About Me
Jackie Baxter supports people with Long Covid, ME/CFS, post‑viral illness, and burnout by blending gentle breathwork, nervous‑system regulation, emotional regulation & creating a safe place to be seen. Her work centres on helping people feel safer in their bodies, rebuilding capacity, and the possibility of recovery, offering the steady, compassionate guidance she once needed herself.
The Recovery Room (which for 5 years was The Long Covid Podcast) began as a desperate search for answers during her own illness and has grown into a trusted space for medical experts, researchers, practitioners & recovery stories.
Beyond her professional work, Jackie embraces creativity, silliness, and the great outdoors. Whether hillwalking, wild swimming, or seeking out new adventures, she brings a joyful, grounded energy to everything she does; a reminder that recovery can lead not just to wellness, but to a fuller, brighter & more aligned life.
