Jacques Laguerre is a life coach, educator, U.S. Army veteran, and graduate student pursuing advanced training in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Clinical Counseling. His work focuses on helping individuals develop greater clarity, strengthen personal discipline, navigate major life transitions, and create sustainable changes in their physical, emotional, relational, and professional lives.
Jacques brings a diverse background to his coaching practice. He has served as an airborne infantryman in the United States Army, worked internationally as a teacher and K–12 vice principal, and completed graduate-level education in the medical sciences before transitioning into the mental health field. These experiences have shaped his practical, compassionate, and whole-person approach to personal development.
His areas of interest include health and wellness, goal acheivement, mental and physical fitness, relationship patterns, life transitions, grief and loss, personal accountability, and confidence. Jacques understands that meaningful change involves more than motivation. He works with clients to identify the emotional and behavioral patterns that may be keeping them stuck, establish realistic goals, and develop the consistency necessary to move forward.
Jacques is particularly passionate about supporting people who appear successful or resilient on the outside but privately struggle with fear, uncertainty, avoidance, or a lack of direction. His coaching style is collaborative, encouraging, direct, and grounded in the belief that people can acknowledge where they are without allowing their current circumstances to determine where they finish.
As part of the Foreviva team, Jacques provides life coaching and wellness-focused support designed to help clients build healthier habits, strengthen their sense of purpose, and become more intentional in the way they approach their lives.
