Dr. Jacalyn of Dr. Jacalyn, LLC is a life coach whose expertise is dealing with busy professionals and executives who are challenged with stress, weight loss, anxiety, illnesses and the list goes on. As someone who suffered from Ulcerative Colitis, what people don’t know is behind all the positive attitude and smiles, what she went through in the past was no joke. She knows that there are other people who are suffering from the same issues so that pushed her to get to wherever she is today. She feels that she has helped people come out from the darkness and not be afraid to achieve their dreams just because they are hindered by health issues.

What people should also understand is the difference between therapy and life coaching. Therapy focuses on people’s past and emotions. And normally the reason why it is difficult for them to move forward is because they’re still stuck from their past lives. While life coaching is dealing with the present day issue, that you want to have tactical steps to resolve and come up with an action plan.

Growing up was tough for Dr. Jacalyn. Though her parents were amazing, she was taught how to be independent because she was told by her father that no one else is going to be there for her except herself, and that’s basically what she has been doing. She has been taking care of herself, she’s working hardcore and keeping herself busy for the past years while also creating a positive change in the society.
