Who We Are

Meet Jackie, the spark behind Circle Breaker Health and Wellness.

In the spring of 2019, Jackie received a diagnosis that would change her life–thyroid cancer. Like many other Americans, she had not yet awoken to the consequences of the status quo: working 60-hour weeks, not drinking enough water every day, partying on the weekends, eating anything and often eating everything. To compound the severity of her diagnosis, she had no health insurance and would be asked to pay for her treatment out-of-pocket. It was at this point she saw the need to do things differently. She said no to the American healthcare system and successfully sought treatment abroad. You can read more about this part of her story in Lithuania here.

Since being treated for papillary thyroid carcinoma, Jackie has also won battles over costochondritis, migraines, and infertility by making dietary and other lifestyle changes. In 2025, Jackie began her learning journey of Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, a group of genetic connective tissue disorders, after being diagnosed. Her experience, fueled by her education from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Clemson University, have given her the drive and knowledge to help heal and prevent many of the chronic conditions that afflict the people around her.

Jackie currently lives in Charleston, South Carolina with her husband, two children, and four furry animals. She loves to travel and you can often find her at a concert.
