Hi, I’m Jak.

Have you ever felt like something was missing, even when everything seemed 'fine' on the surface? I know that feeling well. My own journey of self-discovery taught me that uncovering what truly matters starts with identifying your core values. Through deep introspection, I not only found my guiding principles but also built my coaching practice around them.

At Go Lightly Life Coaching, these values form the heart of everything I do: Authenticity, Fun, Empathy, Spirituality, and Inclusivity, to name a few. Combined with the transformative power of genuine connection, effective communication, and intuitive self-awareness, I help my clients gain the clarity and confidence to create a life they love.

I have over 8 years of combined experience in coaching and mentoring, supported by formal and informal training in counseling, teaching, spiritual leadership, and public speaking.  I’m also currently pursuing my PCC Level IFC Accreditation through the Born to Coach Training Academy to continue refining my skills. 

In my free time, you’ll often find me outdoors or practicing herbalism, which keeps me grounded and inspired. I also enjoy traveling, attending live music events, and adventuring with my partner and five kids. My essence is rooted in cultivating friendships, creating community, and embracing spiritual connection.

Curious about your own core values? Let’s uncover them together on your life coaching journey. I’d love to work with you to create a vibrant, fulfilling life aligned with what matters most to you.

My Approach

I adhere to the International Coaching Federation’s definition of Coaching. It is as follows, “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

Together we will tap into your inner strength and wisdom needed to navigate your current challenges. I believe that you are the expert of your life and hold your own answers within. However, it’s often difficult to find these answers on our own. By using a mixture of powerful intuitive questions, a supportive attitude, and a trusting environment I will help guide you through the process of growth and personal development.
