“Jackie has helped me tremendously to prepare for arthroscopic surgery on my hip that has been under constant pressure of many years of competitive tennis. She helped to address dis-balances in my whole body and mentally prepare me for the surgery. I appreciate her genuine willingness to help, professional attitude and always being available to answer my questions. Her help not only prepared me for the surgery, but also helped me to recover after as my body and my mind were in the right state. This picture was taken on the beaches of North Carolina of me camping a few months after surgery.” —Lena Leonchuk
