Need a Soulmate? Westford's Jaclyn Foster Can Help

After time over seas, Westford native Jaclyn Foster moved back to town last year to begin a business that helps build romantic confidence for local professionals.

Men might be from Mars and women might be from Venus, but Jaclyn Foster is from Westford, and she’s determined to help determined single folks figure all that stuff out.

Since moving back to town in September of 2011, Foster has operated a “soulmate attraction” coaching service, helping clients discover inner authenticity and traits that facilitate the discovery of stronger and more fulfilling romantic relationships.

Coming from a background in Yoga and personal wellness, Foster left Westford six years ago to travel abroad, where she found the man that would become her husband. Inspired, today she seeks to combine her personal and professional experiences along with psychoanalytical research to help others find their soulmates as well.

“It’s not a dating service or a matchmaking service,” she says. “It’s really about coaching the individual to help clarify about what they want in a romantic relationship and helping clear any (mental) clutter that is preventing them from attracting that special person into their life.”

Currently, the majority of her clients are females, particularly those who she says have lost touch with their feminine traits in the more masculine-based professional world.  However, she welcomes men and women clients and believes that people of both genders possess masculine and feminine traits that need to be understood for finding and maintaining healthy romantic relationships.

Indeed, Foster says that cultivating masculine and feminine skills for men is just as important for men as it is for women, if in different ways.

“Men do need to show their powerful energy, that is a key attraction to women, but at the same time they also need to recognize that feminine side of them as well,” she says. “It’s definitely smaller, but it’s good to recognize it, especially when it comes to communication and creating a lasting connection.”

Foster also believes that anyone can find a fulfilling romantic relationship, whether it be with their “one true soulmate” or finding love after loss, although she often finds the largest obstacles are preconceived notions built by society that become internalized in the psyche.

“I want to let people know that it’s possible to find true love, and that people shouldn’t just go into autopilot with beliefs like it’s not possible to find someone after turning 40,” she says.

Currently, Foster does almost all of her coaching remotely, although she says that in-person visits are also possible.

More information on her business is available on her website.
