About Janine 

Welcome to a journey of harmony and well-being. Since my earliest memories, I've carried a profound understanding of the interconnectedness between our bodies, minds, and spirits—a timeless wisdom that has guided my life's work.

As a little girl, I sensed the delicate balance that exists within us, and the transformative power that subtle adjustments can bring to our physical and spiritual selves. This insight has formed the bedrock of my passion—to assist others in discovering and nurturing the harmony within themselves, fostering connections with the community, spiritual guides, and loved ones.

For over 35 years, my calling has been to guide, educate, and employ various healing modalities to harmonize individuals. My toolkit includes yoga, yoga Nidra, meditation, sound healing, Reiki, personal training, shamanic practices, and nature-based programs. Through these practices, I aim to provide valuable tools for cultivating a life filled with health, harmony, energy, balance, and joy.

My journey began as a college athletic trainer, and later as a health educator for corporate wellness facilities in San Francisco. I served as the associate fitness director at AT&T corporate health centers in Pleasanton. This diverse background has endowed me with a holistic understanding, enabling me to cater to a broad spectrum of individuals—whether they are dealing with injuries, navigating pregnancy, or taking their first steps into these transformative practices.

Since 1986, I have been immersed in the world of athletic injuries, evolving into a certified yoga therapist and personal trainer since 1993. Studying exercise science in college further deepened my connection to the intricate intelligence of the human body.

Embark on this journey with me—a journey towards holistic well-being, self-discovery, and the harmonious integration of mind, body, and spirit.

Thank you for considering me as your guide on this transformative path.
