Welcome to Inner Source……
Where life is precious, unavoidably hard and you only get one shot. Find your power in stillness, seek love, laughter and most importantly, always be yourself.
Hello, kind souls 🙏. In Inner Source it’s sometimes raw, often vulnerable, intense and I strive to be honest in my reflections. Knowing only too well where the darkness leads, I look for the chink of light in life’s experiences, getting it wrong at least as often as right.
Meditation teaches us to live from our inner circle and it’s my work to be less reactive in this adrenaline fuelled body of mine.
If we allow, rather than fight against - even sometimes surrender to - what we are feeling, we might take the life we’ve lived forward and grow more in the now.
Sounds heavy?
Well it can be but not all the time. I’m learning to love and laugh more because otherwise what is the point?
So I invite you to pause, take a breath and make some space for stillness; to feel your entire body and all the powerful things it has to say, then go out there and live it all, kind souls.

Why upgrade to paid?
As my mentor and meditation teacher likes to say
“You can meditate, you just haven’t been taught properly”
Paid subscribers get access to more in-depth teaching on this distinct therapeutic approach to meditation and mentoring through my live sessions as well as more time with me to explore what this all means for them.
Being part of a community enables us to connect, share our challenges and experiences and brings greater accountability to follow through on our best intentions, make time and stick with good habits.
This community explores the gift that therapeutic meditation, mentoring and personal reflection can be in our lives and how it alters our daily life beyond the stillness of practice.
About Me
I am a writer, mentor, meditation & yoga teacher with two (almost grown-up) children, a loving husband and my adorable labradoodle, Jess. I love to walk, read, weight train, swim and practice meditation and yoga.
However this is also me ….
A perpetual busy person, energetically resilient but often exhausted trying to keep up with my own enthusiasm and passions. Constantly optimistic about what can fit into a day, cutting it fine right to the very last minute and thinking too much about too many things.
Writing, mentoring and teaching sees me at reinvention number three after a lobular breast cancer diagnosis brought career number two to a resounding halt. I often say wherever we go, we take ourselves with us and this gave me an opportunity to reassess EVERYTHING.
All the values I claimed I wanted to live by were in fact in shreds on the cutting room floor, cast aside as the scissors cut out a pattern for my life based on continually striving for success.
The last five years of my life feel like a deluge of significant events. Breast cancer, selling my business, a child coming out as transgender, the death of my estranged father, my eldest child leaving home, my youngest one about to leave, learning how to be a couple again – it is a lot.
My commitment is for life and for living, for being ourselves with all our faults and flaws and for accepting other people as they are.
The search for compassion of self and others is never more true than in my work as an ally and activist for transgender rights.
I never expected to be a writer, meditator and activist in the second half century of my life, but here we are. I intend to make the most of it and I want to use all I’ve learnt and am currently experiencing to serve others.
Join me for the joy of living, being curious, compassionate and finding contentment in this thing called life 🙏🏻
with gratitude
Jacqui xx
