My Books

and the stories behind them...

Words were my first way of making sense of the world.

Long before I discovered Human Design, I wrote my way through life. Loss, rediscovery, and the quiet rebuilding of a life that eventually felt like mine.

These books were born from that time. Each one an honest, heart-led expression of who I was becoming.

I share them here because they’re part of the path that led me to the work I do today.

If you’ve ever felt like you were unravelling... or re-emerging - or trying to make peace with the past... You might find something here that speaks to you.

Onward and Upward

A captivating memoir of one woman’s journey through motherhood, marriage, and mayhem - all the way to her real-life happy ever after.

Follow Jacqueline on the ride of her life, through hell and back, again and again - as she makes bold decisions, overcomes adversity, and strives for an extraordinary life beyond the ‘ordinary.’

When she meets her soulmate, she finds her bliss, begins to understand her deeper purpose, and takes a big, brave leap into happiness.

Her trials and triumphs are woven with the tender, the messy, the hilarious and heartbreaking. A powerful, refreshing read that will stir your heart, make you laugh, and move you to tears.

And when you learn about her happy ending, you just might want to punch the air with delight.

From the hearts of readers...

“I was given this book by a good friend. I read this book in no time at all, as quite frankly I couldn't stop reading it. This is such a rollercoaster of a real life story of Jacqueline, who never gave up even when facing the most traumatic of times. I found myself at so many times thinking what else can happen to this family. This is a book that has you looking into a mirror at times and the advice she gives is very helpful. What a truly inspirational lady she is.”

“From the very first page you are let into the world of Jacqueline as you begin to follow her real-life journey and the adversity she has overcome. I laughed out loud and I cried, whilst willing her to come through the darkness and into the light. Deep emotions and vulnerability are shared throughout this easy to read book, which gave me powerful insights into my own life. Highly recommended, but block a few hours out of your diary first as you won't want to stop reading!”

“If there’s one thing I enjoy, buying a book that you know is genuine and comes from the Heart. Reading through the chapters it’s as if I was with Jacqueline all of the way. Make sure you have tissues by your side for the sad tears and happy tears. I will definitely read this again and again.”

“I've just finished reading this book and I really enjoyed it. 

I appreciate the honesty of the writing, especially sharing such personal stories and information with the reader. 

The tips included in the book are very helpful and I like the layout of the book, as it allows for dipping in and out of the various chapters. 

This makes it feel so much more digestible and it is easy to find the relevant information when needed.”

My journey with words didn’t end with these books.

I’ve been self-published in my own right through the titles above, but I’ve also been honoured to contribute to a number of collaborative projects – each one rooted in inspiration, growth, and choosing to move forward, no matter the circumstances.

It all began in 2018, after reading Light Is The New Black by Rebecca Campbell – a spark that led me to write, share, and eventually coach from a place of lived experience.

Each of these publications is a reminder that the right words at the right time can light a new path.
