JK (Jennie-Kate) McQuinn

Hello, I'm JK (Jennie-Kate), offering coaching that uniquely combines traditional life, mindset & career coaching with the benefits of nature. Whether in my private woodland near Ripon, Walk and Talk sessions across W&N Yorkshire or online, I help you find clarity and purpose through a personalised and down-to-earth approach to coaching and change. 

Focused on an whole-self approach. 

I work with both men and women, typically between ages 25-54. 

You are looking for confidence  and a way to make choices in your career, life or both. 

You want to feel less overwhelmed and like you are living a life that contributes to good things, with simple and beautiful moments and experiences for yourself too. 

You have been experiencing some complex feelings/emotions or health needs - short or long term. And need a space to explore effective strategies and perspectives to deal with these confidently and compassionately for yourself. 

Our sessions usually explore issues like:

• Imposter syndrome that keeps you second-guessing
• Career anxiety and decision paralysis - over next steps and changes. 
• Stress and over-whelm that feels close to burnout 
• Perfectionism or over-commitment that fuels stress and burnout
• Social anxiety holding back your leading potential
• Self-doubt in professional or social settings
• Overthinking that blocks action & change
• People-pleasing patterns draining your energy
• Dealing with Loss, grief or trauma. 
• Struggles with feeling and being heard [boundaries and assertiveness]

Our sessions will also look at 

-Loneliness of navigating these feelings. 

- A 'whole-self' view of challenges and opportunities - unique to you. 

- Living more purposefully to contribute to people and planet health - this is a subtle thread to my coaching approach in nature. 

My nature-inspired and connected approach combines:
- coaching in nature's calming settings - learning from not just in the natural world. 

- The Where the Mind Grows 'rewilding yourself' approach that helps you feel better connected with yourself and ways to express and be just that.  
- Practical confidence-building strategies
-Boundary-setting techniques & confident communication to minimise people-pleasing and over-commitment. 
- A gentle yet direct guide helping you toward your goals and intentions. 
- Evidence-based tools for managing mental health and well-being, 

You'll discover how to:

• Trust your decisions and expertise
• Speak up with authentic confidence
• Cut out the clutter and live more simply and connected
•  Navigate workplace challenges calmly
• Build resilience against stress
•  Create sustainable flow in life and work, for resilience and confidence in complex and changing life circumstances.
•  Take purposeful career steps with clarity
• Deepen connections within personal and professional relationships and friendships. 
• A sense of clearer balance, meaning and purpose
• Feel less impacted by negative emotions or self-talk. 
• A deeper connection as yourself, with nature. 

Nature-Based sessions tend to be mis-understood as 'fluffy' or 'woowoo' 

That's not the approach you will find here.

With a balance of science-backed coaching approaches and activities.  

I focus on supporting:

• People navigating life transitions & Individuals ready for meaningful change. 

Whether walking among trees or connecting online, we'll create a judgment-free space to explore, grow, and transform. Your goals guide our work together, whether that's career evolution, personal growth, or finding balance in an increasingly complex world.
