Thelma Jaekel

I have proudly called Albany home since 2007 and have been part of Sound Life Financial Services since 2014. Today, I co-own the business with my eldest son, Harrison Miles. Together, we’ve built a fantastic team known for our empathy, genuine connection, and shared commitment to supporting clients in every way we can.

At Sound Life Financial Services, our clients and their experience are at the heart of everything we do. We focus on providing holistic, goals-driven, and values-based advice, ensuring that each person feels heard and supported. Our aim is to give clients the confidence to take positive steps in their lives and make smart financial decisions for their future.

Outside of work, I enjoy being active and making the most of the beautiful Albany outdoors. My journey—from raising a family and balancing careers in nursing and farming in Ongerup/Borden, to embarking on a new path in financial planning—has shaped my compassionate approach and understanding of people’s individual circumstances. I’m passionate about helping clients feel comfortable discussing their financial goals and empowering them to achieve meaningful results.
