Read what clients are saying about this work:
I started going to Jackie about 18 months ago. At the time, I experienced back pain when standing for long periods of time, and an MRI showed I had greatly reduced disc space between my L-4 and L-5 vertebrae. In addition, I occasionally had knee, ankle and shoulder problems. I had been to a Feldenkrais practitioner before, but did not find them helpful. I went to Jackie only because she was recommended to me by a friend.
At our first session, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Jackie was very “hands on.” She moved my body in ways that immediately helped me feel more relaxed and loose. Over time, I noticed that I was standing and walking with more ease, and that my body had learned some new, more flexible “patterns.” I am now a bit taller than I was before. My posture when walking and sitting is definitely better. Jackie has taught me some simple exercises that I can do at home when my back tightens up, and these same exercises also help to prevent problems. I now have hope that I will continue to improve in ways that massage, physical therapy and chiropractic methods never were able to affect.
Jackie is always a pleasure to work with. She is informative, encouraging, and intuitive in how she handles a person’s specific bodily complaints. Besides having a stronger and healthier body due to her help, I also feel like I have more awareness of how I can be even healthier in the future. She has showed me how I can retrain unhealthy patterns in my walk that have helped me avoid knee problems. I heartily recommend her services.

I have had back pain for years. Jackie's work is the only thing that has relieved my pain! She addresses not only the symptom of pain but the way I use my body that causes the problem. Since seeing Jackie I have been able to work more in my catering business and feel a greater sense of well-being. It is truly a gift to have Jackie in our community...she is both caring and extremely competent.
