Hi, I’m Jacki!
Occupational Therapist, OTR/L, CBIS and Founder
I have a deep passion for helping people create a more pleasurable life, which is why I fell in love with Occupational Therapy. Throughout my 8+ years working in a variety of treatment settings, I have sensed that there is a gap in the range of therapeutic support that is offered to people in need. I decided to establish Holistic Life Skills as a way to fill in that gap and put my skills to broader use.
My practice is committed to valuing you as a whole person by curating treatment goals that address all aspects of your life. I hope to support you in building, rebuilding and exploring meaningful activities that align with your goals and values. I look forward to getting to know who you are and what brings you joy, so that together, we can get you closer to the life you want to live.

“Jacki is an extraordinary therapist. She connected immediately with my husband and exuded great warmth and compassion as she developed a program tailored specifically to his needs. He looked forward to his two hour therapy sessions. Jacki adeptly inspired him to do the hard work necessary to improve both his strength, balance and function. She is brilliantly creative and incorporates therapy in fun and interesting exercises while maintaining the structure necessary for someone who has experienced a traumatic brain injury.”

“I had a massive stroke in mid-March. I was traveling back home to California and was at the San Antonio airport when I collapsed in my seat on the airplane. I could not speak and could only move my left arm and leg. I was total care with transfers, toileting, bathing, dressing, and working on my right side to gain my arm and leg mobility. In May and June, Jacki started working with me four hours per day four days per week. Starting in mid-August, Jacki comes three days per week for two hours. Jacki has taught me to dress myself, bathe on my own, walk with a walker, do my own laundry and fix light meals. She is wonderful and I attribute my success to her.”

"Jacki had a tremendous impact on my 65yo dad who has had 3 strokes in the past. My dad was visiting from India and we got Jacki's personal coaching for him and I saw a real difference in my dad's walking. He went from small, under-confident steps to bigger, confident strides, thereby reducing his fall risk. She taught us techniques around weight shifting and nose-over-toes that seem simple but were eye-opening in giving him new techniques. She was able to do that based on first observing his patterns and helping him build new, healthier patterns. I can't recommend Jacki highly enough. I'm so grateful for her impact on my dad and best of all my usually grumpy dad bonded so so well with her. That is her charm!"
