Charities I Support
Gennarosity
Abroad
Genevieve Onuchukwu—better known as Genna—was once my student and later became a valued colleague at the school where I taught. After finishing high school, she took a volunteer placement in Kenya, and as they say, the rest is history. In 2010, Genna founded Gennarosity Abroad, a charity dedicated to creating sustainable employment and education opportunities in Kenya. Through this initiative, local people have gained jobs—whether in building facilities, teaching, or managing at Grandma Jenny’s Training Centre.
Making a Lasting Impact
Since 2019, Gennarosity Abroad has:
Begun classes at Grandma Jenny's Training Centre to empower men in the Karunga community
Continued collaborations with New Hope Children's Centre, launching an abandoned babies intake program
Partnered with Rhonda Maternity Clinic to help reduce mother and infant mortality rates
Every Donation Makes a Difference
100% of donations go directly toward funding and managing Gennarosity Abroad’s projects—ensuring that real, lasting change reaches those who need it most.

1 Million Women & The Tara Hunt Fellowship
My beautiful and inspiring friend, Natalie Isaacs, is the founder of 1 Million Women, a global movement empowering women to take action on climate change through everyday choices.I was privileged to be there when Natalie first shared her vision with a small group of us over a decade ago. Since then, I’ve watched in awe as she turned that dream into a powerful force for change. I am proud to support Natalie and the incredible work she is doing for our planet.
Giving Back Through The Tara Hunt Fellowship
A percentage of sales from my work will go toward supporting The Tara Hunt Fellowship, which provides young people with:
Specialised communications training to expand their skills in climate advocacy
Knowledge and tools to communicate climate challenges effectively
The ability to encourage solutions and empower others to take action
Together, we can help amplify voices for change and create a more sustainable future.
The Australian Kidney Foundation
Kidney disease is a cause close to my heart. My father was a recipient of a kidney transplant, but despite this life-saving procedure, he ultimately lost his battle with the disease. The Australian Kidney Foundation provides vital resources and services for people at risk of, or affected by, kidney disease and related conditions.
Their work includes:
Raising awareness in communities across Australia about kidney health
Supporting individuals and families living with kidney disease
Helping primary care professionals detect kidney disease earlier
Their dedication to education, early detection, and support makes a real difference in the lives of those affected by kidney disease.
Cancer Council
Australia
Cancer has deeply impacted my family. My mother battled skin cancer, which eventually spread throughout her body, and I know first-hand how devastating this disease can be.
That’s why I support Cancer Council Australia, a community-based organisation dedicated to:
Funding life-saving cancer research to improve prevention and treatment
Providing support and resources for people affected by cancer
Promoting evidence-based policies to reduce cancer risks in Australia
Cancer Council Australia receives no ongoing government funding, relying entirely on community support to continue its vital work.

Testimonials
Hear from Jackie's current and former clients.
I am a teacher and have been in the profession for over 25 years. I have held various rolesover this time, including several in middle management. Since coming out of the pandemic in 2021, I had been feeling very negative and unmotivated about my work and myself. This ledto frequent moments of anxiety and some bouts of depression.
I had trouble focusing and sleeping. I was often irritable, would find myself procrastinating and had trouble tacklingtasks with my usual efficacy. I suspected that I was suffering from burnout and could not muster the resilience to move beyond this dark period.
After having come to this realisation, I decided to seek support. I found working on myself with Jackie to be profoundly rewarding. Thanks to Jackie’s coaching style and targeted methods of support, I have begun to regain my confidence and re-develop my self-respect. I have learn a lot about myself and, most significantly,
I rediscovered my core values and unequivocally rely on them to guide my everyday actions and decisions.
I continue to use the tools and strategies that I have learn from Jackie and I am well on the way to
re-establishing my former self-worth.
- Monique R,
High School Teacher
I have seen a huge improvement with myself and the girls. I think the biggest light bulb moment I've had is it’s actually me creating the stress for myself and the girls. I've noticed I've been a lot more patient and I'm now resolving not reacting - something so simple but it's such a game changer.
Feeling like I'm back to my normal, happy patient mummy, My daughter absolutely loves doing this with me and we are now sitting down to do this together daily. It works wonders on us both. I have had such an incredible shift and not just with her but in all areas of life of feeling myself again and stress free and when
I do feel like I'm starting to get a little bit worked up, I've been going back to the technique.
- Sophie C,
Mother of a Two Children Under 5
I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to Jackie for sharing the benefits of heart coherence during the recent
6-week online course. It was truly an enlightening experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have met so many incredible individuals with inspiring stories and valuable insights.
The techniques and practices we learned have had a profound impact on both my health and my relationships. Her guidance and support throughout the course were instrumental in helping me understand and apply these principles effectively.
I strongly encourage anyone who is looking for more out of life to reach out to Jackie and join her for one of her courses. It will be one of the best decisions you can make. Thank you once again Jackie for your dedication and for making such a positive difference in my life.
- Jacqui G,
Mother
I want to express my gratitude for extending your hand with your gesture and intention to take my spent soul and lead me to the heart congruent pathway to turn my health around. I was in a stuck place and was lacking energy, extremely tired, low in confidence, morbidly obese and in a generally unhealthy state. This has happened over a period of a few years, maybe 5 to 7 years. I am grateful you took me by the hand as I had certainly all but given up hope of ever regaining my health and vitality.
While I could barely muster the energy to focus,in a surprisingly good few sessions I was able to focus long enough to have a real impact on other aspects of my life too.
I have jumped on board with a lifestyle program that is making a difference. Your sessions have given me tools that I now utilise to increase my brain capacity, clarity of mind and have contributed to the turn a round of my health and vitality. I'm not 'there' yet but I'm well on my way.
- Joan M.
Property Manager
Working with Jackie opened my awareness to an entirely new dimension of intelligence—the intelligence of the heart. I learned how to tap into my heart’s wisdom to handle reactive situations with greater space, empathy, and connection. By consciously ‘switching on’ my heart, I’ve been able to shift my perspective, improve my relationships, and take greater ownership of my inner strength. One of the most valuable practices I’ve implemented is checking in with my emotional state each morning.
This simple habit has helped me approach each day with curiosity and intention, often starting with heart-focused breathing before even getting out of bed. While I’m still working on applying these techniques in challenging family interactions, I now recognise the obstacles and am actively observing them—something
I never did before. Another key take away from my sessions was the power of language. I’ve gained a deeper understanding of how heart-based communication allows me to express myself in a way that aligns with my values, even in difficult moments. This work has been truly transformative, and I’m grateful for the tools and awareness it has given me.
