Everyone is made for wholeness and holiness. Christ desires to give His abundance life and healing to everyone. Through our non-profit Reform Alms, we offer financial support to those who desire (w)holiness in body, mind, and soul.
Reform Alms is a 501(c)(3) organization operating independently from Reform Wellness. As a functional medicine practice and Christ-centered apostolate, we believe in redefining health as the state of the whole person—body and soul. By integrating faith with functional health, Reform helps people dig to the roots for healing and empowers them to reach their God-given potential. Our mission is to expand our reach around the globe by providing scholarships for Reform Online and a variety of other services to support the whole person.
Our Mission
Anyone who wants to pursue Christ in greater freedom through their overall health should have the opportunity to do so. Cost should never be a barrier to healing. With scholarships funded through Reform Alms, we are able to serve more religious, clergy members, schools, parishes, lay communities/organizations, and individuals who would otherwise be unable to receive services for whole person healing.
Who We Serve
Eucharistic Wellness Center
Contributions to Reform Alms help support in-person education and programs for rest and renewal at our Eucharistic Wellness Center. You can help a Reformer attend an in-person retreat for an immersive learning experience in the nine wellness pillars.
Reform Alms Scholarships

Reform was founded and started by Jackie. She now serves Reform as Chief Executive Officer. After years of tireless striving, stress, and compromised health as a result of her lifestyle, Jackie found her identity, healing, and wholeness in God. She found a more simple way; a way centered in faith, wellness, and freedom. Now, she is devoted to helping others find the same.
Combining her passions of wellness, faith, and education, Jackie works with clients locally and around the world. Along the way, she discovered that one of her greatest passions was helping others build stronger connections to themselves, their health, and their faith through wellness at every level: physical, emotional and spiritual.
Through working with a variety of individual clients, religious orders, corporations, and educational institutions across the globe and observing a number of habits and cultures, Jackie found the common denominator: others were striving to find their way to be fully alive in Christ, in body, mind, and soul. Her personal practice grew into Reform.
As a holistic nutritionist, wellness practitioner and experienced educator, Jackie has paired her personal experience with her professional knowledge to create a program that innovatively merges faith and functional health. The information and tools she shares grows from her life experiences and education: Master of Business Administration, Master of Secondary Education, Bachelor of Art in Languages, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Nutritionist Consultant, former NYS Certified Spanish teacher.

Ryan is proud to be a member of the Reform Alms Board and serves as the Board's secretary which coincides well with his day job as a partner with a government contracts boutique law firm. While it is one of several Catholic charitable boards to which Ryan offers his time and talents, Reform Alms is his favorite. He is especially excited about the possibility of a Eucharistic Wellness Center. In all of his free time, Ryan is a voracious reader, avid outdoorsman, mediocre woodworker, and rabid Notre Dame football fan.
