Jan

has been practicing Shiatsu and Lymphatic Massage in the Ottawa community for over 20 years. She first studied Shiatsu in 1990, completing a full time course at the Kushi Institute in Boston. This included Shiatsu, Macrobiotic Health Care and Cooking. Since then she has continued to study, taking courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cranial Sacral, Sports Massage, Lymphatic Massage and other related techniques. She uses a combination of techniques when treating clients, no two people will receive the same treatment, each session is tailored to their personal requirements.

She has extensive experience in assisting clients with lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise, to achieve and maintain optimum health. Her speciality is in helping clients with issues such as chronic back pain, headaches and digestive disorders. She can recognise the early expressions of disease, and assist in resolving these and more chronic conditions. She is also experienced in helping clients at the end stage of life. Her approach is compassionate and respectful, understanding the path of the healing process.

More recently she discovered yoga, and finding that it had huge health benefits for herself, she decided to take this further. She has studied Akhanda Yoga with Yogi Vishva, received her Yin Yoga Teacher Training from Marc Laham and did her 200 hr. Yoga Teacher Training with Basia Going where she was introduced to, and fell in love with, the ancient practice of Ashtanga (Primary Series ).

As a Yoga teacher, she brings to her class the ancient principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine drawing attention to meridians (the energy pathways in the body), the 5 Element Theory and Western Anatomy. Creating a space for healing and transformation, coming into a heart space.

She embraces the practice of Yoga in her personal life as a practice of Being Present and staying connected to the breath ..... breathe, observe the resistance, breathe, soften into the experience, letting go.
