She is an ICF-trained personal and business coach, through Barefoot Coaching. She has completed a certificate in Lifestyle and Wellness Coaching through Harvard Medical School Executive Education, and partners with Arbonne®, a vegan skincare and nutrition brand, to bring clean and sustainable products to her clients.

Born in South Africa in 1980, Jackie grew up in a beautiful town near the foot of a mountain, and a short drive to the coast. She always felt a strong connection with nature, and it is this connection that anchors her and provides the setting for her health and wellness business.
Moving to the UK in 2002 with her family, Jackie spent most of her 20’s and 30’s in London, England. In her corporate career, she has worked in the retail sector, a healthcare consultancy, a not-for-profit marketing organisation, the food and beverage industry, in a car sales showroom, in the shop of an art museum, for a Canadian investment bank, for the British Cabinet Office, within a climate change organisation and for a Saudi-backed investment management start-up. Throughout her journey, Jackie has partnered with senior executives and business leaders to support business strategy and develop operational governance. She has also managed and developed teams of administrative support staff.
