Client Stories
I am blessed to have Jackie as both my supervisor and my healer. As a supervisor she has been a masterful guide – tender and to the point,playful and deeply present, a wise and inspiring teacher. As a healer, she has held me lovingly throughout the ups and downs of my journey, listened attentively to my soul’s longings and reflected my process back to me with great clarity. And when I descended into the depths, groping
around in the dark, she held my hand with the calm solidity that comes from a deep faith and trust in life.

I came to see Jackie at a time when I could no longer deny the pain of
the abuse and abandonment I had suffered as a child. It was wreaking
havoc in my life. I wasn't even sure how she might help me, but as the
sessions progressed, I experienced in her presence what I can only
describe as unconditional love. She held this loving space for me as I
went deep into the pain and began the process of integration that
continues to this day. I am so grateful for her caring and intuitive
sense of what I needed to be able to do this.

I
was under the tender care of Nancy during my time with breast cancer. I
chose not do any of the traditional treatments offered by hospitals for
cancer care. I was very specific about the alternative care I received
and found Nancy to be both knowledgeable and compassionate. She guided
me through this incredible time in my life, once a week, for many years.
I am now cancer free over 10 years.

Working
with Nancy has been immensely rewarding. She listens,
advises, teaches, and occasionally even cajoles, out of a foundation
that is both grounded and deep. I am especially grateful to Nancy for her skills with respect to my
physical disabilities, and how they have impacted my emotions and personality. My body, mind and spirit have all benefited wonderfully from Nancy's expertise, wisdom and love.

Jackie is an extraordinarily gifted healer and master teacher. She creates a deeply relational space where transformational healing on
all levels can occur. I have been having sessions with Jackie for many
years both in person and long distance. She listens to my journey with
great wisdom, understanding and compassion and is able to be present
in a way where one feels received and heard. Her questions and
insights lead to great clarity about the patterns in life that are no
longer useful and transforms them so there is more ease, acceptance
and inner contentment. The authentic me is more able to be in the
world and life is very different from when I first began this journey
with her. Jackie has been a continuous source of support and
inspiration for these many years and I deeply
treasure having her in my life.

Nancy, I really enjoyed your class on 'The Energetics of Yoga' and came home with an energy field bigger than this house. Even my husband commented on it. The scenarios you led us through were also helpful and some of them, as we tightened certain muscles, seemed quite familiar, so I'll remember to notice when it comes up again and I'll know what to do to relax them.
Margo M. Asheville, NC
Deciding to work with Nancy Pope was a pivotal time in my life. She
helped me to move beyond the past and uncover my true potential in ways
that I would not have imagined. Nancy gave me methods of releasing and
centering that are still applicable many years later.
-Julie T. New Hampshire
Jackie
models the loveliest form of skillful listening I could ever
want in a spiritual guide or a healer. She offers crystalline
insights and stunningly caring questions when I am most ready to breathe
them in. Our long distance conversations consist of the warm
timbre of her clear and strong voice and me hearing myself often more
clearly than ever. Today, as I work with others and support their
capacity to allow the blessings of life to flower within them, it is
Jackie Tatelman’s blessed blend of ease and wisdom that so often
inspires me.
-Robert C. New Jersey
My work with Jackie over the last 4 years has been life changing. She
is skilled at knowing what to work on, pick up and hold gently in her
minds eye. She has guided me to learn to see where I fall and how to
recover. To notice how I fall, let my energy slip, and to gently help
me back on course. I feel more seated in myself, I still slip, but I
am learning the tools to not fall as hard and not to let it shake me
to my roots. My work with Jackie has been and continues to be an
important key in learning the depths and facets of my being. It is one
of the best things I have done for myself.

Jackie's level of presence, authenticity, wisdom, compassion and
generosity enable her to be a consumate teacher and healer. Her ability
to deeply embody these qualities are a testament to her commitment to
her own continual self-work and inner growth. Such a commitment to
one's own development is precisely what makes for a profound teacher and
a healer. As A.H. Almaas writes in Diamond Heart Book Two, "A
real teacher is a true friend.... A friend guides you so that you
yourself can see how things are. That is a real teacher" (Almaas, 2000,
p. 184 ). He could have been describing Jackie then and later in that
same book, when he elaborated, "When you are yourself, your personal
beingness, then and only then is it possible to treat other people as
people, as humans in a personal way. Then they are no longer objects to
you" (Almaas, 200, p. 205). My experience with Jackie has shown me
that she is exactly that: herself--her own personal version of
beingness. I'm immensely grateful for the growth, wisdom and healing
she has inspired in my life.
- Jude R. Rhode Island
I am deeply grateful for the work Jackie and I have done together. Not
only do I feel deeply understood but primary patterns and belief
systems have changed. Jackie embodies a powerful combination of focus,
open-heartedness and deep vision. Her deep trust in the unfolding of
life is beyond inspiring, it forms real ground for movement and
change.
- L. Bailey Colorado
Jackie doesn't just walk her practice---she is her practice, through and through. She brings wisdom, compassion and integrity. I am evergrateful for her healing---it is a balm.
