Hi, I’m jacqueline ben.
Welcome. I’d like to introduce myself to you.
I’m a holistic health coach and this is my journey.
I always knew I wanted to help others, and I followed down a traditional path. I obtained an advanced clinical degree from a prestigious university and for over 13 years I worked in Western healthcare. During this time I have served in both the hospital and clinic setting and have seen it all, the worst being the COVID years. The one underlying theme that stood out to me and frustrated me - is that our modern healthcare system is broken. Many treatments are band-aids that do not address the underlying cause of our distress -whether it’s regarding our physical, mental/emotional, or spiritual health.
Out of my frustration and growing dissatisfaction with our current model of health, I sought healing modalities that address healing at the root cause. In my search, I came across holistic/integrative health modalities, the Human Design system, and - believe it or not - astrology. While these modalities may sound unrelated and “woo woo”, the underlying theme to them all is the concept of energy healing. Even in Western medicine, the basic function of the cell is reduced to energetic reactions. At our core we are energetic beings and when we are not aligned with our energy, we experience blocks and ultimately disease.
At heart, I’m an avid reader, life-long learner, and someone who embraces a growth mindset. I have completed training programs in these mentioned areas, which I bring to you in our sessions.
In a nutshell,
I earned my health coaching certificate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). I studied the ins and outs of holistic health, including foundational nutrition principles, whole-person health, as well as innovative coaching methods, personal development, goal-setting and much more.
At Pacifica Graduate Institute, I completed an Advanced Training Certificate in Applied Archetypal Astrology. Applied astrology is the practice of using astrological insights in a practical and personalized way to support personal growth, well-being, and life alignment. Unlike traditional astrology, which often focuses on predictions and lacks empowerment, applied astrology helps us understand our unique energetic patterns, strengths, and challenges based on our chart. With this greater awareness of ourselves, we can illicit the change we seek.
Finally, I earned my Human Design Certificate with Erin Claire Jones. Human Design blends ancient spiritual systems with modern science to reveal a person’s unique energetic profile. It provides practical tools for living in alignment with our highest potential. Rather than changing who we are, it helps us understand ourselves more deeply. With this greater knowledge of our true selves, we are able to let go of what is not ours, align ourselves to our energetic nature, and achieve our goals with ease instead of force and resistance.
I have applied all of these modalities to my own life and have experienced profound transformation. It would be my honor to share all the wisdom I have gathered, in combination with my knowledge and experience in Western healthcare, to guide you in your own journey to accomplishing what your heart desires most.
