Jackie’s passion for hormone replacement therapy began with her own journey. When she started experiencing perimenopausal symptoms, she struggled to find answers—and that search sparked her commitment to helping others. Now a lifetime member of the BHRT Training Academy in Charlotte, NC, Jackie specializes in creating truly personalized hormone replacement therapy plans. She believes no two people should ever receive the same treatment—because effective HRT must be individualized to each unique body.

As the principal owner of Modern Health, LLC, Jackie is dedicated to empowering women and men to uncover the root causes of their health challenges, especially during the transitions of perimenopause and menopause. Her path into functional medicine was deeply shaped by the loss of her mother, who lived what appeared to be a “healthy” life until a sudden stage 4 renal cell cancer diagnosis took her within three months. Despite excellent conventional medical care, Jackie saw firsthand the need for a deeper, functional approach that might have changed her mother’s outcome.

This experience fuels Jackie’s mission: to guide others in identifying the root causes of their symptoms and reclaiming their vitality through personalized wellness evaluations.

Before following her passion for functional medicine, Jackie spent twelve years as a nurse practitioner specializing in gynecologic oncology at St. Dominic’s. She earned her Doctorate of Nursing Practice from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she focused on hereditary cancer mutation research. Recognizing that genetics is just one piece of the health puzzle, Jackie expanded her training to become a certified practitioner with the Institute of Functional Medicine. She is also pursuing advanced education with the Society for Senescence Research & Practice (SSRP), the gold standard in peptide and cellular medicine.

Outside of work, Jackie enjoys golfing with her husband, Bryan, spending time with family and friends, and taking long walks with their two Portuguese Water Dogs, Dix and Maddy.

Her collaborating physician is Michael Sanders, MD.
