About Guest: Jackie Durnin

Jackie Durnin is the driving force behind Hinterland Health Retreat, a world-first rehabilitation facility that combines revolutionary neuro-technology with leading holistic therapies to create a truly tailored, transformative experience. After over 15 years experience across a range of industries, Jackie began investigating tools, techniques and methods to help her manage stress, anxiety, trauma and PTSD. This resulted in her studying as a EFT practitioner and counselor, working both nationally (in Australia) and internationally at rehabilitations,  health retreats and privately with one-on-one clients. Her dedication to innovating the field of rehabilitation/wellness, led her to create a health retreat unlike anything else available world wide. This also led her to discover a range of neuro technology, that is not available outside of the U.S., that when combined with mind and body therapies, results in a huge, lasting transformation for the individual.
