Hi, I'm Jaclyn

I love what I do.

Before River + Rise, I spent years as a pediatric emergency and surgical nurse. I witnessed the power of modern medicine every day and came to deeply respect the body's capacity to heal.

Yet I couldn't ignore the quiet knowing that healing was about more than what could be measured, managed or fully explained.

At the same time, I found myself moving through my own season of change, carrying a persistent feeling that something in my life was asking for more.

Looking back, I realize I wasn't searching for a new life. I was searching for myself.

That journey changed everything and became the foundation for the work I now do at River + Rise.

 The River + Rise Method™

 

I spent years searching for what actually creates lasting change.

I studied the body, the nervous system, energy, consciousness, and the many ways we experience healing. Along the way, I kept returning to the same question:

Why do some people transform while others remain stuck, even when they know exactly what to do?

Over time, I realized that lasting change isn't created by more information. It's created by restoring coherence to the whole person.

Sometimes what's asking to be healed lives in the body. Sometimes it's an emotion that was never fully felt, a belief that was never questioned, a pattern carried through generations, an energetic imprint, or a deeper knowing we've learned to ignore.

Wherever the disconnect exists, the result is often the same: we begin living from what we've carried instead of who we truly are.

The River + Rise Method™ was born from that understanding. Rather than focusing on a single symptom or one area of life, it restores coherence across the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic aspects of the human experience—creating the conditions for lasting transformation.

Not by changing who you are.

But by helping you return to who you've been all along.

my roots

The River + Rise Method™ draws from years of study, clinical experience, personal exploration, and a lifelong curiosity about healing, consciousness, and the human experience.

Beyond The Work

My idea of a perfect day includes discovering a new swimming hole with my family and nowhere we need to be.

My favorite movies of all time are interstellar, arrival, don't look up + guardians of the galaxy. There's a theme haha

Home is by the river with my husband, our two daughters, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and a flock of chickens named after Guardians of the Galaxy characters. 

I like my iced coffee black + my pizza homemade.

Absolutely nothing lights me up more than witnessing a woman come home to herselfÂ
