Let me introduce myself…
Hello, I’m Janessa, and I’m thrilled you’re here! My life journey, while unique, is packed with transformative lessons that can guide you on your own path to mastering human complexities. I’m many things: an optimist, athlete, animal lover, a wife, and an enthusiastic learner, to name a few. Raised on a farm in a tight-knit rural community, I fondly remember
the simple joys of childhood—like feeding baby animals and riding my bike to a one-room country school.
Later, I moved on to college on academic and athletic scholarships. On the outside, I seemed to be flourishing, but hidden struggles plagued me. I battled recurring illnesses, sports-related injuries, and developed an eating disorder just before turning 18. My personal relationships also suffered, leading to a marriage that unfortunately ended in divorce within a year.
This turbulent period set the stage for my true calling. I began a career in Criminal Justice, working in prison, probation, drug court, and for the Department of Homeland Security, even becoming the first female assistant team lead for an Emergency Response Team. I found purpose in helping high-risk offenders, particularly those battling addictions, but my exposure to the system’s inherent flaws left me searching for more effective ways to help people.
Guided by this quest, I explored holistic healing modalities like energy psychology and functional medicine. Not only did these approaches aid my personal healing journey, but they also equipped me with the skills to bring about real, lasting change in others.
My perspective on justice changed profoundly when I found myself entangled in a complicated case involving my significant other. The experience was eye-opening, making me question the very system I had dedicated my career to. The ordeal fortified my resolve to leverage my experience and skills to make a difference in the world.
Today, I combine my varied life experiences and professional expertise to help you navigate your own life’s complexities. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, facing personal hurdles, or in need of a transformative life change, my holistic approach aims to guide you towards a life that’s both fulfilling and truly empowered.
Based on my unique journey and the lessons I’ve learned, I’m passionate about, excel in, and love helping my clients in the following areas:
- Overcoming Addiction and Destructive Behaviors: Having been through an eating disorder and helping high-risk felony offenders dealing with addiction, I can guide you in understanding the root cause of any addictive behavior and formulating a strategy for recovery. My holistic approach focuses not just on symptom relief, but on long-term healing.
- Navigating Trauma and Healing: Having been both a witness to and a participant in traumatic events, I’ve experienced firsthand the profound impact trauma can have on mental and physical health. I specialize in using alternative modalities like energy psychology to help you release layers of trauma and rewrite your story.
- Coping with Systemic Injustices: My experience within the criminal justice system has equipped me with a nuanced understanding of systemic issues. Whether you or a loved one has been adversely affected by the system, I can help you navigate its complexities and emotional toll, while advocating for more equitable solutions.
- Strengthening Relationships: Relationships have been a challenging yet rewarding aspect of my journey. I can help you understand how to build authentic connections free of trauma bonding, how to be emotionally available, and how to sustain a healthy relationship with yourself, your partner, friends, and family.
- Personal Growth and Self-Mastery: At the heart of my work is the belief that understanding and mastering yourself is the key to a fulfilling life. Whether you’re stuck in a rut, facing a major life transition, or striving for higher consciousness, I offer tools and guidance to help you become the best version of yourself. This involves deep introspective work, lifestyle changes, and a commitment to lifelong learning and self-empowerment.
I am here to guide you in mastering the art of being human!
