I’m Jacqui Manley (she/her)

Hi, I’m Jacqui

I’m a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), multi-dimensional entrepreneur, and changemaker living in Nelson, BC.

I believe that our unique dreams combined with a pinch of courage can transform not only our lives, but the communities we live, work, and play in.

As a neurodivergent entrepreneur, I have an exceptionally keen eye for burnout patterns, clashing value systems, and how to balance focused problem-solving with rest. I’ve studied what makes a career meaningful both inside and out, through professional training and walking it myself.

I stand for queer, women’s, and gender non-conforming rights. I celebrate neurodiversity, Highly Sensitive People, artists, weirdos, and non-linear thinkers. I know firsthand what it’s like to not see yourself thriving in a linear career structure, and can provide specialized support if you share any of these identities.

My dreams have taken me to work for international online marketing companies, creating online courses with global experts on topics like psychedelic education, tarot card reading, and all things career.

Along the way, I deepened my practice into the healing arts, combining my love of online course creation with some truly transformational counselling skills. This will all been integrated into the work we do together. 

My clients consider me to be approachable and effective. Through deepening your understanding of your desires, your body’s wisdom, and the unconscious fears that may be holding you back, we can navigate the murky waters to your clear next steps. 

Uncovering your unique combination of skills, life experience, and sense of self truly lights me up. We’ll take this Rubik's cube and turn it into something that is just so you.

So let’s uncover your Aligned Path!
