Company Description *
On Autoimmune Diseases and the Need for Awareness:
Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. Conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and celiac disease affect more than 50 million people in the U.S. alone, with women disproportionately impacted.

Despite their prevalence, autoimmune diseases are underrepresented in mainstream health discussions. Many individuals living with these conditions struggle to find proper care and support.

Raising awareness about autoimmune diseases is crucial for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and mental health support, ultimately improving quality of life for those affected.

Tamara’s Approach to Holistic Wellness:
Tamara integrates mental health care with physical health for a truly holistic approach to wellness.

Her therapy services help clients manage the emotional and psychological toll of autoimmune conditions while fostering resilience and strength.

Her work includes stress management techniques, dietary insights, and trauma recovery, which are critical to supporting long-term wellness for autoimmune patients.

The Invitation Documentary:
The Invitation highlights the personal journeys of women living with autoimmune diseases, offering a platform for their stories of survival and resilience.

The documentary sparks important conversations about autoimmune disease awareness and educates the public on the challenges of living with chronic illness.

The Invitation is available for film screenings and talkbacks, providing a space for deeper conversation about autoimmune disease management and holistic healing.

Tamara’s Core Beliefs on Wellness and Chronic Illness:
“The fight against autoimmune diseases goes beyond physical health—it’s about healing the mind, body, and spirit,” says Tamara R. Jackson.

Through her work, Tamara emphasizes the importance of diet, stress management, and emotional support when navigating chronic illness.

Dietary changes can empower individuals to regain control over their health, supporting the body’s healing process alongside professional mental health care. #BEST
