AS SEEN/HEARD ON:
ABout
I provide brave spaces for touch deprived and touch averse adults struggling with making touch connections in their lives. I do this by creating spaces to reintroduce touch so that they can be successful in accessing this essential human need. I also collaborate with therapists, doctors, and medical professionals to ensure better health outcomes for their patients and clients.

Reviews
“I had the ABSOLUTE PLEASURE to join the amazing Janet in one of these circles and it completely revolutionized my relationship with my body. I was SO SCARED, I almost didn’t do it, but I KNEW I needed to do it... I have never felt so accepted and held by women before, which is what can happen when you are most vulnerable in such a sacred space. I walked out of there with a confidence and love for my body that I had never felt before.”
“Awesome! Janet has a calming presence about her. She made me feel at ease as soon as I stepped through the door of the temple. ”
“It is not easy to guide people in questioning their attitudes towards subjects of sexuality which are considered taboo. Janet tackled this formidable task with sensitivity and creativeness. The subject matter was approached in a mature and thoughtful manner as she guided participants in expressing their attitudes from different gender perspectives. It was indeed an enlightening experience. I’m glad that I was able to attend.”
