About me...

Hi, I’m Jacquie Szachara. During perimenopause, yes, I said the word…, I encountered a myriad of challenges, including chronic pain, weight gain, brain fog, and depression. Despite being a Pilates Instructor and familiar with self-care, I couldn’t find the answers to my joint pain or my brain function.  And, I wasn’t getting anywhere with traditional medicine.

​

Five years later, with little improvement from waiting, I embarked on a holistic journey embracing nutritional and spiritual approaches to health. The transformation was remarkable - weight effortlessly shed, and I experienced newfound strength in mind, body, and spirit. As a Pilates Studio Owner and Master Instructor committed to empowering others to feel strong and active, I realized the importance of integrating other aspects of health into my expertise.

​

Now, as a certified Integrative Nutritional Health Coach accredited by the globally recognized Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), I advocate for an individualized approach to wellness. Integrative coaching recognizes that there's no one-size-fits-all solution; it's about a collaborative journey between coach and client to achieve success. I aspire to be that guiding presence for you.

Thus, I founded StrongHer Self, a platform dedicated to helping women navigate the overwhelming sea of health information, empowering them to feel amazing and live vibrant, active lives!"
