The Retreat Helping You Heal What Talk Therapy Can’t | with Jackie Durnin
What happens when healing becomes your life’s work?
In this episode of Sh*ts F*cked, Paris chats with Jackie Durnin, founder of Hinterland Health Retreat, about her journey from emotional burnout to global healer. After moving from Ireland to Australia and facing deep personal challenges around relationships, trauma, and boundaries, Jackie turned inward, and found freedom through therapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
What began as a personal healing tool became a full-blown mission. Jackie went from client to practitioner, bringing EFT and trauma-informed therapy into rehab centres and retreats across the world, including the renowned Habilitat in Hawaii.
Now, she’s built Hinterland Health Retreat, a place where science meets soul. Jackie combines modalities like EFT tapping, IV vitamin therapy, DNA health analysis, and ECG brain rebalancing to help people address trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and chronic stress at the root cause.
If you’re curious about alternative healing, emotional regulation, or breaking free from your past, this episode is full of grounded insight and real tools for transformation.
