Jackie’s Story
I lived with pain during and after my professional career as a ballerina and musical theater performer in New York City and after the birth of my first child. I know what it’s like to be incapacitated with pain and have your life put on hold. My healing journey took a long time and I don’t want it to be a long journey for you. The elimination of pain and suffering is my mission.
