About Jacqueline Cherry

Jacqueline Cherry created her first Women’s Empowerment Forum five years ago after the life altering experience of her daughter’s death.  She was transformed by the courage, insight and resilience of women she encountered who had also survived tragic life challenges.  Serendipitously, she became highly motivated to design a program to honor the essential courage of these women and to thank

them for their incredible support in helping her through her intense loss. Drawing on her professional experience as a psychotherapist and her creativity as a group facilitator, she developed a women’s forum that recognizes the magnificence of women at all stages of their lives and in a variety of circumstances.  These forums have been so successful that Jacqueline decided to bring them to a wider audience.  And so, Visionary Expressions was born!

Through the forums, Jacqueline has learned that women are able to create a clear vision for their lives and are catapulted into success, only after they have identified and embraced their strengths, recognized their full potential, and feel supported. Visionary Expressions recognizes that the collective power of motivated women often expedites and accelerates their individual growth potential beyond what they believed was possible!  As President of Visionary Expressions, Jacqueline believes that her strength lies in her dynamic, no-nonsense approach to creating a truly unique and valuable learning opportunity through the use of experiential / interactive teaching methods.  She and her staff are devoted to encouraging women to feel enormously hopeful about the possibilities for expansion and prosperity in all areas of their lives.  Women are typically surprised at how transformational the one day experience can be!
