Reform Eucharistic Wellness Center

An Invitation to Christ-Centered Living

What is the Reform Eucharistic Wellness Center? 

The Center will be a place for guests to immerse themselves in the Reform way of life.

Our team will guide guests on how to live out the nine Reform Wellness Pillars—they will nourish their souls with the Holy Eucharist, their bodies with whole foods, and their minds with solitude in nature. This is a place to learn how we were meant to live. It is a place to experience the fullness of life in Christ—a taste of heaven on earth. 

The Story

Seven years ago, in the midst of her own health journey, Jackie experienced deep healing in Eucharistic adoration: she realized that to be truly well, she had to place Jesus at the center of all aspects of her life. That meant that in order to help others, she had to invite them to do the same. 

And so, Reform was born. 

Since then, her team has accompanied thousands of people worldwide to reform their lives through our online courses, webinars, digital resources, and in-person retreats.

As she continued growing Reform and serving its community, the Lord provided her with several opportunities to more deeply avail herself to His will for Reform’s next steps.

Timeline of Inspiration

The first experience was a pilgrimage to Medjugorje. There, the Lord planted within Jackie a desire to mirror Our Lady and establish a place for Him to dwell—first within her, and then, for others. She knew it was time to extend Reform into the heart of His Church.

The second was a silent retreat at the Monastery of Bethlehem in upstate New York. There, among the religious sisters who live simple, hidden, and ordinary lives, she remained in silence and solitude for nine days. The Holy Spirit had space to breathe, and she was inspired to provide a similar monastic experience for the Reform community.

The third was a 300-mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago with Dr. Bridget where they increased their trust in Jesus, surrendered their self-reliance, and allowed Him to lead them. Spending the majority of their days offline and outside increased their desire to help others mirror the rhythm of nature and regularly experience the beauty of God’s creation.

Through these experiences, Jackie was given the grace of a purified heart and renewed courage to carry forward the mission of Reform in a new way.

In His generosity, the Lord revealed Reform’s next step—a Reform Eucharistic Wellness Center!

“Do you want to be well?”

 John 5:6 

Immerse Yourself in the Reform Way of Life

Experience the simplicity of living in right order.

Inspired by Padre Pio who encouraged others to “live simply, eat simply, love one another simply…” we encourage all who are weary to come and be refreshed in body, mind, and soul at the Center with spiritual and physical nourishment. 

Together we will learn  from the monastic communities how to build a life rooted in the simplicity and peace of Jesus Christ. 

We believe that we can reclaim our health and wholeness, little by little, in the midst of our daily activities and vocations. 

But the Lord also invites us from time to time  to step away from the world—its demands, its worries, its complexities— to spend time in silence and stillness with Him. He longs to speak tenderly to us and to give us His life, a life of abundance. 

Come As You Are

Anyone and everyone is welcome at the Eucharistic Wellness Center. We look forward to hosting past and current Reformers as well as those who want to take the first step to connect with the community and learn more about our offerings. 

People in all seasons and from all walks of life are invited to come. Just as people from every vocation participate in Reform, we invite priests, religious, lay persons, families, missionaries, businesses, and students to join us in this space. 

Offerings we hope to bring to fruition

Timeline for Development

At this time we are moving forward in prayerful discernment, following the promptings of the Holy Spirit to bring this vision to fruition. We are looking for properties in the Virginia countryside, and look forward to the Lord providing direction and resources through wisdom and support of our community.
