About Us
Welcome to Vital Spark Coaching, where your journey to vitality, authenticity,and a profoundly meaningful life begins. I am Jai Wilson, the founder and guiding force behind Vital Spark Coaching, dedicated to igniting the spark of vitality in everyone I work with. My path to becoming a vitality coach has been both unique and deeply transformative, marked by professional achievements, personal revelations, and a continuous quest for growth and understanding.
Holding a Master’s in Health Administration from the University of British Columbia, my academic foundation laid the groundwork for a nuanced understanding of health and wellness. This was further enriched by comprehensive training in hypnotherapy, culminating in accreditation and certification with the International Hypnotherapy Association. These qualifications are not just credentials; they are a testament to my commitment to providing scientifically grounded and emotionally attuned guidance.
Before founding Vital Spark Coaching, I spent 15 years in managerial roles within the social service field, where I supported countless families in building resilience amidst life’s challenges. This experience honed my ability to empathize, connect, and effect positive change, shaping my approach to coaching.
My love for travel and cultural diversity has been a cornerstone of my personal and professional life, offering me invaluable perspectives that I integrate into my coaching practice. Similarly, my passion for nature, biohacking principles, meditation, and personal growth practices has not only enhanced my own life but also enriched my coaching philosophy. These interests reflect my belief in the importance of holistic wellness, encompassing physical health, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual fulfillment.
Parenthood has been one of the most profound experiences of my life, teaching me lessons in love, responsibility, and the transformative power of nurturing relationships. It has deepened my understanding of human potential and resilience, insights that I bring to my work as a coach.
My journey to founding Vital Spark Coaching was sparked by a personal crisis: a midlife encounter with burnout, a lack of meaning, and restlessness. This challenging period became a crucible for transformation, leading me to rediscover vitality, engagement, energy, deep relationships, and inspiration. It’s a journey I am now passionate about facilitating for others.
Today, my life is a testament to the power of authentic engagement with the world. My love of nature, dance, paddle boarding, and deep conversations are not just hobbies; they are integral parts of a life lived fully and authentically. They symbolize the balance, joy, and connectedness that I strive to help others achieve.
At Vital Spark Coaching, I draw upon my extensive background, personal experiences, and continuous learning to guide individuals on their transformative journeys. Whether you’re navigating midlife challenges, seeking deeper connections, or striving for greater vitality and authenticity, I am here to support you. Together, we will ignite the spark of vitality within you, setting you on a path to a life filled with energy, meaning, and profound engagement.
Until you are willing to be confused about what you already know, what you know will never grow bigger, better, or more useful.
