Welcome
Offerings of Support & Peace in the Midst
We are being called to step into the unknown like never before!
We are professional coaches, friends and co-creators of Alive & Inspired. It is our pleasure to share our work with you!
Alive & Inspired was born in 2015 when we came together to sit with this inquiry, “How can we be with all that arises in life?” We know that we are pure Essence, Aliveness. How do we cultivate this Aliveness so that, like a deeply rooted tree, we are able to take up space and expand into the fullness and joy of life as well as withstand the mightiest storm?
We were reminded that we have a well-spring of Courage, Love, Wisdom and Possibility available to us when we learn to tap into this powerful source.
Alive & Inspired offers embodied practices, small group and individual coaching, workshops, retreats and community to support people in creating lives of presence and possibility.
We welcome you!

About Us
Received through meditation, deep listening and exploration, Alive & Inspired is a dynamic integration of the work that Jackie and Ann have been bringing to their clients, students and their own lives.
The power of Alive & Inspired is that it's a body-based process that fosters connection to self, transforms patterns of contraction and resistance, and supports women in compassionately and courageously moving from intention to inspired action.
The process evolved as Jackie and Ann, long-time friends and professional colleagues, came together with the intention of bringing their passion for growth and transformation, their years of training and practice, to the world in a greater way. It was a calling, an impulse and a download that began in 2015 and has since then touched the lives of many clients and retreat attendees. Alive & Inspired's foundational roots are in the Enneagram System, and in 2021 the co-creators dedicated themselves to a three year intensive personal and professional Enneagram certification program to further explore and deepen their own Enneagram journey as well as Alive & Inspired. While the bones of A&I haven't really changed, the dynamic process has a new-found resonance, freshness and clarity, and Jackie and Ann are looking forward to sharing it with all who attend the 2025 retreat.
