Jackie comes to Whole Body Solutions as a practitioner that grew from the experience of being a patient at Whole Body herself. After addressing her ADD, Lyme, and candida overgrowth with Dr. Ann and Nancy Loedy, she was inspired to evolve from a farm to table focused chef, to coaching others on functional nutrition and greater brain health.

Jackie believes that with Brain Integration and change of diet, a whole new world of possibilities can open up as they did for her. She specializes in working with people that have learning problems, depression, anxiety and PTSD.

While a chef, Jackie spent a lot of time working on farms, and planning events that immersed people to look at their food differently. Now, she spends time as a trained Master Gardener advocating for the health of our communities through this type of stewardship. The message of importance in being active, in community with others, and having a connection to nature permeate her work as a practitioner.
