Hi, I’m Jak.
Have you ever felt like something was missing, even when everything looked “fine” on the outside?
Yeah, I’ve been there. That quiet discomfort… that sense that something was off, it became the spark that led me inward.
Through deep reflection and honest self-inquiry, I uncovered my core values, the guiding principles that brought clarity, direction, and a sense of purpose. Those values became the heartbeat of Go Lightly Life Coaching.
My coaching blends real connection, intuitive insight, and practical tools for lasting change. Values like authenticity, empathy, inspired energy, and inclusivity guide every session and help my clients come home to what matters most.
I bring over nine years of experience in coaching, mentoring, and personal development, along with a background in counseling, teaching, spiritual leadership, and public speaking. I'm a Certified Coach through the ICF-accredited Born to Coach Training Academy and am currently working toward my PCC credential.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll usually find me outside. I enjoy fly fishing on the Deschutes River, hiking through the trees, traveling, listening to live music, or spending time with my partner and our five wild and wonderful kids. When I’m not outside, I’m spending my time mixing and growing herbs, or cozied up with a good book. Nature, growth, and intentional living are the rhythms I return to again and again.
If you’re ready to reconnect with your truth and create a life that feels aligned, I’d be honored to walk that path with 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.
