The Aligned Path
Career Counselling for Meaningful, Sustainable Work
Pursue a work-life that feels like an authentic expression of who you are.
Why You’re Here
The work that once fit you is changing.
You have new passions, new boundaries, or a burnt-out system that is saying “no more” on your behalf.
This compromise won’t last much longer.
You fantasize about work that lights you up - that energizes not just your job, but your whole life.
You sense there’s another way, and you want to find the direction, confidence, and structure to move toward it.
You’re ready to walk your Aligned Path.
The Aligned Path is for you if…

What You’ll Experienece
Find your path through The Aligned Path. You’ll release, reflect, and take aligned action.
Stage 1:
Dreams and Stories — Setting the Foundation
We begin by slowing down and listening deeply. You’ll get clear on where you are now, what’s working, and what’s calling for change. Then we’ll shed the “shoulds” - the old narratives and expectations that have kept you from your true path.
The Result: You’ll walk away with a clear sense of direction, grounded self-awareness, and the first sparks of possibility.
Stage 2:
Embodiment & Intuition — Mapping What’s True
Your body becomes the guide. We’ll map your nervous system patterns, energy rhythms, and core values - enhancing what helps you thrive. You’ll reconnect with intuition as a daily compass and begin to imagine what an aligned, sustainable work-life could truly look like.
The Result: You’ll gain clarity on your values, energy, and the conditions that support your best self.
Stage 3:
Authentic Action & Integration — Walking the Path
Now, we bring it all to life. Together, we’ll design small, soulful experiments that bridge dream and reality, all while staying true to newly established boundaries. We’ll anchor your insights and create a plan on how to sustain your growth long after our time together ends.
The Result: You’ll leave with a clear path, renewed confidence, and the tools to stay aligned in your day-to-day work-life.
Meet Your Career Counsellor
Hi, I’m Jacqui Manley (she/her)
I’m a career and life path counsellor (RTC) supporting those who’ve gotten off track. I’m all about helping you remember what makes you tick and building a work-life that sustains you (physically, emotionally and financially) - especially if the linear path doesn’t work for you (for whatever reason!)
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.
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!

I am more gracious in viewing my dreams as legitimate achievable pursuits. I feel so much more on track now and have a far clearer vision of what my future can and will look like.”

This work often involves going backwards to go forwards. This means slowing down, listening to the body, and exploring what’s happened in the past to inform where we’re going.
Both looking backwards and forwards can be done through visualizations, reflection questions, and exercises that help you align with your next steps.
I provide book recommendations, tools, and offer network connections when appropriate; however, I also empower you to open yourself up to discovering these as synchronistic breadcrumbs along your way.
