ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jacqueline Merne is a specialist consultant in stress management. She provides strategic guidance to individuals and corporate clients, empowering them to gain deeper self-awareness for managing personal and occupational stress. Throughout her career, Jacqueline has successfully developed and implemented a broad range of programmes within the mental health sector, including training to encourage independence, life skills, goal setting, financial management, stress management, depression awareness and relaxation techniques. Following a rewarding career in the public sector, she brought this valuable knowledge base to the private and corporate spheres.

Jacqueline worked in a number of war-torn and famine-stricken African countries, where she became only too aware of the necessity for managing stress effectively. With her training and expertise, she helped create personalised plans for a diverse client base, including individuals experiencing physical disability. She equips clients with the necessary tools to identify the root cause of their stress, and helps them implement a road map to achieve improved personal well-being.

Early in her career as a general and psychiatric nurse, she witnessed the devastating impact that uncontrolled stress had on individuals — crushing their personal relationships, devastating their families, and hijacking their careers. Through these experiences, Jacqueline began to recognise the critical importance of addressing stress before medical intervention ever need take place. Indeed, she believes that much stress can be managed by the individual, using easy-to-follow techniques. With this in mind, Jacqueline developed a clear programme to educate people on the importance of effective stress management. Often, by stepping back form an issue, observing it objectively, and implementing simple steps, individuals can initiate enormous change in a more positive direction.

Jacqueline lives near London with her husband, Gerry, and they both enjoy a fulfilling work/life balance. In her spare time she enjoys upcycling vintage clothing and hand painting 20th century furniture to give a shabby-chic style. She finds being close to nature relaxing, and regularly takes walks by the river near her home.
