She looks amazing at 82, a lot of love and blessings, we need more strong women like you to be entrepreneurs.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
Amazing
It’s so refreshing seeing an interviewer actually listening during an interview. Lovely listening to this lovely lady.
Thank you so much
I love Miss Jackie’s philosophy. We spend so much time chasing “material things” and often miss what’s really important in life. Take time to be still, to detox, to be one with nature, to love ourselves…that’s true abundance and wealth.
I truly agree, they can have the hustle and bustle and chasing the dream. Give my the simple life.
so true
While many are complaining about this pandemic, it has been a blessing in disguise for me. It has compelled me to take a step back and do some deep introspection about my purpose in life. I have learned so many things about myself the last couple of years that have compelled me to take a pause and reconnected with my inner being. The American dream can be a killer of the soul that only allows you to exist but not live and thrive. Maybe that is why it is aptly called a dream. Miss Jackie laid down a few gems today. I definitely need to checkout her place the next time I am in Negril.
@@islanddweller4263 Amen; well said!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
There’s no place I home. I can’t wait to move back to Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I have the same feelings, I can’t wait to get back home
It will be wonderful
Me too hun..Praying to God for health & Strength 💪🏾🙏🏾❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲
82 years?! Ms Jackie you look amazing! Your story is inspiring. Wishing you many more wonderful years.
she's amazing!
This lady is so inspirational and she is so amazing! She looks great & she's truly blessed! I think she's wonderful.
It's amazing how people from all around the world love and appreciate Jamaica and its culture, yet we have Jamaicans in the diaspora, who would waste no time to speak about their country in a disparaging way. This channel has done so much for the image Of Jamaica. Thank you Throp for your contribution in helping to enlightened us about our beautiful country.
So true….
wow. Thank you so much for your kind words
The ones from the slum down grade jamaica every day ,they dont know any better most of them cant tell they difference between wats good or bad
@@willyboss495 this is so true.
I agree Chelsea.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jackie this past Sunday while on vacation in Jamaica It was an honor to be in her presence, I also did one of her services which was the Bamboo Massage and it was the best massage I had ever gotten. I can't wait to visit again.
I recently began seeking counseling for my obsession with your videos.... I thoroughly enjoy hearing *Ms. Jackie* speak her truths. You did it again *Throp.* 🇺🇸>🇯🇲......👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
lolll Thanks so much
:)) Thank you
@@Throp You're most welcome my brotha 🙏 💯
@@Throp 🙏
Really ? What was your diagnosis? 😁😁
What a brilliant and well-spoken woman. Very impressed with her courage over so many aspects of her life. When she forgot the word “clients” that totally reminded me of myself….sure I can remember the big words and forget the simplest one..lol
haha I'm the same
❤
I've always believe it should be mandatory for EVERY Jamaican to be able to go on a plane or helicopter for at least a couple hours flyover of the country. I'm sure some of us would have a greater appreciation of our likkle paradise and stop mash it up!
My Dad always says this. Travel is the best education you can get
In total agreement of all the comments. I ❤️ the island and I am from another country such as Jamaica but I'm so partial to its countryside...I am taken in with its green foliage and various beautiful water escapades....some crazy natural beauty spots....God did it😮...
My late husband and ì who happened to be French Canadian travelled around ja twiçe via the big country bus mini bus and the 3rd tìme we hìred a driveŕ. All trips started from.Kingsto will.visit thiß ĺady my next visit thanks for sharing❤
Jackie, is so right. The energy in Jamaica is so powerful, you can really inhale and exhale in such an amazing way. It just puts one in a comforting zone🧘♀️🧘♂️. Beautiful interview in what looks like a relaxing property. Thanks Jackie and Throp, I love it❤💛💚
Thank you for watching!
@@Throp you are welcome! Have a great weekend👍
@@shellywilks883 Thank you! You too!
Jamaican men makes every woman feels special everyday 😀😀
Omg cant wait to move to Jamaica
This is a lovely interview. I have to get there when I'm in Jamaica.
Is she kidding. She has a lot to offer society. I hope she lives into her 100s.
I could listen to her all day.
Thanks so much for watching
Jackie’s journey is quite fascinating and inspiring! She’s a superstar and innovator! Thanks you Throp for sharing Jackie’s amazing story!!
Absolutely. Thank you for watching
Jackie is the Queen of Queens, a truly gifted, spiritual leader. This is my favorite of your gem videos to date. This video taught me that I need to slow down, get centered, refocus and ask God to direct me as I enter a new chapter in life. Wow, I am touched by the video. She has me here talking to the plants and thanking them for growing so beautifully. I usually just drop in some water for them and keep it moving. Ahhhh, exhale. Give thanks.
Thank you for watching
Thank you for watching
Healed self or God healed her?
Most definitely now this is what the Internet should be about. It really lifted my spirits this morning and taught me how to keep going forward have a good communication with meditating, praying. Being a spiritual person makes life so much easier
One of my favorite places to visit while I'm in Negril. Ms. Jackie is a true gem.
Totally agree
Great interview Throp. What an amazing woman and story. God bless Jamaica and all its people.❤
Thanks so much for watching
Hi Jackie, my former boss and friend. The most forward thinking and innovative woman always ahead of the game. I learned much from you and watched you as you created your new dream. Jackie's on the Reef speaks for itself! Brava! my friend. May God continue to richly bless you. Much love ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome! Thank you for watching
Thanks Throp for this interview. Miss Jackie is an inspiration to both young and old alike.
Absolutely! Thank you for watching
As a person who is on a personal spiritual journey I hope that one day I can find the perfect balance of Spirituality,material abundance,and connection to nature,like this woman has successfully done🙏🌅
I appreciate you watching
@@Throp I enjoy your videos about Jamaica🙏🌅
It's was very delightful to hear someone like Miss Jackie talking. She has a good soul and it would be a pleasure to meet her in person. Next time am in Negril. I will make it a point to stop by and hopefully she'll be kind enough to speak with me.
Awesome. I’m happy to read this
Jackie,
You look amazing. You broke my heart when you said, that family members thought you were the ugly one. Goodness you are gorgeous and for 82 years, you make me feel like crap. Thank you for your uplifting spirit, drive and determination. God bless you and lifting people up 🙏❣️
Thank you Thorp for this interview. I vacationed at JOTR 20 years ago and didn’t realize it was still open. Jackie is wonderful and so spiritual, a warm hostess. A great place for R&R. I will certainly look into revisiting.
Absolutely! Thank you so much for watching!
Loved, Loved, LOVED this interview, Throp!!! Ms. Jackie is an inspiration, to say the very least. Thank you for another GREAT interview!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Jackie on a trip and was honored to be in her presence … what a genuine soul I would love to get an interview with her one day ! Nice content thanks for sharing 🇯🇲
🙏🏾 thanks so much for watching
Great interview Throp with the most inspirational woman I know in Jamaica, been in Jackie's company many times with my friend Sue from Judy House Cottages on the Westend. Jackie has a directory of lifetime stories to keep you gripped.
Both Jackie & Sue have a feel good vibe you really need to be around.
Jackie's on the Reef is an exceptional place to unwind and destress from the burnings of life. Feeling regenerated to face back home. Life isn't all parties, take that step back and you'll find you again. Relaxes me just listening to her again.
Thank you Jackie 🇬🇧 xx😊❤
One of my favorites, down to earth and full of wisdom. Beautiful soul she is. 😇
Ty.
Thank you!
Thank you Throp and Jackie. I totally enjoyed listening to this interview. Food for the soul.

Love ❤ from Cap Haitian, Haiti 🇭🇹

Jackie Lewis is an inspiration to me and treasured friend. She changed my life when I first met her and came to Jackie’s on the Reef back in 2003. I will always be grateful to her.
So amazing
She's living the life that was meant to live. Get well!
Thanks for watching!
I knew I would love this interview from the intro with the “bamboo” comment😂 Jackie is such a free spirit with a wealth of experience and knowledge. I look forward to visiting her retreat one day! Great interview! Thank you.

Thank you for watching
I've been thinking about relocating to the island. I've visited 6x in my lifetime and I am now middle age. Every time that I visit, the energy is vibrant and it just feels good. My first visit was at age 10 and its a mandatory place to visit every few years. Thanks for the transparency.
A beautiful spirit 💞thank you for showing up and teaching us❣
Thank you for watching
The place to go to find yourself. I work with her and for me it's my favourite place to revamp and renew myself as I administered healing therapies. One of my favourite human being. Some yrs ago I went through a very heartbreaking situation and the person I though to call was Ms Jackie's; a phone call that help me complete my journey back to Negril. She makes me laugh; a phenomenal woman she is💖💖💖 I love the little girl in her😅 she special. Great interview. You're right a lot of people doesn't know the best❣️ Jackie's on the Reef a must have experience!
Absolutely. Thanks so much for watching!
One of my favorite places in the world to visit for the past 20+ years. Jackie is a fascinating lady. The staff is great. Food is delicious. The scenery is heavenly. Atmosphere is peaceful. The people of Negril, Jamaica are family. I love Jackie and Jackie's on the Reef!! Continued success.....
This is a beautiful interview! Thank you for creating these moments and sharing these stories! Inspiring from a soulful place!
Thanks so much
Another great interview. Ms Jackie is a dynamic and creative person. Can’t believe she’s 82!! Could have listened to her all day.
Thanks so much!
I love Miss Jackie's vulnerability and transparency. She's a beautiful spirit.
I just came across this video. I read about this woman about 30 or so years ago living in her tent and I wanted to emulate her. I bought the tent and other things intending to go to Jamaica, my home that I was missing for so long. Cut a long story short, I still haven't used my tent but still have the hankering to do so. I really want/need to meet this truly inspirational woman. On my way!
My only issues with travelling to Jamaica now is I am mask exempt in the UK and refuse to be vaccinated also have certain compromising Health states which makes it uncomfortable travel on a plane. However , by the grace if the Most High I will make that trip soon. My Mind, Body, Soul are crying out for Ms Jackie's retreat. Thank you.🙏💞. Blessed Love ❤
Keep enjoying your life Jackie in wonderful Negril Jamaica 🇯🇲.
Thanks for watching
I remember your spa being mentioned in Essence magazine about the 1990s. I am so glad you are still open. I am planning my visit. Ms. Lewis you are so inspirational. Thank you for your service. Love and admiration from MD.
Excellent interview Throp!👏🏽👏🏽Ms Jackie is a very inspirational lady🙏🏿🇬🇧🇯🇲
Thank you so much
Awesome interview as always 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thanks so much!
I visited Ms Jackie's place several years ago for their first rawfoods retreat and had an incredible time. Ms Jackie is truly an inspiration, and her place is truly magical. I'm so glad she chose my birthplace as her base.
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Another wonderful interview Throp - showcasing excellent elements of Jamaica!! Just two days ago, I was dreaming about one of the best massages I’ve ever had in my life… and it was in Negril, Jamaica. Watching this interview, next time I’m in Negril, I will most definitely be visiting Jackie’s On The Reef to get a massage, and to sit in complete silence in the zen garden… surrounded by the beautiful sights and sounds of our magnificent island. Keep up the good work… looking forward to the next episode.
awesome! Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you for watching!
Greetings from Queretaro, Mexico. At 79, I needed a safe, beautiful and clean city to live my final time on this earth. My pension was being ripped off by landlord, utilities etc. I thank God, and I pray for everyone to stay safe and blessed.
Oh wow Mexico🇲🇽! Great to hear from you and thank you for watching
I need this now and my mom is also 82 and has all the health issues she need this too
Wonderful Interview. Makes me itch to pay a visit.
Thank you for watching!
Another excellent video contents. I enjoyed every minute of it, can’t wait to visit ❤️❤️❤️

I am HONORED 🙏🏾@@MariahKMoon
Thank you so much for this beautiful story. I too gonna take that leap. And do something different. Live free
Goog morning. Miss Jackie God Bless you keep up the good work. One Love.
Thank you for watching!
I’m so glad this video was shared with me! Great interview, I long for the day that I can relocate to such a beautiful place. We owe it to ourselves. Miss Jackie is a beautiful soul, and I commend her for the courage to walk away from the rat race and go to do the healing work to connect with nature. The shot of the beach and sand, truly made me emotional because I could feel my soul longing to get there to connect with nature. I am a new subscriber to your channel, and will watch your other interviews! Maybe your videos will get the fire under me, to make my move. I need the “simple life” for my soul.
Thanks so much for watching!
