About - Jackie Gartman

Who am I and what fuels me…

I have been happily married to my husband for 32 years, we have two amazing kids and a beautiful Portuguese Water Dog, named Luna (aka “the lunatic”).

I am an eternal optimist who thrives in life when I work out every day.

I am a lover of chocolate chip cookies, master of scrabble, and you can find me on the dance floor when a disco ball is spinning. I absolutely love being a coach and if I wasn’t a coach, I’d be training to become one.

I tell it like it is and I take full responsibility for my decisions.

Five years ago, I listened to my body for the first time in decades – really listened. Then again, it’s pretty easy to tune in when your body is practically bellowing the truth.

I was miserable. My job was making me nauseous. The physical symptoms were evident.

This is when I knew something had to change. It was time to tap into my true gifts and transform my innate desire to help others into a career that would light me up from within, like a mega-watt bulb.

I embarked on a yearlong intensive with Martha Beck, which unfolded into a Master Coach Certification, and a chance to train aspiring coaches, using Beck’s methodology. Life-changing? Absolutely! And that was just the beginning.

These days, I’m an Instructor & Mentor for newbie coaches who want to stop getting in the way of their own greatness (and start changing lives already!) and a Life Coach for women who are ready to illuminate their self-limiting patterns, and stride into an ultra-bright floodlight of purpose and meaning – at home, at work, and everywhere that matters.

If you’re ready to transform your mind, business and body and dig into some serious self-inquiry that could sting, just a little – I’m your girl!

I will guide you towards the kind of life that flows with electric energy and ease.

Cracking negative mental patterns is my bread & butter!

I’ll serve up the truth from a place of love, humor, honesty and compassion. With consistent coaching & personal dedication, my clients experience transformative results that flow from their inner landscapes into their physical bodies, careers and relationships. It’s a beautiful thing to behold.

To quote The Buddha (who was a pretty smart guy, by all accounts)

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”

"Jackie Gartman is a power coach with a paradoxically gentle touch. You won't find anyone more supportive and sympathetic, but she's also direct, incisive, and quick. The result of this combination, to use a humble analogy, is that Jackie fixes lives like Roto-Rooter fixes drains--she'll take you straight to whatever's blocking your right life, help you scour out the problem, and get your energy flowing freely in the right direction. You'll enjoy her candor, her kindness, and her ability to get quick results. Enjoy!"

"I worked with Jackie over a four- month period with profound effects. I began to analyze my thoughts about the circumstances and experienced a paradigm shift in how I had previously viewed the problem within that context. This eventually led to a peaceful place of freedom..."

"Jackie helped me excavate some of my most deeply held, hidden beliefs and then challenged me to examine and question them in the light of day. The result was a fundamental change in my outlook and way of being in this world. Sometimes I think that I'm a completely different person these days! At the very least, I know that I'm a happier, wiser, more loving, and more peaceful person for having gone through the coaching process with Jackie."

Thanks Jackie! Oh my goodness today's session was so powerful for me. I couldn't help but think about your comment - all your people are waiting for you - but as it applies to YOU - imagine if Jackie Gartman coach had never come into being, I would be missing out BIG TIME!!
