Course Description

Please note that this course is now being offered through the DAANA approach (Pāli, Sanskrit: दान)"the practice of cultivating generosity". Please contact Jackie to learn more about how it works.

Do you want clarity around the message or root causes of your cancer?

Clarity is one of the key things you will get by taking this course. Cancer is a complex disease with multiple contributing factors. Getting clarity around what these factors are can help you focus on what is really important for you in order to make the path to healing as direct as possible.

Do you want to feel confident that you are doing everything you can to heal?

The other main focus of this course is to help you take a proactive role in your healing. Taking responsibility for and actively participating in your own health is key to deep and lasting healing. It is not about blame or guilt but rather about empowerment. You will be equipped and empowered with the knowledge and the tools you need to feel confident that you are doing everything in your power to listen to the messages from your body, strengthen your immune system and make any necessary changes so you can get and stay healthy!

Could cancer be your guide?

In the people that I work with I have seen it happen time and time again where cancer has led them down a new, exciting and more fulfilling life path. This is what I want to help you discover – what changes will your healing journey allow (or give you permission) to make? Joyce O’Brien, my first guest in the course shares her story of how stage 4 breast cancer led her from a high paying, stressful Wall Street job to her true calling and to a new life that she would not trade for anything!

A new Perspective

The course is designed to help you make a big shift in perspective. A shift from seeing cancer as only a life threatening disease to opening up to the possibility that your healing journey may potentially be life enhancing and that it may bring about changes in your life that result in greater levels of joy, fulfillment, passion and harmony.

Wayne Dyer’s Confession

When I interviewed Wayne Dyer two years after his cancer diagnosis (CLL – Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia), he shared with me how life-altering it was. Wayne experienced his cancer diagnosis as a wake-up call on many levels. He confessed to have been caught off-guard and didn’t believe his doctor at first. He was also temporarily brought down by fear and stopped doing many of the things he loved to do. He described it as ‘buying into the diagnosis’.

Finding the Blessing 
In reflecting on his cancer, Wayne admitted to the many blessings that came from it. He felt he became a better person, father, husband and teacher. He felt moved to serve even more people and felt more unconditional love.

During the course I will share with you a recording of Wayne's answers to questions like - Does cancer have a higher purpose? and Did cancer change your daily routine?

During his healing journey, when he started to do what he loved again Wayne said he started feeling better than he had ever felt in his life! That was Wayne’s blessing – what will yours be?

Can Cancer Lead you to your Calling? 

I’ve had a lifetime of adventure, traveled and lived in many places, studied with lots of teachers and had several careers as I searched for my purpose and gift. Everything came into focus as a result of being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1989. That was an earthquake in my life and became the catalyst for deep personal exploration and growth.

Testimonials from past participants:

 I got a lot of new ideas about cancer that I had not been aware of before. For me that was the most important part - a change of perspective from battle to acceptance and from strictly a physical thing to an all-inclusive thing - mind, body, emotions, soul. This is what will stick with me and help me heal.

Jackie, I want to let you know that I find the deep healing meditation (a 10 minute guided meditation) very powerful and helpful for me-----it has led me to believe more strongly in my ability to heal myself and has also led me to identify at least one area of my life on which I need to devote some time and that is unconditional love.

During the course... 'I felt supported and deeply inspired by Jackie's life work. Having this network, tips, support and guidance allowed me to feel empowered and re-energized me to tackle life again. Jackie is so compassionate, open, knowledgeable and just amazing!"

'I’m getting so much out of this deep healing course. It’s been an eye-opener for me, each week I learn something new, so thank you so much for offering this type of course!

When reflecting on the higher purpose of my cancer ... I think back at how I was on the path of unhappiness before the cancer, how I neglected myself, ignoring, not listening or respecting myself. I had forgotten who I was. I was seeing everyone else but me. Cancer, in many ways, opened my eyes to Me !! It brought countless blessings into my life, wonderful people & lots of other things that I would have never taken the time to see or do before. It has been a journey back to myself, to my being, my truth, and mostly to love. Loving and accepting myself for who I am today. This is the most precious gift I can offer to me and to others.

Participants talk about shifts they experienced after taking my course:

- regaining hope, everything is possible and I have all the tools to improve my life and 'shift' to a better self

- dealing with my fears and feeling more at ease with them. I have much less fear, almost none!

- accepting my condition and having confidence in my body

- learning how to care for my body and enjoying every moment, living better

- focusing on the present and not worrying about tomorrow

- living in the present and meeting my own needs

- changing my way of thinking to more positive

Frequently asked questions: 

1) What if I don't find the message my cancer has for me?

This is going to be an extremely powerful, life changing course and although I can't guarantee you will find all the answers you are looking for, I can assure you that you will find what you need to help you on your emotional and spiritual healing journey. During the course I will be taking you through a variety of exercises and guided meditations to help you tune into and be open to the message your cancer is bringing you. 

2) What if I don't have the energy to keep up with the exercises?

You can go at your own pace and stop for breaks whenever you feel you need to. The course is structured to be taken over 7 weeks but can extend to suit your schedule and energy level.

3) What if I have never meditated before?

No worries, all the meditations that are a part of the course are guided meditations and I also take you through a meditation at the beginning of every week so you get to practice throughout the course. The key to meditating is to not judge your performance, just allow yourself to be mindful and accepting of whatever comes up for you.
