Why ThetaHealing?

Jacqueline was working as a professional animal communicator and energy healer when she first learned about ThetaHealing. Traditionally, animal communication sessions include a good deal of counseling, negotiation, and medical intuition. As is the case with counseling, multiple sessions might be necessary in order to unravel a lifetime of adjustment issues. However, animal communication clients typically call when they are at the end of their rope and want immediate results. This means the animal communicator may have only one session to change a behavior that is putting the animal at risk of being euthanized or surrendered to a shelter. Jacqueline began applying ThetaHealing techniques in these now or never cases. The remarkable successes demonstrated to her that this modality accelerates the healing and change process.

There are many wonderful healing modalities that work for people and animals alike. Reiki, for one, is wonderful for relieving pain. Often the benefit is only temporary. Clients may feel good for a few days, only to have the emotional, spiritual, or body ache return. When Jacqueline experienced how ThetaHealing heals at multiple levels – physical, ancestral, spiritual, and this life, past life, and collective consciousness – she knew she had found the energy healing modality suited to bringing lasting change.

Because animal communication issues often involve working with entire family systems, it was not long before Jacqueline shifted her practice to include employing ThetaHealing to work with people. Jacqueline's spiritual counseling practice and teaching have taken her to points near and far. She now works primarily with people yet also delights in working with animals, especially as a means of addressing issues in the family system.

Work History

She has been teaching and designing information to fit how people learn since 1985. Before becoming a spiritual counselor, Jacqueline enjoyed careers in academia and the software industry. For eight years she taught university English and research writing. For another seven she worked in the software industry on publishing and Internet technologies.

While in software, she focused on making the user experience flow. She worked on various aspects of the software user experience, doing everything from documenting software as a programmer writer, to designing the user interface as a technical program manager, and then running Creative Services, Documentation, and Usability departments as a director. From this focus on the how people assimilate information, Jacqueline has developed teaching strategies that work for a wide range of individuals.

Jacqueline left the software industry in 2000 to work as an animal communicator and energy healer. She underwent extensive training with clinical psychologist and animal communicator Jeri Ryan, PhD, and completed Carol Gurney's rigorous HeartTalk Program®. Both teachers emphasize developing crystal clear telepathy, counseling skills, balanced self-care, and professional ethics. This training continues to serve Jacqueline in her work with people and animals. Please visit her animal communication website for more information about animal consultations and workshops.

Over the years, Jacqueline has broadened her focus to working with people on the soulful questions we all face. In her spiritual counseling practice, Jacqueline specializes in ThetaHealing. She calls on another healing modality, Matrix Energetics®, as appropriate. Like ThetaHealing, Matrix Energetics is a modality of our times. It heals on all levels, swiftly, joyfully, miraculously.
