Seeing the toll of daily caregiving on families raising children and/or caring for aging or unwell family members while also needing to make a living, Jan invites everyone into a safe space to speak from their exhausted and frequently broken hearts. She introduces them to heart-healing energetic, spiritual, and physical practices designed to sustain their own health and resiliency both daily and over time.

As a certified Spiritual Director and Supervisor, Jan helps individuals and groups, including mental health professionals, spiritual leaders, and seekers of many traditions, to define and deepen their relationships with the Divine, by whatever name. That work almost always entails identifying and releasing trauma and wounds from unexamined, inherited religious and cultural belief systems. Those wounds frequently lead to energy blocks in the body, which in turn can lead to physical and psychological symptoms.

By working with the chakras — the power centers of the energetic body — beliefs that no longer serve can be released and replaced by beliefs consciously chosen by the adult self. For many people, this process leads to their first felt experience of actually being loved and cared for by a nurturing Divine force, whether referred to as “God” or by some other name. To honor that life-affirming transformation, Jan encourages creative expression like journaling, drawing, painting, drumming, singing, dancing, and other movement. She is also a firm believer in the power of laughter on the healing journey!

After receiving her A.B. and MDiv. from Harvard University, Jan studied multiple healing modalities. She is honored to serve as as a Lead Facilitator and faculty member at the School of Intuitive Studies. In addition to offering 60-minute healing sessions, she also offers half hour consultations, all via Zoom.
