Briar Jacques

Director of Holistic Services
Mindfulness Meditation & Yoga Teacher

I was born in New Zealand, raised in Australia and have been in Dubai for eight years, working with individuals and groups on a wide range of issues.

The central focus of my approach is helping people build and sustain an aware, honest and compassionate relationship with themselves so that they can have a vital and engaged relationship with life. While I have also had traditional training in psychological modalities, my practice has evolved over the years into a predominantly spiritual approach to wellbeing. I mainly use    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychosynthesis and Somatic Experiencing in my work. 

Who do I see and how does it work? I see anyone over the age of 18 years. I tend to attract clients who want to become more conscious and are experiencing some kind of a breakthrough or spiritual crisis. 

I have also been a qualified yoga teacher  for the past 20 years. When I’m not working with people, I like to read, write, dance, hike, cook, meditate or hang out with family and friends.
