About Me
Inspiring people to lead purpose-driven lives
Welcome to Quackenbush Coaching!
I’m Jewel Quackenbush, a Master Certified Coach and the Chief Vision Officer of Quackenbush Coaching. My mission is simple: to help you overcome burnout, navigate career transitions, and find fulfillment in both your professional and personal life.
I’ve been where you are; working in high-stress environments, managing demanding careers, and balancing the roles of wife and mother. I’ve spent years working in a corporate setting and as an executive in hospitality, so I understand the pressures that come with leadership and the toll they can take. My coaching approach is holistic, intrinsic, and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles, helping you focus on what truly matters while providing practical strategies to tackle what’s ahead.
At Quackenbush Coaching, I partner with a diverse range of clients, including but not limited to; healthcare executives, hospitality professionals, corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, and individuals at a career crossroads. Whether you’re managing a team, transitioning to a new role, or seeking a fresh perspective, I’m here to support your growth. Together, we’ll work on strengthening communication, enhancing productivity, and developing habits that lead to long-term success.
If you’re ready to upgrade your life, find more balance, and unlock new possibilities, let’s get started.
Your journey to a more fulfilling, purpose-driven life begins here.

What People Say
“I was a joyous recipient of Jewel’s coaching in the process of making a career transition, and she was a key asset in my successful jump from one side of the industry to another.
Jewel is exceptionally gifted in her ability to read and understand clients in a way that makes her guidance very powerful. She has both an empathetic ear and a firm hand, the perfect combination for someone like me who doesn’t often ask for or accept help.
If you need keen advice, a change in your own personal perspective, a specific game plan or just a “general direction” you’d like to go next— Jewel is the first professional I would call.”
-Danielle Young, Information Central for RBP Buyers // EBA Magazine Rising Star Adviser // Host of the ClaimTalk Podcast
“Working with Jewel as my life coach has transformed my trajectory. With her counsel, I was able to explore new possibilities for both my professional and personal development. She motivated me through a process that helped me clarify my goals and assisted me in resourcing tools to achieve them.
Jewel truly has a gift for facilitating growth in a way that feels both empowering and attainable. Her vast experience in leadership, combined with her passion for fostering growth in others, makes it clear that she is deeply invested in supporting her clients on their journey to success.
Jewel encouraged me to trust in my abilities and aim higher. With her guidance, I’ve been able to realize a life that brings me not just contentment but joy and fulfillment. Whether you are looking to grow in your career or enhance your personal life, I cannot recommend Jewel highly enough. She has truly helped me reach my fullest potential as a human, and I am confident she can do the same for anyone fortunate enough to work with her.”
-Blair Michele Meehan, Master of Arts in Counseling: Art Therapy & Certificate in Sex Therapy
“I have known Jewel for almost a decade. We met while she was in corporate leading teams and creating better cultures inside companies.
I have since called on her to help me better understand how to lead others and when I felt resistance from myself to take on bigger challenges professionally and personally. I prosper with her in my life.
Jewel was an extremely empathetic and intuitive leader and I am grateful that she now is helping others lead more thoughtfully. The way she trains on conflict and how to ask better questions to diffuse conflicts faster, reach harmony and get better results — it’s really masterful. She has helped me understand how to work with people who think differently.
Also, as an executive and a mom, I appreciate that she has the corporate background, along with the fact that she is a mother and wife. She has wisdom, intelligence and grace.
She’s truly a Jewel…”

- When Was the Last Time You Actually Tasted Your FoodWhen was the last time you actually tasted your food? Not rushed through it or eaten it between obligations, but truly noticed it. This reflection explores how our transactional relationship with food mirrors how we show up with one another at work and in life, and how presence, gratitude, and kindness can transform both leadership and everyday moments. Sometimes the path back to being human starts with pasta.
