"Aside from her depth of knowledge and ability to translate theory into practical solutions, the most powerful thing about Jacie is how well she listens and gets to the real root of the issue so we can identify where we need to change."

"I really appreciate the manner in which Jacie presents and participates in our sessions. She makes everyone feel very comfortable, and it is easy to accept her feedback and suggestions. After a session, I come away with valuable information to use for myself and in my classroom."
