the Positive Discipline Association. I weave these skills into my coaching, so parents receive both practical, respectful tools for everyday life and support for deeper emotional healing. With roots in England, Trinidad and Tobago, and Canada, I coach families around the world with warmth, deep listening, and zero judgment.
