Meet Jaclyn

New Orleans-based holistic life coach and artist Jaclyn McCabe brings a vibrant blend of creativity, compassion, and curiosity to everything she does.

Jaclyn's journey as a creator and healer has been anything but linear. After earning degrees in Photojournalism and Cultural Anthropology from Western Kentucky University, she transitioned into retail, opening a boutique that celebrated plus-size women. It was there that she began to notice the deeper cultural wounds her customers carried—patterns of shame, criticism, and disconnection from their worthiness. 

This inspired Jaclyn to become a certified professional coach, focusing on helping people rewrite those narratives. Her holistic approach empowers clients to replace self-criticism with self-grace, step into their biggest dreams, and embrace their inherent worth.

Her specialty is teaching real, relatable, and practical skills so you can find contentment, happiness, and a life you genuinely love.

Through all of her work, Jaclyn's mission remains clear: to help others see themselves—and the world—through a lens of possibility, beauty, and acceptance.

When she's not in her Bywater home studio making art, you'll find Jaclyn exploring the bayous in her little boat, riding her bike, or taking in live local music.
