Then, in clear, easy-to-follow layman’s terms, she outlines a way to release the flight/fight energy produced in our twenty-first-century living.

In Let Your Body Win: Stress Management Plain and Simple, Jackie turns us away from our Stress Cliffs to Stress Breaks, leading to a happy, healthy future where we can manage our stress.
