a little about janell

My path into this work came through lived experience. I carry a history of childhood and adult trauma, worked as an emergency room nurse through the pandemic, and went through a profound spiritual awakening that pushed me beyond what I could manage with the tools I had.

When my body finally said “no,” I went searching for something that truly worked for my body, energy, and spirit, even if it seemed unconventional. Somatic healing and qigong became the glue that helped me rebuild myself more whole than ever before. Alongside nature, community, movement, and finding my voice, I slowly reclaimed myself. These practices supported my recovery from debilitating CPTSD, dissociation, fear, shame, and sense of haunting darkness.

What surprised me most was that healing brought more than relief. It opened playfulness, presence, curiosity, and pleasure beyond anything I remembered. What began as survival became the work I now passionately share. While no one can do this for you, having a skilled, steady guide can make all the difference.

I’d be honored to support you in reconnecting with the strength, wisdom, and inner magic that have always lived within you.
