About Elevate
Together, we turn your wellness goals into reality.
Your career brings you joy, fulfilment, and meaning.
You love being challenged and growing personally and professionally.
But do you ever find that you invest so much energy into your work that other important parts of your life start falling behind?
It’s easy to think we have to sacrifice health, family and leisure time for success. I know, I’ve been there too...
so caught up in the next goal that I nearly forgot what matters most:
The quality of each moment we experience along the way to our goals.
Hi I’m Jacqui.
Just a few years ago, I was struggling with burnout after 23 years in the corporate world.
Working in the fast-paced world of mega-events such as the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, and World Cup events, I was addicted to the buzz that comes with organising complex projects.
The more I learned, the more I wanted to learn. I associated my career progression with “success.”
I’d get up in the morning with a long to-do list in my head and wouldn’t stop until my body and mind were too exhausted to keep going.
My go-go mentality was that if I only worked harder, I could achieve better results and then have the time to enjoy my life.
In the meantime life was passing me by and I was no longer performing at the top of my game - at work or in my personal life.
Insomnia, weight loss, constant fatigue, irritability, and a hacking cough - just some of the signs my body used to tell me to slow down. That’s when I invested time into learning all things related to mental wellness. I started practising mindfulness and was amazed at how quickly I felt its benefits first-hand.
My stress and burnout were replaced with passion, balance, and more ease. I knew the lessons I learned could help others too…
Now my mission is to empower other busy humans with coaching and practical tools to manage stress and enhance well-being.
You don’t have to get to the point of burnout like I did before discovering that there is another way to live your life. If you’re ready to perform at your best, I’d be happy to support you on your journey.
“After spending months in what I thought was a "professional limbo", I decided to reach out to Jacqui. In just the first call, Jacqui took time to really dig deep and understand where my confusion and imbalance was coming from. She's warm, positive and kind, and asked just the right questions to help me find the right direction! Sometimes we all need someone to coach us, guide us and clear up the brain-fog that develops over time - Jacqui did that for me by giving me the tools to discover it all for myself.
Our conversation, along with some helpful exercises and templates for me to follow, helped not only with the professional limbo, but also in general with myself, my own vision for my life, and addressing the several factors that play a role in achieving the balance that's right for me.
I'm grateful to be able to reach out to her, would highly recommend for anyone in similar situations to do the same, and I know now if I ever find myself in that same situation that I can always approach her again. Thank you so much, Jacqui, for your kindess, patience and guidance through a very tough time”.
