No BS Guide to Gratitude

Your Teacher

JACQUI LEWIS

I work at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern psychology, in the space where old truths and new science meet. For fourteen years, I've been curious about one thing: what actually changes a person. That curiosity has taken me around the world, teaching people from every walk of life, from CEOs through to stay at home parents, teenagers, the elderly, the grieving, those dying, the creatives, the geniuses, the confused, the weary and the inspired. And again and again, I've found the same truths waiting in every room.

My training spans multiple worlds. I'm a qualified therapist, also trained in Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing, and I understand how the nervous system holds what the mind can't always name. I'm a meditation teacher, grounded in the nondual traditions of the East, I know fully and have been witness to what happens when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start seeing clearly instead. And I've spent over a decade coaching leaders through the real pressures of running teams, companies and lives, which means I understand that insight alone doesn't change behaviour. Integration does.

This combination isn't a gimmick, it's just where the real work happens. Most leadership coaching stays at the level of strategy and performance. Most therapy stays in the room. I like to bring both into one space, because none of us leave our nervous system at the door, and the patterns that shape our biggest decisions are often the same ones shaped in childhood. The power of seeing what we truly are beyond intellectual understanding also cannot be underestimated and we weave this in, less identity and more soul.

I've had the joy of teaching this work in person across Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, France, England and America, and have hosted over thirty residential retreats along the way. I've written four books exploring this territory, and shared it on the TEDx stage. But it's not the credentials that matter most to me. It's thirty years of solid practice myself and fourteen years of doing this work with real people, under real pressure, in the death spaces, in the gritty life moments, in the nervous breakdowns, in the burnout, and the creativity, clarity and expansion and heart spaces, that is what I bring. You will bring your whole self, and together, we create.
