Jackie also mentored for four years under an MD/LAc/Functional Medicine Doctor for four years while attending OCOM, and this experience greatly deepened her understanding of how to navigate complex cases. She is passionate about helping people solve mystery illnesses, and also to help find balance in their lives and to create harmonious health so that disease does not occur in the first place.
