Heidi Jackson is certified and on the faculty of the Centre for Mind Body Medicine.
After many years as an Oncology nurse I saw how stress was affecting so many people’s health. So in 2016 I started my training with the Centre for Mind Body Medicine as I wanted to find work which could empower people to help themselves. This is exactly what this model of self care and self awareness does. Since my certification in 2018 I have been facilitating many in person and online groups, working with the NHS, TCD, Ukrainian refugees, stressed out mothers, burnt out professionals and many others as well as training and then supervising up and coming facilitators.

History of Mind Body Medicine
The Centre for Mind Body Medicine was started in 1991 when Dr James Gordon, a Harvard trained Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University saw that the bio medical model wasn’t working and so he explored numerous validated science based techniques to see what could help him with his stresses and trauma in his life. Having found ‘a model’ that really helped him he then tried out these techniques on his medical students/patients and numerous populations that had high levels of stress/trauma in their lives. There are now over 160 international faculty who are using this model for themselves as well as training others in their community. Over 100,000 healthcare workers/educators/community leaders and many others have been trained in this work. Our motto is ‘Teaching thousands to heal millions. For more information visit cmbm.org.
I really look forward to sharing with you many of these wonderful transformative skills over the weekend.
