Jackie turned her autism symptoms around (by coincidence) in nature using many of the same methods that I teach in my courses. She also learned how city life, processed food and a toxic lifestyle will bring the symptoms back almost immediately.In this episode she reveals how she experienced freedom from pain, bloating, lack of social skills, stress and rigidity on a camping trip where she lived like our ancestors (outdoors, sauna, sunlight, grounding, swimming, eating from the land, no electricity).When she got back to the city and her symptoms re-appeared she started her life long quest to find the best natural and spiritual healing strategies for autism. Jackie now coaches parents and professionals in the importance of a huge shift in beliefs, lifestyle and diet in order to give people on the spectrum a life without pain, stress and isolation.

You'll find The retreat, I went to HERE The books I recommend: HERE & HERE Some eloquently expressed thoughts from Dr. Gabor Maté on pre and post-ceremony guidance and integration: "The visions the medicine brings to people can be beautiful, magniﬁcent, and inspiring and engender the purest joy and gratitude; they can also be threatening, incomprehensible to the mind, and arouse terror. The emotions evoked can be gentle and soothing and suffused with peace and happiness; they can also be excruciatingly painful, frightful, and induce experiences of profound loss. The felt sense can be of ineffable freedom or of dark imprisonment. People can see and be their divine selves or be identiﬁed with the most diabolical elements of their personalities. Without preparation, processing and integration, the experience can be confusing and, for many, incomplete." "For reasons discussed above, in the North American, or more generally, in the Northern hemispheric setting, even the ceremony may not be enough. It is, for some, but may leave others bewildered. The deep psychological and spiritual dynamics potentially brought to our awareness during ceremony require guidance, both before and after, for their full integration. Even participants who have lovely experiences may not derive the complete beneﬁt without some guidance and help with interpretation." "As one who offers such guidance, I am unconcerned with the subjective nature of a person’s process, whether or not he saw beauty or monstrosity, whether or not she felt relief or intense discomfort, joyousness or horror. What matters is the teaching in each person’s experience, and that teaching arises from their lives, their formative inﬂuences, their present situation, and their present needs." ............"
