Jayci Gibbs is a health & nutrition educator, certified health and wellness coach, and a chronic disease self-management specialist with over a decade of experience in the wellness field. She is the founder of This Connected Life, a mission-driven company rooted in her belief that true change begins within—and that healed people heal people.
Jayci's passion for health began early, growing up in Kentucky and witnessing firsthand how lack of education and access to resources impacted her friends, family, and community. With a degree in public health, she chose a path of prevention over treatment—leaving behind a traditional career trajectory to follow her deeper purpose: helping people feel truly connected to their lives, their bodies, and their joy.
Through her coaching practice, she supports women navigating stress and burnout—guiding them to set boundaries, improve self-worth, and reclaim their energy, time, and passion. Her work goes beyond physical health; it invites deep transformation by addressing mindset, emotional wellbeing, and community connection.
Jayci currently serves low-income communities in San Diego through nutrition and wellness education, and co-hosts Recharge Rooms—free monthly events in partnership with a chronic illness coach that offer nervous system regulation and stress relief practices. She also teaches a favorite program inspired by Blue Zone wisdom, which integrates nutrition, purpose, social connection, and natural movement.
Jayci believes health is more than diet and exercise—it’s about how connected you feel to your life. Her mission is to elevate your wellbeing and help you celebrate your life. With a joyful, optimistic spirit, she encourages people to rewrite limiting stories, shift their mindset, and uncover the passion that’s already within them.
When she’s not working with clients or hosting wellness events, you’ll find her gardening, trail running, biking the coast, camping under the stars, or training for a triathlon with her pup, Joni, by her side.
