Hi!  My name is Jackie and I am a community builder, teacher, somatic guide, writer and therapist.  I am also a mother and am ever evolving through long term monogamy.  Having supported a diverse set of people, circumstances and experiences for the past two decades; I have found that with the right support, people discover healing alongside of the ability to LIVE in a way that is fulfilling, intimate and part of a deeper process than ever before.  I practice 1:1 therapy through Jaclyn Paulson Counseling, but through also offering a "coaching" alternative where I am able to offer a more in depth, versatile and relational process that includes bodywork, ritual and a deeper humanistic approach that really brings people to the wild edges of their own aliveness.  Your strengths, your deep soul beauty and unique creative expression is the primary lens through which we create together. Through this process, you will have access to community and connection in a way that traditional western therapy doesn't always make the space for, including working with people in other states and virtually.  I offer both individual coaching services tailored to meet your needs as well as relationship/intimacy coaching for couples who want to help learn and be led into a richer way of relating to one another - to experience a more liberated and fulfilling kind of love.

I consider myself an interpreter and a guide on the path to awakening. I support women, non-binary folks and couples of all types journey through life in a way that is sacred and filled with intimacy. I consider myself someone who is akeen to working wtihin multiple realms and can widen the lens of perception to that all can belong. Here we are able to make peace with aspects of ourselves that have been troublesome and help people move through stuck places and stuck seasons in their life. Although I have been offering therapy for a long time - there are aspects of my work that haven't fallen into that category since I first connect to women's spirituality and embodiment in 2008, the kind of work that is dives deeper in the realm of the body, the earth and helping people become fully alive around pleasure, movement, sexuality, creativity, vitality and expression.  Where I bring more direct wisdom and practices into the process - including my own aliveness and embodiment. 

This work tends to be more directive albeit invitational, deeply relational and wildly ritualistic in nature that does not fall into the parameters of therapy.  It is more visionary rather than symptom focused and see people as lives worth living, not problems needing to be fixed.  There is less diagnosing and analyzing and more feeling and embodiment.  Although both is very trauma informed, therapy offers more specific trauma healing in the way of the mind and the coaching process gives people places to bring their pain without having to fix anything, emerging a wildly transformative possibility of being in relationship with all aspects of our humanity that is healing in and of itself.  Therapy is understood and makes a lot of sense most of the time.  Coaching (in the way I offer it) expects miracles and leans in on the mystery and that which could never be understood.
