Jacqueline believes that stepping out of your comfort zone and traveling to new places with like minded friends is one of the best ways to see the world! She feels fortunate to have been part of a family that loved to travel as well as having lived in diverse coastal communities as a Coast Guard spouse. The North Star has always been her anchor in her travels, military moves, and outdoor adventures. Jackie has a deep connection to yoga, nature, animals, and the arts; She feels that incorporating these elements into wellness retreats is essential for a well rounded and transformative experience. She is grateful for the opportunity to help guide participants in finding adventure, connection, and self love on retreats alongside her dear friend, Katie.

Jacqueline lives in New Hampshire with her husband, two sons, and two Siberian Huskies. She is an Interior Designer, E-RYT 500 Hour Yoga Instructor, Holy Fire Karuna Reiki Master, Yoga Alliance Certified Educational Professional, and a NOLS certified wilderness leader. 

Katie has a deeply rooted love for travel, new experiences, and meaningful connections. A hostess at heart, Katie loves to create spaces to bring people together: to rest, heal, and discover (or re-discover) their own light; all while forming lifelong friendships along the way. The fruition of North Star with her kindred spirit, Jackie, has been such a joy for her!

Katie lives on the Seacoast of New Hampshire with her husband and three boys, learning daily about balance, joy, and presence. She is an avid volunteer, working with the Pediatric Airway team of Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Massachusetts General Hospital, the Widow and Widower community, and her boys school. Katie is an RYT 500 Hour Yoga Instructor and a Holy Fire Karuna Reiki Master.
