Meet Jacqui

My name is Jacqui van Weel, and I am here to welcome you to a space where art, energy, and healing come together to support your connection to self and to life’s natural rhythms.

Growing up on the Mornington Peninsula, I developed a deep appreciation for nature and the quiet wisdom it offers. I’ve always been sensitive to the energy of people and places, and from a young age, I found joy in creative expression, as well as being immersed in the outdoors—swimming, hiking, and skiing. That love for the sea, the bush, and the mountains has stayed with me, and I’ve spent many years living in these beautiful environments.

My own healing journey began at 17, when unexpected health issues led me to explore alternative and energetic therapies. This path opened my heart to many modalities including Reiki, Qigong, Tai Chi and Bowen Therapy. Over time, and while raising my family, I have continued to study and deepen my practice, now working as a Reiki Master, Certified Creatively Fit Coach, and facilitator at OpenSky Qigong and Tai Chi for Arthritis.

Now, my work is focused on helping others find balance, healing, and alignment, through Bowen Therapy sessions in clinic and in the comfort of their own home via online healing sessions. Whether hands-on or across a screen, my intention is always to hold space for your body and spirit to unwind, reset, and heal. I know how it feels not to trust your body, but also how freeing and beautiful it can be to return to it with full trust and self-love.

For 15 years, my husband and I raised our three children in the Snowy Mountains of NSW. Our time in Jindabyne deeply inspired my work and rekindled my love for visual art. That’s when SoulFlakes was born - intuitive artworks created in a meditative state, using words, symbols, and colours to invoke a healing response. Each SoulFlake is a one-of-a-kind expression, designed to uplift energy and encourage connection to the authentic self. Since returning to the Mornington Peninsula, I’ve continued to run my SoulFlakes studio and offer a range of creative and energetic experiences - like “Colour Your HeART” workshops and intuitive art therapy.

Now my focus shifts to sharing everything I’ve learned along my healing journey, to help you on yours. These offerings are all grounded in gentle, heart-centred guidance and the belief that healing begins with connection - to ourselves, to nature, and to the moment we’re in.

I love using the creative arts as a pathway for expression, and it brings me deep joy to facilitate and support healing, growth, and self-discovery in others.

We get to choose in every moment.
