About Me

Welcome—I’m Jacqueline,

I build AI support systems for established service businesses. Not generic tools that make you sound robotic, bespoke AI teams that reduce mental load, protect your voice, and back you up when everything’s in your head.

I work with business owners who are already successful but stuck being the bottleneck in their own business. If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

My Story

Remember that familiar feeling? Staring at a blank page, the cursor blinking away, whilst brilliant ideas about your business swim in your mind but the perfect words to express them seem just out of reach.

I’ve been there too. That dreaded cursor used to paralyse me completely. My own journey with AI began just like that, looking for a way to reclaim my evenings from endless content creation and manual tasks, searching for a better approach to running my business.

What started as curiosity became expertise. I’ve now worked with 20+ established businesses, building AI systems that protect voice whilst reducing mental load. The pattern is consistent: when the foundations are right, AI becomes genuine support, not another thing to manage.

My path to working with AI has been anything but traditional. After twenty years of living internationally and thirteen enriching years in fundraising, where I mastered the art of connecting with people and creating efficient systems, I could have stuck with familiar ways of doing things. But in my mid-60s, when many settle into routines, I chose to embrace AI technology, learning, testing, and discovering how it could transform businesses for the better.

When I launched my business in 2017, I started working with women-led service businesses, first as a VA, now as an AI strategist. From this work, I’ve learned what makes AI implementation succeed or fail: strategy before technology, voice calibration before automation, and clear standards that AI can actually learn from.

One of my proudest moments came in 2025, when I won a Woman Who Solopreneur Award. It felt like recognition not just of my business, but of every client, collaborator and friend who’s shared this journey.

How I Help

I’m an AI specialist and trainer who works with established service businesses. My focus isn’t chasing every new AI tool, it’s implementing what consistently works across real businesses.

Here’s how I work:

  • AI Strategy & Setup
    I show you what’s actually possible for your business, get your tools set up properly (ChatGPT, Claude, NotebookLM), and create a clear implementation plan. Start with the AI Advantage Power Hour (£149) or book a strategy session.
  • Custom AI Teams
    I build bespoke AI assistants trained on your voice and business, from 2 assistants (£800) to complete AI teams with directors coordinating specialists (from £1,950). Voice calibration comes first, then we build.
  • Training & Partnership
    One-to-one training for your business, group workshops for communities, or ongoing strategic partnership as your business grows and AI needs evolve.

My goal isn’t just to save you time. It’s to reduce the mental load of carrying everything in your head, so you’ve got actual capacity to scale without burning out, whilst your voice, values and judgment stay yours.

What Makes Working with Me Different:

Beyond the Business

When I’m not creating AI solutions, you might find me quilting (every family member has one!), tending to my garden, or enjoying ballroom dancing with my husband. Some of my happiest moments are spent with my grandchildren, watching them discover the world.

Values Close to My Heart

Client Success Stories

From the 20+ businesses I’ve worked with, here’s what clients say:

What I loved most about working with Jacqueline is that she doesn't try to force AI into places where it doesn't need to be in your business. Her background and experience as a VA is her superpower - she knows exactly where AI will genuinely work in the real, day-to-day running of your business, and where keeping things simple or manual will serve you best.

Jacqueline helps you get the foundations right because she knows this is going to help give her clients the BEST results possible and she isn't interested in doing it any other way. She sees between the lines and isn't afraid to challenge your thinking to get deeper context and insight. The plan I left the room with was different to the plan I entered with but in the best way. It was more aligned, more connected and more intentional.

She made it all so simple and I have learnt a lot. She definitely took all the stress away from me and gave me something that looks really professional and I shall be proud to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can we start working together?

I work with a limited number of clients each month to ensure quality setup and support. I book consultations 2-3 weeks in advance. Book your consultation here.

I work with established women-led service businesses, coaches, consultants, course creators, membership owners, who are already making money but stuck being the bottleneck. You’ve got clients and revenue, but everything lives in your head and nothing moves unless you do it.

I offer several ways to learn:

  • One-to-one training tailored to your business needs
  • Group training for communities and teams
  • Hands-on workshops for specific AI tools
  • Ongoing support to help you implement what you learn

Every business is unique. I take time to understand your specific industry, audience, and goals before recommending solutions. We’ll develop AI strategies that fit your way of working.
